    a newbie in exeter

    Hello all

    I recently spend a day with a friend going around gunshops in exeter looking at air rifles and now seem unable to stop dreaming about starting shooting. its all too easy to dream of some of the expensive models and i wonder if anyone has any good sugestions or recomendations.

    it seems the guns i loved the most were the airarms s510 and the Weihrauch HW100. unfortunatly my budget doesnt seem to streach that far as i only have a max of £500 to play with. so i supose in after any alternatives or recomendations on places to find secondhand models. gunshops still seem to be very expensive even for secondhand guns.

    many thanks

    Pete

    Hi pete,
    have a look in the ad-trader free ad's, they still allow airguns in the hunting & fishing section, I picked up an FX veminator & scope for £425 fairly recently.
