bramble Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 hi lads i hope someone can help. my 14 year old neighbour is looking to get an air rifle for xmas. i think a springer would be best for him to get started for now.he will be coming with me when i go after the pigeons do you think 177 would be best? ps if anyone knows of a decent setup to get him going around the £200 mark, any help would be greatly apreciated..

The Duncan Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Ahh no! Now when you bring the type of air rifle into play; springer? IMHO definitely go off sweeter and with easier-to-handle-recoil in.22. If I ever had to buy anothr springer, it would be in .22 and shoot at slightly closer ranges - ideal for a beginner and a recoiling gun will teach a new shooter far more about good gun handling than a 'dead' pcp ever could. Recoilless Pcp ? - then .177 for all the plus points of the other thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hi Got one of each, lightning XL in .177 & wiehrauch hw90 in.22 Like them both, the BSA does have more recoil than the HW90 the HW is gas ram. For preference I do like my little lightning. HW has more paggering power at close range <20metres. BSA over stuffs??? ATB Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
