.22 Air Rifles

[triggerhappy]

hi

im looking for a .22 air rifle to get UNDER 100 quid. i need high power, 10ft/lbs or more will do. I dont like the B2 because of its stock, but anything else will do, as long as its got the power, is not a junior one, and will last me. I will do a lot of plinking and i want something powerful enough to tear up boards of wood and cream glass bottles, but i will also hunt rats and pigeons. i want high accuracy and good range, and i'm not too worried about recoil (i can easily handle an AK-47) and im not really that bothered about noise. any suggestions?

Hi,

 

First of all. You won´t get much gun under £100 and certainly not a new gun that can handle the things you want it to do !!!

So I am giving you a choice here either you pay more for the gun or you don´t use it for hunting / pest control. But just for ordinary plinking.

 

Second. The recoil from a spring gun can not be compared to a real rifle or a pcp airgun. The recoil will go forward and back a couple of times before the pellet leaves the barrel. This means you need to have a longer follow through time to get accuracy out of a spring gun than a real rifle. If you can´t master this you will never get good accuracy out of any springers !!!

 

Cheers - Bolta

Stone me Trigger, have you been plinking with a AK 47? :blink:

[ak47]

one word ...........Meteor!!!! its propper Bo i tell the

accurate

 

powerful /specialy for bottle bashing

 

Long lasting

 

 

 

 

Do NOY by a B2 i bort one and it fell to peices and the spring got weak fast same with my mates.i wouldnt buy a gammo gun either,

if you can push the penny's get a bsa supersport its about 140 quid and has about 11.5 ft lbs/ without a scope/

if not get a bsa Meteor its £99.95 without a scope but you can buy a cheap scope from SMK with mounts for under a tenna 4x15 get the 4x20 though for 10.99 .

 

 

other guns 2 think about

 

 

Weihrauch HW25 £110

Cometa 300 £105

 

 

 

just thought i'd add i have an old gun dont know what it is,

it has a nice stock its a bit wobbly were one of the srews has has decided not to be attache to the gun anymore the barrel has a bit of rust on it im sure it can be easly sorted out i'd scrach the rust of and put some camo tape on the barrel its a pritty old gun ive had it for about 3-4 years and i bort it second hand for £100 it has 6x40 scope and its and its powerful enough to smash bottle at -50 metres ive shot a pigeon at 60 metres with it.

 

personaly i wouldnt buy it ur better off with a meteor but im selling it for £80 and ull have to pay for p n p if you want it

[triggerhappy]

are the cometa 100 or webley sport any good? they probably would be able to tear up wood because i heard somebody managed to do that with a drozd and thats only 5ft/lbs

[ak47]

cometa arent as good a webly nor is a cometa better then a meteor

 

 

i have a co2 pistol and it sticks in wood sometimes and that only around 4 or 5ft lbs it smashes bottles and doreteos dip jars (spells*)

hi trigger,

 

dont think you will get the rifle you want in the sub £100 bracket :(

 

but you might pick one up for a little bit more second hand!

 

about £150 will get you a decent little outfit including scope, mounts bag and rifle.

 

the meteor though a nice rifle will not compare to anything you can get for the same price second hand!

 

check out the local feed ads (or wherever the big yellow paper is called in your area)

 

but look out for hw77 and air arms tx200 people bought these many years ago paid £100 and now they think they are worth less than they paid not knowing that the price of them second hand is acctually more than they paid new!!!!

 

if you see something decent in there pop a question on here shouldnt take too long to get a reply

 

hope this helps

JUST A THOUGHT!

Stone me Trigger, have you been plinking with a AK 47?

 

Go for a supersprt mnate. Accurate and hard hitting. Then get a 4x40 hawke sport hd scope, and you will have a decent combo for about £180

[Bill&Ben]

I've got a lightning, which is the model up from a supersport with a sizeable silencer for sale. I suppose I can let it go for £110 + post to introduce another person into the sport. It's certainly powerful enough for all your needs. I can even put on a laser for a bit more, then you can shoot from the hip!

 

If you're interested, PM me.

hi trigger as has been said before you wont find the rifle your loking for in this price bracket new but you shouldnt have trouble findin one this sort of price second hand.

 

i picked up a HW80 in rough condition for £100 the stock had a few scratches on it and a little beaten up, but the action was very good! using open sites can hit golf balls at 50 yards! and more than enough poke to take out rabbits at 35 yards.

 

the good hing about this rifle is you just wont care about it getting more knocks in the field!

 

i might also klnow someone selling a HW57 running about 11F/lbs its underlever with a pop up breech and scoped, last i heard they were asking for £140 including postage.

 

but if you do wan to go the new route you should have a look at the cometa range epecially the fenix have seen one at the club think it was about £140 new was under powered when bought but a quick call and parts were recieved free of charge to bring it up to full power cocking effort on it is amazingly easy for a full power rifle.

 

but the best sujestion i can give is get your but to an airgun club and try as many rifles as you can, most the time at the clubs you will find someone somewhere with a rifle to sell. not to mention all the pretty toys that they would let you play with

 

ther are pleanty of options to have a look at before parting with your cash some good some bad but checking out whats out there before he cash l;eaves your hand minght save you a bit of bother

 

hope this helps you out a little
