wizzard83 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) My wife came with me plinking the other day when my mate couldn't make it and she's only gone and got the bug... I'm looking for something in a .177 for her. Not too heavy but nicely acurate. Not too expensive either, not until I know she's gonna stick with it! I'd like a pcp but that may run a bit expensive so are there any half decent budget springers that aren't goin to have too bad a recoil that anyone can recomend? Thanks all in advance.

I'll give it a look ta. hello, give them a ring at the factory just in case there are a few left, very easy to service, nice and light and very accurate, i used one for hunting out to 50 yards, brocock are to stop making all but the compatto but keeping spares for 10 years and service kits for longer.

steve_b_wales Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Take a look at the Hatsan Striker 1000 S1000 model. A friend bought one for his grandson, and reckons it's good value for money. http://www.gunmart.net/gun_review/hatsan_striker_1000s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 IMHO - the most likely reason she will quit is if, no matter how hard she tries, her gun is simply not capable of consistent accuracy or is heavy/uncomfortable to use. I would also bare in mind that if she does carry on, and you buy her a cheap Turkish Delight, then you will soon be forking out for a replacement. Spend a little more and, if you are quick off the mark, you could buy a gun, use it for a couple of years then sell it for little, if no, loss. Scan the website "newsnow" for "air rifles for sale" and you should soon find something suitable - I would strongly suggest the AA S200 as it can be bought for under £300 and is stupidly accurate - in fact, no matter wot you're using, it will give your gun a good run for it's money.

wizzard83 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) They don't have any concept 6 left unfortunately. I've been looking at an s200 for me so something to think about definitely, but I kinda fancy having a look at a springer as well now... for research purposes u undersrand! Anyone had any experience with the browning springs? There's a special offer on the x blade with a scope included that is a bit tempting, or the bsa comet seems to get some good reviews as well (although I hear that beesa like to buy positive comets...)

Rewulf Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Shes going to get fed up cocking a springer IMHO. AA S200 as has already been mentioned,is the way to keep her happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycho Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Just be straight with her.tell her that just because you did the washing up once it does not mean you will do the housework.and just because she went plinking does not mean it's her new hobby Edited October 21, 2016 by psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I got mine a s200, and she cherishes it . I wish they made a belt feed for it though, as she has three mags , and goes through .177 AA Diablo's like you wouldn't believe. Get her one she will love it.
