After seeing these on a German site I have decided I would like a bolt action fairground gun.
What are the particular attributes and foibles with each and how much should I expect to pay for one?
Many thanks

Pros: If you hit anything you win a prize.
Cons: All the prizes are unfashionable, like a Telly Tubby, or a Womble.
Ho ho. Tremendous. I won a stuffed turd kind of toy in the summer with a 275! My daughter has strange ideas. Seriously, these are great fun guns. They are obviously extremely robust and I've found the Anschutz very accurate for a ball firer. The Haenel 310 is the ball firer and I have not used one. I do have the 311 with the same action and it is excellent. The H & N 4.4mm copper coated balls work well in the Anschutz.
I've seen a few 275s around the 200-250 quid mark recently. Have not seen a Haenel 310 for sale.
There is also the Diana / Original model 30 to consider. Have never seen one in the flesh but they look more substantial looking gun than either of the above. Rare, though.
I have several 310s and they are surprisingly accurate at up to 15 yards. Great fun too. I bought my last one fron Germany at a little over £200. And that included an original cover, cleaning rod, targets and a cleaning kit. Well recommended.

The 275 seemed to have a totally fixed rear sight, but I liked the extra detail around the magazine slot.
The 310 has a plain magazine slot, but adjustable rear sight, and mine came with a sling which sets it off for me. I think my 310 also has the uprated spring, I wouldn't bother with replacing the standard spring with this, as it takes away the fun element ever so slightly with the higher cocking effort.
Thanks - Geoff.
Thanks all, its purely for fun so uprating rings is not my scene!
Are there any places in the south that sell them? I'm travelling from Cornwall to essex/Suffolk/kent and back next week and would love to have a closer look.

Can you still buy airguns from Germany direct or would you have to use a dealer. I am looking for a Walther LGR match rifle or a FWB 300, more likely to find one there.
