    the very next day, the BSA version that was like new became available for £250
    didn't have enough wonga to buy the beesa too, i felt like jumping under a bus, or sticking me head down the khazi and pulling the flush!!!!- goodbye cruel world

    Thanks chaps,
    I was rather hoping to buy a new rifle as its a bit of an event for me-hence the Gamo! I suppose I wont be buying a Turkish Webley! The choices are narrowing already! With just over £200...maybe I will have to wait longer! What about the BSAs-they are owned by Gamo?

    Got to be honest Ive never heard of it! Will try and hunt a pic down as I like the idea of a shrouded barrel! As a youngster none of my mates had anything more expensive than a supersport we all tried to save for Innovas etc but never had one!

    Good point Hsing...cant argue with the logic at all I just wanted something new! Maybe will reconsider as not many people like either Gamos or Turkish Webleys!

    Plenty of decent secondhand bargains have come up on here recently, although I'm not a great lover of German things you really can't go wrong with most rifles from Weihrauch, and even Tx's are turning up at pretty good prices as well.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Two hundred pounds would get you a really nice secondhand something or other. Gamo's are OK but they get very secondhand much faster than the more expensive guns. I'd rather have a third-hand Mercedes than a new Seat.

    And you wouldn't have to wait til the guarentee period has elapsed so that you can clean out any grease and/or swarf, and relube properly. ALL factory-issued spring-guns need this regardless of make.

    As soon as you buy a rifle and fire a few pellets through it, it becomes second-hand so its only a few moments of 'newness' to enjoy!
