Advice sort by poll

[Rickenbacker]

Big Dave - I can't begin to tell you what to buy.
I assume you must be unsure over spring / pcp, or you wouldn't be asking...
You really need to try to have a few shot with guns you fancy at the club.
A lot of shooters don't mind (if they're not in a rush), particularly if you express an interest in buying one.
I think you need to develop your own opinion about weight, stock design, trigger, price, cocking / loading procedure, trigger, firing cycle, trigger, etc etc... probably not in that order!
And similarly with scope choice!
Your poll will only tell you what other people like mate.

Thank you all for the advice.

I have plumped for a HW97 in .177.

Now to master it.

You can't go far wrong with a 97 Dave,did you sort a mildot scope out in the end?
beware the man with one gun

A good tip would be to mark your stock bolts with a little tipex just until you find out if its one
that moves or not that's assuming its not the synthetic stock.

The man with one gun is fabled to be a tough opponent... while others bring out and flirt with a different gun each weekend, the one gun man knows his gun intimately. He becomes at one with it... like the old boy who brings his battered old side by side to his first ever clay shoot - and wins

I fully agree, get your kit and stick with it... I only have one gun and it's the one i've had from the day i started!

Good choice on the HW97, accurate solid rifle.
