Sigmund Fraud 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you're looking in the £700 range, you'll almost definitely want a PCP (air capsule) repeater (revolving magazine). I'll leave it up to the others to advise on which one to go for, however with the quarry you're after make sure it's silenced and has a good quality scope. Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 right............... with your budget you will be able to get a multi-shot pcp. don't forget you will need a pump or divers bottle to go with it. bsa,logun.air arms, weihrauch..............up to you really. best advice is to get down to your local gun shop. try whatever you can ............different guns suit different people, its got to feel right !!!! don't rule out a decent spring rifle either..................depends on your needs. have a look round mate see whats good,bad or ugly. stick your findings up on here and we will advise accordingly. you'll always get an honest answer on here. good luck and keep us posted regards sean Quote Link to post

smallford 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 thanks for all the advice lads, much appreciated and have taken it all on board, will let you know what i come up with in the next couple of days thanks again sean Quote Link to post
smallford 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 googled a search and came up with www.gunshot.co.uk they are not far from me in park street just outside st. albans, so will be taking a drive over on friday, now so i dont look stupid when i go in there whats the difference between .177 and .22 is it that one comes under licence and the other not. if so which one is which, and dont stitch mme up either lol sean Quote Link to post
mark01856 7 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 177 is smaller and i flies flatter, can reach bigger distances than 22 22 is bigger and has more inpact than 177. it is the power of the gun that determines whether or not you need a license. i think i am right but im quite new to all this also Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 .177 and .22 refers to the calibre of the gun in inches. the legal limit for an air rifle not requiring a licence is 12ft/lbs. i think it may be advisable for you to do a bit more research before you buy a rilfle. they are to be treat as any firearm.............safety first every time. it isn't a simple case of buy a gun and go shoot it !!! you MUST know the basic principals behind the trajectory/range of your ammo.........if you dont know where its going.......where will it go???? theres the LAW to consider as well as what you can and cant shoot and where!!!!!!! ( have alook at the shooting in back garden topic running at the moment)click below. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=54862 have search through this forum you'll find most questions have been asked and answered before. all the best sean Quote Link to post
