Sauer Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi there , I work abroad but a colleague who lives in Chesire area is wanting to get an air rifle to plink about & maybe do bit of ratting / rabbits etc s . He was asking my advice & he's not wanting to spend huge amount as not sure if he will stick it . So. I advice a Springer or gas ram rather than pcp , and all that goes with it , cylinders etc . So Springer or gas ram ? What's advantages / disadvantages . Also I'm only familiar with weirauch to be honest so what one to get ? He's looking at a gas ram gammo . Any good shops Chesire area ( I'm Scotland). Or even local to him 2nd hand ? Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Cheaper than the BSA (which is the same gun just priced more). I would look for a Hatsan 60 Vortex myself..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine wasn't great to begin with, the finish isn't the best and rusts rather easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
