Springer Recommendations?

[Marccus]

I'm looking for a decent Springer for vermin control ie. Rabbits, squirrels corvids etc. As my garden has been invaded!

Can anyone recommend a decent Springer for under £350?

Thanks in advance

Invaded by rabbits - you lucky swine.

£350? I think you’re looking at hw or airarms second hand (with scope)

New can get you Gamo, Smk, Hatsan and bsa lightning. But I don’t know much about those.

Hw99s

Hw95k

Bsa lightning 

Loads in your price range 

 

 

I'm getting another Hw99s in. 22 

These have open sights, could be ideal for close up rabbits and magpies.

Used:- 

Weihrauch HW 97K or 77K.

Air Arms TX 200 or TX200HC

As has already been mentioned, there are a few decent new Weihrauchs that would fit the bill too.

Another for a s/h HW97k

2nd dibs on the Springer Stu.Pretty sure that under new PW rules - you must sell your item now or risk being called a Big girls blouse for as long as we all remember your crime (couple of hours should do it).

Most Springers are m8 - couldn't put a price on mine - just clipped one today (can't get a groomer for love nor money) - half way through before he lost his patience so he currently looks like an Afghan Hound.

HW80 is an excellent piece of engineering, lovely to shoot, but heavy to carry.  Good choice for vermin control within a garden (as the OP requires), but I found that walking a long distance over the hills while carrying an HW80 and a dozen rabbits was quite hard work.
