Hi everyone, I know the forum has plenty of people asking similar questions that have multiple answers, but my theory is that the answers might be different depending on the situation. So here we go again. I am new to the world of air guns, used an air pistol a few times when I was about 12 and had a BB hand gun since I was 16. Almost 40 now. 😑
I tried archery but my aim is terrible, I have to aim almost 2 foot off target to hear near center. So my grand plan is to try air rifle. I want to gain as much info as I can before plunging into buying hence my post.
I am about 6' 2" round (very round) 18 stone and want to shoot preferably standing, but I see most videos have people laid down or sat/crouched using some gun grip. Is standing not viable?
The 3 rifles I have seen and keep looking at is the hw95k, Remington Express and SMK xs38, thoughts please?
I would like a mounted scope as I think this will be the key to my aiming issues, for backyard plinking max 50 yards what scope should I consider?
Apart from a variety of pellets what other equipment should I consider in the early days if any?
Would prefer to keep cost under £200 for setup but it's not a fixed budget, but I think spring rifle is a good starting point before any co2 or other rifles are considered.
Thanks for reading and any feedback.
