    Oh just one thing if you could post what you bought then it would help. The idea of this poll was to see what people bought first time around and to see if this was the target audience for Chinese rifles.

    Oh I bought a B4 underlever pile of dog dirt!

    Like I say, my first was the HW99.

    But.

    A mate of mine bought a B2 as his first gun from a place in york. asked me to come and help him zero it (he had a hawke 4x40 scope) because he couldn't hit a thing.

    Guess what? Neither could I! Took the scope off to use the iron sights and still no joy. We couldn't work out what was wrong until I had a good look at the barrel and laid it flat on a table - it was actually bent by a few degrees in the middle!

    Piece of S#!£$

    First airgun I bought, not the first I'd owned, was a second hand Theoben Sirrocco Grand Prix. I recently bought the exact same rifle back after selling it on about five years ago.

    I swapped a Mexican Fender Telecaster for my HW98 in an aladdins cave sort of place and it hurt. But you live and learn





    Anyone got a Tele that they wanna swap for a HW98?
