Granty1222 0 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Good morning everyone from sunny Dorset! Glad to be accepted into the Forums as a new member, o.k about me then: Currently feeling like the new kid at school and i am going to have a good look around the forums to gather as much information as i can (also become somewhat of a YouTube hero!) Once im happy im looking at buying an Air Rifle, my plan after purchase is to do some basic target practice and once my confidence builds take it out into the various field and woodland around my local area (permission dependant). Apart from that Hello and thanks for taking the time to listen to me droan on! Looking forward to being an active member Thanks again Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Granty1222 0 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Looking aorund the forum today a springer i think as a beginner? Apart from that not sure really, going to visit Sportsman near Dorchester this weekend with my budget and see what i could possibly get, as long as i have something by early March i will be happy! I have seen the good advice regarding HW, BSA etc so we will just have to see once i really start looking, also dont want to spent alot as i would rather spend little and get into it then invest later! My main point is i want to be accurate and have a rifle that is lethal 1st shot before i venture out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
villaman 9,982 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 You would be better of with a HW springer . I have 2 HW97 one in .22 and another in .177 and will be adding a HW 95 very soon . You are more than welcome to have a go on them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
