bruno22rf Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Used Original - should just about get a mod 5 if you shop around - superb engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Original is the make , German I believe, not sure theyre made any more ? Why a spring gun specifically ? The way forward these days is gas ram, Webley Alecto is a popular gun, or an HW 45 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 It's for my dad and the whole disposal air cylinder or a diver bottle is too much hassle, he won't use it much so this will suit his needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Tempest (old style) or hw45 are both excellent but require a bit of practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But CO2 repeating pistols are a lot more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 If its a full power pistol he is after without co2 or pcp /bottles etc . As said above a webley electo /zoraki Is a good choice .though they have a very tight grip and only suit small hands Much cheaper and every bit as good is a crosman 1377 or 1322 pump up pistol 10 easy pumps will get you around 5 fpe in either cal .

strimmer_13 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 If its low power and wanting a accurate gun, try a gamo compact, or what ive got but without the fancy grip the pr45. Both cheap. If you want powerful but very low to non existent recoil get the crossman pumps. You want something chunky and feels 'proper' bsa 240 magnum or hw45, or more old school the webley tempest. All mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cervusman Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 An Original model 6 is a very good air pistol that’s non recoil for target shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
