I am getting a Weirauch pcp air rifle from Griffin Hawe in Kildare, I don't know what they have in stock but they might be worth a call.

Or there is sportsden in Navan http://www.sportsden.ie/guns/gun-showroom/air-rifles.html?rifle_action=331

I'm sure there is dealers in Dublin aswell but I wouldn't be too well up on them.

i just got a weihrauch hw77 breakbarrel from griffin hawe its a nice gun!

daveob007

do not go for the webley exocet,i had one and the stock cracked along the grip,fairly common with this make and not being made any more,also very twangy sound from the spring.
whatever you get you should concider getting a gas ram and use that instead of the mainspring,much quieter and smoother also,most uk dealers have them.

Do yourself a favour and buy a under lever stay away from the break barrels

bazza888

my hw77 is underlever not break barrel ijust noticed my mistake,iwent with it as they are ment to be more accurate than the breakbarrels

unfortunatly yes you do so go for one of the more powerful ones, i think bazzas one is 18ft lb

bazza888

yes you need alicense

gareth964

i dont want to start out with anything to expensive. maybe 100 to 200
how much is the weihrauch hw77?

bazza888

400e was the cost new

tonytoc11

If you keep an eye in the for sale section you'll pick one up for around €100 to €200 no problem

bazza888

the only one you would get new for 200-250 would be a gamo and they arent great!second hand is the way for you to go

gareth964

yea i will do , ive been looking at some of the air rifles on an american site there nice http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=4414558
thanks but dont think ill spend that much.

gareth964

where can you buy a gamo? i might check out a few places first and then look for a second hand one

bazza888

most rfds would have them,but they arent a great gun

gareth964

The fella I go to has Gamo in stock and wouldn't even let you buy one.

BSA, Theoben, Weirauch.... all far better machines.

bazza888

yeah thats true and the gamos are low powered,mines around 15-18ftlb

dont get hung up on power! i used to do alot of field target shooting and hunting with air rifles and most of the new comers wanted the biggest,most powerful spring gun they could get their hands on, the lads i shot with used 12ft lb precharged air rifles as did myself,,
my dad used an air arms tx 200 spring gun under lever it was 12ft lb in .177.. and for hunting it was a real good pot filler, anything out to 90 yards was in the bag

extremetaz

agreed - it's more about being able to put the lead where you need it to go.

gareth964

yea i wouldnt go for the most powerful. can someone name some shops? i'd like to have a look at some.

extremetaz

I use Aim and Swing in Mountnugent.

Huge selection there, and the main man won't point you wrong either.

gareth964
