    The mk2 Rapid I have for sale in the private sales section, plus you would have 150 quid leftover to spend on whatever you like

    Lots to choose from-do you:

    Hunt
    Shoot 10m target
    Plink in the garden
    Shoot Field Target
    Shoot HFT

    I would treat myself to a second hand Daystate for hunting-an Air ranger or MK3
    Never go off half cocked....

    All lies matter

    It will be used for hunting as i only use springers for target shooting. I like the look of the bsa r10 super carbine and the daystate regal but ive been told to stay clear of the regal

    Just to be different (and being delighted with my own recent FX purchase,) how about a Streamline? Other than that, you cant really go far wrong with either an HW100 or one of the Air Arms 400 family. All pretty damned good.

    They are my most wanted at the moment.

    Obviously try mint condition 2nd hand or save a bit more for new.
