A Rohm is within your price range. I have a twinmaster top and find it accurate, consistent. They are essentially target pistols but can be used for plinking. Have a multishot or single shot facility. What are you intending to use yours for?

Hi Gary, if your just can killing then you have a wide choice really, HW45, HW40, Beeman P3, any of the good old Umarex Co2 Range are fun for rapid fire, are good all rounder is the Gamo Compact. If you look at the for sale section and don't impulse buy you should be able to pick these up under £100.

yeah the hw45 will rip them apart :)

why buy a mk4st if you are new to the hobby when there are rifle combo's at £300 less that will do just as well.

A Umarex Smith & Wesson 6" will make your cans dance and put a grin on your face! Good trigger and pretty accurate for a replica. Feels good too!

I want to buy the best rifle I can afford I don't want to by a cheaper model then later on spending more money to upgrade

there are pcp's that are far more accurate than you ever could be without spending £800-900.

bengarzy does a brilliant custom version of the s400 and just as accurate as the daystate.

Can't go wrong with the S400, you can get a combo for less than half the price of the daystate. :eek:

dont go and purchase one of the replica type Umarex pistols if you want to rip cans open with it. They are good for ripping tissue and grapes and might even burst a balloon on a good day with the wind behind it;).

How did I guess that was coming............:D:D

A bit of pistol advice, dont go and purchase one of the replica type Umarex pistols if you want to rip cans open with it. They are good for ripping tissue and grapes and might even burst a balloon on a good day with the wind behind it;). You want a nice HW45, or co2 Crosman 2240. Nearly full maximum power and can blow a tin cans head clean off.:D

Ok Andy back in your box, now there's a good boy :D
