Springer rifle

[nicodiemus]

Hello folks.

Looking for a cheap springer rifle as a backup for my rabbitstopper. (Yes yes, they're horrible. i love mine. )

Ideally it would be one that will accept a theoben ram. Any suggestions?

"cheap springer" and "Theoben ram" don't really go together.

I hear BSA make good springers, but Iv never fired one so I wouldnt know. The BSA meteor was a big hit back in the day so they'v got plenty of expierience with making spring rifles.

"Back in the Day"....I owned one ot these rifles and they were very good "back inthe day" indeed!

I have a cheap BSA Supersport in 177 in which you can fit a gas ram for about £50 pm me if your interested

Due to the new law regarding airguns, prices have gone up too. By a tenner in some cases !!!

I've got an air arms TX200HC I was thinking of putting up for sale on AirgunBBS if you're interested. .177, very good condition...
let me know if you're interested, could take and send some pics

Now that the mail order avenue has closed lots of shops selling 2nd hand guns are asking what they like

How much are you looking for

 

[nicodiemus]

They just made the VHS law, its actually illegal to trade or sell independently any air rifle. Bah. Where abouts do you live, if i may ask?

The VCR bill has banned the sale of air weapons via internet and mailorder, private individuals can still sell or trade air weapons.

I think what you're saying is correct, but please don't call them "weap*ns", or this'll be another website that I won't be able to access from work (along with British Blades and airg*n BBS)

I've never used my S410 as a weap*n, nor would I.

No offence meant.

sorry just the image of a TX200HC as a back up for a Rabbit stopper

Bit like haveing an Audi R8 as back up for a Austin Princess

i would recommend a second hand BSA Supersport or one of the small Webleys ie EXOCET etc

however if you want and its in your budget get the TX200

Haha. I suppose i should have pointed out i intend to use the rifle as a backup to the half brick i carry in my rabbitstopper's rifle bag.
(For hunting, half brick is more effective!)

 

[CLEM]

I'll go along with FGYT on Webley's Exocet,an absolutely blinding good budget rifle.Get a secondhand British made Exocet and you will not be disapointed!

 

[nicodiemus]

Thanks for the reccomendations, guys. Everyone i've spoken to seems to be a fan of the xocet, and it has a theoben ram available so it sounds like a good deal!

I've used pneumatic rams in match pistols before, and they're beautiful to shoot..

Hello everyone
I have got a cometa 300s, just wondering if you could buy a gas ram kit for it

 

[Westnorfolk]

I have an english webly exocet, silly name but very good and reliable, i would recommend this over most other springers. have used it on pigeons, rats and rabbits, (don't eat the rats )

my one is still bog standard and its served me well.
