new springer advice

[gwalchmai4110 1,758]

hiya lads, just wandering if any one on here could point me in the direction of a little springer to have a mess about with?

doest have to be fancy but i want it to generally shoot where im pointing it, just fancy something to pass a few hours on these long summer nights.

any advice what to go for or indeed what not to go for would be great!

HW99, light, accurate and can be used without a scope.

HW35

HW97 CARBINE

TX200 CARBINE

HW95

HW80

SOME OF THE ABOVE ARE NOT LITTLE BY NO MEANS BUT ALL WILL OUT LAST YOUR LIFE TIME

AND YOU WILL NOT NEED TO BUY AGAIN ETHER

any hw or air arms are good but if your after a light weight cart about thats up for the job id say hw99 and only £200 new!

Older BSA Meteors and Mercurys could fit the bill and, they seem to be fairly cheap at the moment.

Another vote from me for the 99, superb guns!

The HW 99 is a great choice but you`ll want a decent scope and good mounts which will take you over £300-£350 I`d have thought ?

                  There is however a very good gun, that "ticks" all of your boxes GW .

                   Consider a Remington Express, £159-95 including a 4x32 scope and mounts

                   Has nylon spring guide, lubed correctly, achieves 11.8 ft/lbs and produces 1/4 inch sized groups at 35 yards.

                   Pellets recommended are AA Fields and Daystate Range Master.

                   Auto safety, smooth breech lock up, ambidextrous stock, adjustable two stage trigger.

                   Weighs 7.4 lbs.

Well, HW seems to be getting the vote, but they are generally well made and they do offer quite a range, best to pop into you local dealer and feel a few out!

Hate to disagree with Mark Williams about the Remington Express. At my local range, I've met loads of guys who have bought Expresses and only one who kept it. To a man, they found the trigger awful and so it;s difficult to become consistent. Most of them tried the HW99. All have loved them. £50-£60 for a reasonable scope and Bob's your Uncle.
