Looking for a quiet back garden plinker. Have had PCP, spring etc, don't mind either.
Anything I should look at that's accurate and quiet? Was thinking HW75?
Thanks
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Does .177 or .22 make much difference re noise? Was thinking .22 needs less air etc.
As for targets, have knocked up a box with plumbers mate behind the target which catches the pellet silently.
How about an HW70? A "Proper" air pistol.
Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
Spring for garden shooting. CO2 and SSP all have a fairly intrusive and obvious signature.
I'd recommend a Tempest or an HW45, both in .22 if keeping things below 15m.
Some of the co2 type guns can be a little noisy
A Webley Alecto is reasonable second hand. Depending on your neighbours worries about noise, as it makes a good crack on 3 pumps. I went for one to avoid c02 costs, and I can hit spent shotgun shells from across the garden on a good day. You can always get a later one with a threaded barrel for a silencer if noise is an issue.
