mate , get a weihrauch , any will do ,or diana 34 if ya want a good springer. i bought a seriously undervalued hw80 from my LGS . this thing is a magnum in springer terms . off a rest it was shooting a group 20mm high by the width of a 22 cal pellet at 23 metres . and i ran the numbers , this one was made in 1982 and still shoots like a champ
they are heavy but , i'm thinking of getting a smaller version . weihrauchs have great triggers, same triggers on the powder burners they make
i was pretty keen on a pcp , good power and accuracy . check out youtube and fellas are knocking rabbits over out past 22lr ranges . but all the mucking around with air cylinders/supply has put me off the idea . as well as having to replace o ring seals at times . a qaulity springer with a "tune" kit works smoother and with less noise than a standard springer
bottom line , a good air rifle is cheap and quiet for plinking .$10 for 500 pellets in 177
