Well, I stumbled across a Desert Eagle on GunStar, which happens to be around my part of the world. Managed to haggle down to £100, which seemed a fair price based on how much they go for in this and other forums. Comes with case, 2 magazine, some pellets (Uramex) and 1 CO2 (which has been used for testing and has since been spent to aid storage).

Boy is this thing loud though!

Time to find myself a scope/sight. I'm considering a reflex sight or red dot scope. Don't see a point in getting some decent as I think this is only ever good enough for plinking and very short-range target work... let me know if you have a Crossman 2240 or other similarly good pistol to sell...
