Best Used Springer

[buster gonads 862]

Iam looking to buy a used springer, going to buy local so i can go see it, i dont want to spend more than £200 less if poss and that includes scope, what i,d like to know is which make/model would be the best to go for and which makes/models should i avoid, the last air rifle i had was a HW80 but that was back in the early 80's, i presume things have moved on since then, buster.

Hi Buster,

In my humble opinion i would go for a HW springer, and HW for pcp too.

Air Arms pro, and the TX 200 are outstanding also.Try and save a little bit more money if you can mate, £300 will buy a lot more rifle than £200.

There was a decent 97 on the bbs for 230 the other day.

You'll pick up a decent but old hw80 or 77 for less than £200 mate, and you'll have either the best break barrel or under lever springer ever made for your money. You're gonna have to part with a bit more of your money for a decent scope but you'll have a self contained quality hunting rig that'll last you for years.

What they said! Can't go wrong with a Weihrauch. A friend picked up a used HW80 with reasonable scope and pellets from a dealer the other month for £250, Deadly combo!.

You might get a rough tx200 for your budget mate a good clean up will be spot on

Or any hw they all fantastic imo . I tuned up a 35 for someone on forum and even that was bloody shockingly accurate and pushing 11 fbs so up there on power too I liked it so much I'm picking another up tomorrow going to do my own take on the sfs imp shorted screw cut barrel and full tune should be a cracking little springer

Whats your opinion of the HW 99s, i only ask as i,v been offerd one but turned it down, also been offerd a prosport but thats £300 for the bare gun, i was hopeing to get a decent scope on it for that money, not that i wanted to spend £300 in the first place.
