Sam_davies Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi all, what decent cheap pcp air rifles can i get for about £200, only the gun. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 'decent' ... 'cheap' There is a phrase : cheap for a reason. If you want quality, then you generally have to pay for it. For £200, you'll get a good quality springer. Most PCPs at that price are either poorly built, in need of major work, or are scams. Having said that, you might get lucky.

FalconFN Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Keep your eye on second hand ads, you can sometimes get a decent enough older single shot PCP fir that. AAs300, Falcon FN12 or 19, BSA Ultra etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_davies Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Cheers for the advice guys, i have seen a webley raider 2 shot for sale for £180, what are they like? Any good for my first pcp? Not clued up on air rifles, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Why are you set on a PCP Sam? As a newcomer to air rifles you might be better starting with a springer, you are more likely to get a reasonable gun for the money and once you can shoot a springer, a PCP will be a doddle in the future. You say £200 gun only but with a PCP you'll need a pump or bottle, another £140 -£200 and then a scope, £50 upwards and a bag, £25 or more before you start buying pellets. If anything goes wrong with a PCP (and it will!) they are far more difficult to repair as well. The Raider may be a genuine bargain but don't jump in too quick!

Sam_davies Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks for the reply, im set on a pcp because i have been using a pcp at my local shooting range, ive owned a springer before and im not keen. Plus, i think the pcp would be quieter for rabbits, i currently have permission for my shotgun, but like to use an air rifle for rabbits and such. All advice is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_davies Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 ... forgot to add, im budgeting £200 just for the rifle. I still have a scope from my springer and a bag.. we can also charge the guns at the club until i get a pump or bottle. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I don't know where you live but here's a bargain http://www.gunstar.co.uk/bsa-ultra-177-air-rifles-for-sale-in-ayrshire/Air-Guns/716353#uRj2VgYc0W3fb7Wc.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Agree with the S300-very good rifle just a bit dated but more than capable of giving more modern guns a run for their money. Dont forget that if you buy from a shop without seeing the gun (sometimes the only way if the rifle you want, at the price you want, is hundreds of miles away) then you are covered by distance selling regs-if for ANY reason you decide against the gun then you have 7 days to return it-you are only liable for postage.PS-if you add your location to your profile it could help.

archiebald Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I would look for a falcon fn19, I seen them for sale at this price. Top guns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Second hand Hatsan AT44-10 would be circa £150-200 I reckon. They are pretty ok. Fairly heavy and a little front end heavy but decent off sticks and prone. Falcon's are great, but seem to hold their value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 If you can get me one at that price, I'll take it. Lol. Hatsan At 44 10, that is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I had a bengi discovery. I don't recommend one! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Harrison Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 have you tryed a TX200 (springer) at the range ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les*1066 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi all, what decent cheap pcp air rifles can i get for about £200, only the gun. Cheers You won't get a new one for that price, but there are plenty of 2nd hand ones around. Try Gunstar etc. BSA Ultras are great, Hatsans not so great, but all of them will be fairly accurate.

Ricko Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Save up to increase your budget. You'll get a better item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onatangent Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Anyone that knocks an at44 hasn't tried one or is a brand snob. They are nose heavy but I manage to shoot one off hand, bipod, sitting and prone without issue. Excellent value for money new and second hand, good reviews everywhere for it. I almost bought from the likes of Falcon, BSA and alike but they offered nothing more for the extra £150-£200 price tag. Second hand at44 are still around £280 with a basic scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thinking outside the box you could always get an SMK QB79 and fit a regulated air bottle like one from Guerilla for under £200 you will get a pcp then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) You will also need a WW seal kit though and be fairly proficient at taking it apart and rebuilding it but it is the cheapest way to a pcp! But it is still under £200 even with the seal kit. You are looking at £110 for the gun £50 for the bottle and £10 for the seal kit!
