    Thumbs up Which to choose out of these 3?

    Hi guys,
    just wondering if you could help me a little.
    I have the choice of 3 second hand guns, i am on a pretty tight budget as i am a student, so any help in choosing the right one would be appreciated!

    1. Theoben Olympus .22, Gas-Ram, Thumbhole Stock, Vortev evolution silencer, Tasco 6-24x50 Range Finder/Illuminated reticlue scope, Swing and swivels and also a case..£270

    2. Air Arms Tx200 .22, Tasco 3-9x40 Scope and case..£200

    3. BSA Ultra .177, Silencer and 3-9x40 Scope..£200

    Im not sure about the precharged becuse il have to buy a pump which is going to set me back a bit more.
    The air arms looks a nice deal but so does the Theoben with all the bits.

    What would you guys do/
    Many thanks

    Go to a local club, try them all out to see which suits you best, fill in your user profile, then buy the TX200

    If you want a good quality accurate no fuss rifle then get the Tx200 if you want the bling factor get the Theoben.

    I'd go for the theoben better scope, silencer, no need for a pump which seem to average £70-£80 quid on here, and £250 theoben have just as good a rep as the air arms guns.
    As far as I can tell this is a gas ram with a similar style stock to the tx200?

    How old is it and is the ram in good nick?

    id go for the one that feels best in your shoulder and you can shoot straight with id be VERY suspicious of any s/h rifle i cant try before i buy.

    Id be drawn to the rammer tho

    The Theobens are nice guns but the trigger isn't a patch on the CD unit used on the TX200.
