    Rifle recommendations

    Anyone recommend a rifle? I’m fairly fussy when it comes to them , il leave my “criteria” below,


    Must be break barrel
    Ideally spring
    Caliber .22
    Wooden stock(beach or walnut)
    Ideally a intergrated silencer if not must be threaded for one
    No silly warning signs/stamps(would have had a Weihrauch if it wasn’t for the warning stamp ☹️)
    Budget for the rifle is Around the £400 mark, Ideally want to buy brand new, I’ve tried looking and can’t seem to find much that matches my needs, thanks in advance fellas

    Thanks for the welcome
    I love the 95, shot it at my local range a few times, really good rifle, the stamping would just grind me down, if it wasn’t for the stamping would have snapped one up instantly

    HEALTH AND SAFETY is for modern Numpties, old Numpties it seems had common sense over their modern counterparts My 2008 HW80 has warning... Good job too as it saved me twanging myself My 1991 HW85 hasn't and old 80 never had the stamping on it.

    In that case, buy an HW95 and a rectangular sticker to go over the 'Achtung' stamps.

    A Union Jack sticker? Or a Venom one? Welsh Dragon?

    Burmingham Webley are great, had Stingrays also couple trackers in the past and last 8 years a Brumbow. Well worth the concideration.

    Older HW 85, 95, 80

    Diana 34 Compact

    Comets Fenix 400 plus lots of custom work for 400 quid !!

    Webley Longbow which would probably be well tuned for 400 quid and a good buy if off one of the known ‘non bodgers’
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

    I was looking at the longbows, they look great, haven’t shot one before tho, can only find ones that are a bit beaten up tho, best one I found was for £250 and had a couple of dings in the wood

    As long as barrel not bent , they are solid
    Some spares may be more tricky being long discontinued -

    All of the rifles listed shoot as accurately as one another, Cometa too

    I have less faith in some new 22 hw barrels than ones from over 5 years ago but not a prob with a break barrel as easy to change anyway -

    I’d pick up an old unbollocked about with 95 or 80 myself -
