    Cheap , you won't go wrong with a CP1 CO2 pistol .
    Reasonable money you could look at Rohm pistols , both in CO2 and PCP.
    Excellent value and accuracy .
    I picked up a nice Rohm PCP with 3 mags and single shot adapter for £200
    SMK pp700 are available for around £150, don't be worried about it being SMK.
    £300 and your choice widens .
    Things to consider ;
    Single shot or multi shot ,
    Type and size of grip
    What type of shooting are you going to use it for ? Paper punching ? Plinking ? What distance ?
    All of these things need to be considered .

    Thanks, some good options to consider, for target I am happy with a single shooter
    Haven't considered size of grip
    Distance probably 10 to 20 metres at most

    That's about the distance I'm shooting at .
    Plinking and paper targets out to 10m
    Pistol HFT out to around 20m .
    You don't need to be running at just under 6ft/lb
    My Rohm runs at around 3.5 which is more than adequate.
    Grips seem to be adjustable on many target pistols , just make sure that it feels right for you .

    Look at the Lov 21. You'll have £200 change from your budget.
    It's a single shot CO2 pistol that is accurate and powerful enough to punch clean holes
    In targets at 10M. Very accurate too.
