    I agree that the Walther Rotex RM8 is a better quality rifle but it is also more than twice the price, not just a little more. The XM1 is £275 with a scope, moderator and 2 magazines, the RM8 is over £500 without a scope.

    I bought one a few weeks ago in .177, £275 which includes a 3-9x40 scope, a moderator which works really well and 2 magazines. I bought an air pump on Amazon for £45, so for less than £330 with a tin of pellets I was up an running. I haven't shot air rifles since the 70s so I didn't want to spend a lot of money until I decided whether it was for me. The scope is clear and bright and holds zero perfectly so is much better than I expected. It is a Snowpeak rifle, basically the latest regulated SMK PR900W in a synthetic stock. I am using RWS Superfields and at 15 yards (longest range in my garden), it is spot on. It is a fairly small reservoir, but with a 200 bar fill I can put 8 mags (72 pellets) through it before it hits 100 bar. The magazines that came with it feed well, but the 2 extra mags I bought weren't as good and needed a bit of fettling. Too soon to tell how reliable it will be but has to be one of the cheapest ways into PCP air guns
