Gonna get hammered for this I know but I normally shoot a webley tracker.22 which is a rock steady springer if a little heavy. but recently bought an xs 78 co2 in .177. had it tuned and modified to carry either bulk fill or 4 cartridges instead of the normal 2, 11.4ft/lb and the lot including tune and mods was still under £100. took it out today during the howling wind and sideways rain and it comfortably dispatched 2 bug upto 35 yd. would really recomend these as a very cheap alternative to pcp, it shoots really nice and is pellet on pellet at 30yd
