jamiedenny Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 hi guys, So ive sold my mint hw100 with all its charging gear to fund a shooting truck (sad and happy at the same time). I hadly ever pick up the air rifle but i need something to shoot the ferrals around the farm. Iv been shooting air rifles since a nipper and cabinet feels empty without one. i need a cheap as chips springer with max spend around £100. There are lots of options but my knowledge of this area is minimal (i know its going to be something basic). Has anyone got some recommendations of what to pick up? .

pimpkiller Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 new a hatsan 55/60 gamo whisper ect but then you have got to fork out for a scope. Sounds like second hand would be a better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT SEARCHER Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Hatsan 55 or 60 and the 1000s Striker. Have a look on www.gunstar.co.uk loads on there. Have a look at www.kirklees-guns.co.uk They are selling off some of there part ex guns cheap. Like a Hammerli 750 new £65. Webley Valuemax £70. Hatsan 1000s Striker with scope £75. The list is endless there`s so many cheap springers out there. Edited June 9, 2013 by NIGHT SEARCHER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I would recommend the Hatsan 55 or 60, simply because it is the Webley Stingray mark 2 for half the cost but with a much better safety catch! I own one and find it a great springer to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overandunder2012 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 second hand would be your best bet you would get more gun try gunstar its a good site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiedenny Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 thanks peeps, I have too many scopes knocking around that would be good enough for springer and ferrals. atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon6ppc Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 you just sold a HW100 it must of been accurate , so get a HW97, you wont go wrong pal, them germans where hard work in 1940 but the stuff they use is brilliant, end off cheers simon...

jamiedenny Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 thanks simon, i had a hw97 and would have another but its out of my price range at the moment, unless you have one you would like to sell for £100 ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT SEARCHER Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 He is not going to find an HW97 for a £100. Kirklees-guns are selling a BSA Superstar for £125 They were has good as an HW77 if not better in there day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiedenny Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 thanks I did try and contact kirklees but not had a call back yet. I also assume they would need to sell face to face so by the time I add postage and RFD fees on its a bit pricy. I'll keep looking on gunstar and see what I can pick up. great prices though !

GingerCat Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Have a striker in .22, for the money its great, not a hw or bsa but very good. They have one for 75, for that price its a steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garden gun Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Jamie, If you can wait - are you going to CLA Game Fair? If so you may pick up a £100+++ for less than budget because of show discount. Who knows you may even pick up a brand spankers that has sat on the shelf for a while that the RFD wants to shift. Apparently the Gun Makers Row this year is the biggest ever with over 171 stands!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiedenny Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I shall keep my cash ready then. Planning on a few purchases so will work my negotiation skills on a stand. Thanks peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Be careful, people get show blind, I saw one stall at a country show selling rifles for 30% more than I had seen them selling them for in their shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlerob Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Be careful, people get show blind, I saw one stall at a country show selling rifles for 30% more than I had seen them selling them for in their shop! yes so when you bid them down or say whats best price they will knock 20 - 30%off and this make you think you just got the deal of a lifetime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power of price comparison and smart phones!. Should t have sold that hw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Amazing how many people suffer from show blindness though. I picked u a Mora Clipper knife for a tenner last show I went to, they sell for about that online, just nowhere round me sells the damned things, so was useful! Got some other useful bits like a scrim net, Jack Pike llc (loose leaf camo, made the gun cloak from those two), but saw people paying over retail for B2s and thinking they got a storming deal! Only £72 for a useless cricket bat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-b Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 i can recommend the hatstand mod 60 with screw cut silencer i got mine brand new with hawke scope and mounts for £120 its got lovely wood work and plenty of poke! but if you have a bit of time to look then you will find some cracking deals 2nd hand on these gun's for sale websites!!
