just getting back into air rifles and decided to buy my self a cheap springer , just for plinking at the club range and back garden.
so thinking Chinese , Hatsan , Remington .... Or how about the Webley VMX .
now I know most of you will say , spend a bit more and get a second hand HW , but alas £200 -ish is my budget , plus already owned a 95 , 80 , 85 , 77 and 97 and a venom vantage 80 so know how good they are..
This time I just want cheap and cheerful , some thing I can maybe tune or improve my self .
Any suggestions
thanks

Interesting thanks ..
I read the Remington is Chinese lol , Hatsan think is Turkish , VMX don't know.
I like the look of the VMX , looks a bit like the stingray, seen it for £179 in black with the full length barrel moderator
I think you will find these are a Hatsan Striker with a few minor differences.
If I was looking a cheapish springer then it would be a Hatsan Mod60s, which is .22. The .177 version being a Mod55s. Both have excellent triggers, and Turkish Walnut stocks.
HuMa regulated S200 .22...
Artemis PP800 .177...
Weihrauch HW45 .177
same as i found from other forums .
I 'm a Hatsan addict!! I enjoy reading about your excitement waiting for your Hatsans and starting to shoot them! I have a Hatsan m95 in .177. It was tuned by our local Hatsan guru, MZE[Vincent] as follows: Barrel shortened to 250mm, silenced[legal in the RSA], spring shortened to give 850 fps[8,4 JSB] and the Hatsan is a dream!! Welcome to the club!
But I bought another Hatsan, the Webley Value Max in 5mm/.20! This Webley is actually the Hatsan Striker with a 5mm barrel! She doesn't have the SAS or Quttro trigger, drives a 12 gr pellet at just under 800 fps and after 1000 JSB's I am sold on her! The Webley 5mm will become my No. 1 hunter! I am still deciding on what MZE will have to fine tune the Webley/Striker, but as is she is an accurate and lovely hunter!! ;D

CONCLUSION
If the truth be told, this Striker 1000S bears more than a passing resemblance to the equally impressive Webley ValueMax, sharing as it does, a few key components.

hi,avoid the vmx at all cost,how a gun of such low quality could be associated with the name Webley beats me.a truly dreadful item.i had one and the spring appeared to have been cut from a long length,it had been cut with a dropsaw and just fitted,ie swarf and sharp edges,the plastic stock cracked asap and after that i gave it to a pal for ratting,a real piece of shot.
There crap very harsh n brake the main spring overstressed to get the power up,get a hw99
