Best Spring Rifle

[RussBoy 77]

right lads could i have some of your views on what yous think is the best hunting spring rifle on the market today. taking into consideration, weight, silence and accuracy of the weapon?

also what would be your favoured scope to go along with it?

 

cheers, Russ

best on the market has to be the venom custom spring rifles but there alot of money.

 

for out the box gun then air arms prosport or tx200, or if you want german then look at the hw 97k

 

there never going to be as silent as a pcp because you have spring noise but they can be very accutrate with pratice.

as for a scope you dont want anything to big as some spring rifle can be heavy anyway.

 

somethink like a whitetail 3.5x10x50 would do nice or if you want a scope to use for different ranges a mtc 3x12x44 would be nice. i had one on my fac s10 and the different lines worked out well for different ranges.

 

the key to a good spring rifle'' is build which any of the above is top stuff and a good trigger as standard. which all the rifles above have to.

 

a hw is good with a tune to. imo the prosport is the best out of them with the underlever hidden in the stock

Pro Sport, or HW95K if you prefer a lighter weapon. I use both and the PS is the V MACH tuned model, a tad heavy but a top rifle. The 95K is much lighter and a really good rifle that you can carry all day without feeling your arms are about to drop off.

As for a scope, I've crap eyesight, so I rely heavily on the power of them and have found that it does not pay to skimp on the cost, there are so many to be had, but at the end of the day you get what you pay for and what you are comfortable with. Always take the scope out into daylight to have a look through it at the distance you intend to zero it at

My fav rig - SFS Banshee (tuned HW95 action, full length silencer, Walnut stock) in .177 topped off with a Simmons WTC 3.5 - 10 x 50.

My fave is the HW97k! but then i would say that! any of the names above would do the same job though to be honest. really its just a personal thing, and obviously money comes into it too! Ive allways liked the look of the Air Arms Pro Sport too, never had the chance to use one though
