southeastpete Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi, My American friend has asked me to recommend a half decent air rifle for him to get for $200! I wouldn’t have a clue what’s available at what price over there so I had a quick google. Cabelas had a fun looking twin co2 capsule powered .177 bb assault rifle! Looked great fun and the chipmunks would be riddled. But anything more practical is a break barrel under $200. Ive told him to double his budget and get a cheap pcp. I couldn’t see any under levers... Does anyone live in America, or have good knowledge of their airguns and could recommend something? He’s in Boston if it helps. thanks peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitetail Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Benjamin maurader but it's going to be double your friends budget, then he's going to have someways of charging it. Unless he's going to be using it in a sub division or city limits a 22 rimfire might be a better idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBodyImportant Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I live in America, no clue about air rifles. 22lr is about the same price as pellets so I go that route. Tell him to get a 22lr and super Colbres. (22 with out a powder charge). Or a can and subsonic ammo.

Chaz25 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I do like the pump ups, there seems to be quite a tradition for them in America, like the 2200 magnum by Crossman, Benjamin392 etc, there much like a pcp with a pump built in and can give fairly good power depending on pump, chamber volume etc energy's around 15-18fpds they will be much nicer than a spring gun at the same power plus its a work out per shot 😁 Edited October 16, 2020 by Chaz25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 My daughter and son in law live in Seattle , and he has a Beeman R9 , in .22 at 18ft/lbs (from the factory). Its a HW95 really, but at full power . Its a nice rifle , and more than enough for pests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 The air Venturi avenger, tell him to have a look at Ted's Holdover and shooter 1721 review on it. Under 400.00 dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
