hi all , i was hoping to pick someones brains . i don't yet have an air rifle and i've been debating which one to buy . i like the independence of a springer but i also like the multi shot recoiless benefits of a pcp . i was looking through some of my back issues of airgun magazines when i spotted an ad for the theoben slr98 which is an underlever rifle with a 7 round mag . it seems to be the best of both worlds . my problem is , it's a bit out of my price range and i could get a decent pcp for less . to get to the point , i was wondering if anyone knows of any other similar rifles ? thanks for taking the time to read this and please accept my gratitude for any advice you can offer .

Pcp i would recommend Air Arms maybe pick a cheap second hand s200/s410 or springer would have to be a bsa lightning.

Mate I have been looking at the single shot BSA Hornet, no experience with it, but the name BSA says enough for me. It is a good price to boot for a pre-charged job.

Times are (have) changed at BSA!

BSA have historically made some good reliable workhorse guns but what does Gamo say to you?

[half n' half 8]

you could look for a second hand BSA goldstar,RWS 300R or even a gamo shadowmatic which are all multi shot spring guns that can be picked up for under £200 second hand.

A good PCP entry level rifle would have to be the new AAS200 for around the £250 mark, as for a reasonably priced springer I would try to get hold of a second hand BSA tactical.

 

Hope this helps

go for pcp rifle .. low noise if any .no recoil. spring rifles ok but too loud i my self am just getting back into shooting after years off

and from my past hunting trips i remember hiding along a hedge waiting there i noded of when i opened my eyes there was 14 rabbits i fired got 1 every rabbit all of them for 200yrds legged it ... my mate he got a pcp took him to same place he got 3 or 4 .

i went with him many times and in the end he fired then i went second .. he finally got his own shoots and baged 6 or 7 most days + tree rats ,crows ect

me i got 1 to 3 rabbits ....so now ive talked the wife into letting me get a new gun it will be air arms s410 or the tdr

When i started shooting i first joined a club then bought myself a springer (theoban sirocco) lovely rifle, but i found it a real pain cocking after every shot, so i bought a Gunpower Stealth , the trouble is when you first start you dont know what you will end up doing, i turned to the love of hunting, i also found that just cocking the bolt and sliding a pellet in at the club i stayed more focused on the target, cocking a springer allways broke that concentration for me........

sincerest thanks for the advice mate . to be honest , i think you were the only one who really understood what i was asking for , although i'm grateful to all who offered advice and the benefit of their experience . all i need to do now is find somewhere that deals with second hand guns on-line . with the ( useless , badly thought out and almost funny if it wasn't so depressing ) v.c.r. act , i'm hoping to find one run by private individuals as opposed to a shop . thanks once again .

if you want a top springer try a air arms prosport.
