ace_of_hearts Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 My friend is looking for a cheap air pistol to plink with in my back garden. Are there any makes that should be avoided or anything that should be taken into consideration? Budget is around £60 - £70 i think, all advice welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Get a crosman 2240 he will not be disapointed, i can get one pellet on top of another at 15 meters!! I'll second that choice - though I wouldn't claim to be quite as good a shot! (unless they were gas or electricity meters at 5 yards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant8681 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have attached a red dot sight to it so guess im cheating a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace_of_hearts Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Thanks for the advice everyone he has just ordered a new Crosman 2240. I will have to get him to sign up on here and post some pictures when it comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Tell him to avoid Googling "Crosman 2240" - otherwise he will start dreaming of how to customise and modify it - there is a lot that you can do, but of course, we are somewhat restricted by the 6 ftlb power limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
