Hi.
I am new to these forums, but have been into shooting pellet guns for about 30 years.

I currently am in the market for a new pistol.

I am intrested in the Browning 800 Mag and the RWS P5.

For pistols, I already own a Crosman American Classic 1377(older), an old Daisy and a Crosman C02. (not sure the model)

I am intrested in a break barrel.

I do not want to spend much more than $200, but I did look at the Beeman HW70LP at the local shop.

I am intrested in all opinions. Please don't suggest a C02 or multi-pump.

I will use the gun 90% for target shooting and 10% rodents.

Any comments greatly apprecited and thanks.

RWS is usually better stuff. I don't know much about the 800 Mag... OR DO I?

Seems to be a rebatch of the Webley Typhoon. Which is made in turkey. Which isn't necessarily a good thing.

I went with the RWS.
It is a nice gun. My first RWS. (most likely not the last)
It is quite accurate.
Out of the box at 30 feet I was placing pellets ontop of the previous hole. I needed to adjust the sights a bit to the right. (2 clicks)
Here a some pics of my new pellet pistol. Cool










I'm off to target shoot.

Fine looking pistol. I'm chomping at the bit for my RWS to come into stock so I can get my hands on it.

Thanks.
It fires nice. I put over 100 pellets through it tonight.
Fun to shoot.

Like it, the beadblasted finish is pretty cool too. They do that a lot on many of their guns these days.
