    Looking for a Rifle

    I was thinking about upgrading from my multi-pump air rifle to a more powerful one. I do some hunting(birds, rabbits, and other small animals) I do some target shooting probly from about 10-50 yards. I have a Remington Airmaster 77 and even at 10 pumps it wont shoot as far as id like to and its hard for me to adjust my scope becuase of the diferent power ranges. The ones I was thinking about were the:

    Gamo Shadow 1000
    Gamo CFX

    Are there any others I should be looking at?

    obvious question - what do you want to use it for ?

    Also, are you in the UK ?

    Cheers,

    Since you live in the US, I think the Beeman R9 (HW95) is hard to beat. Way better than those Gamo's .

    The yellow forum is probably a more suitable forum for you as we're talking most of the time about 12 fpe airguns on this forum.

    If you fancy a spring powered rifle then an HW80 (Beeman R1?) or HW90 (gas ram but works like a normal spring gun, don't know its Beeman designation) or a Webley Tomahawk would be good break barrel choices.

    If you prefer a fixed barrel then the HW77 or 97 and the Air Arms TX200 and RWS/Diana model 52 should be considered.

    If you want to go with a pre-charged rifle then anything from Air Arms, Daystate, Falcon etc would be worth considering.

    Regards
