I'd recommend an HW95, but I guess I'm gonna recommend a Diana 34. There are some new facelifted models out too (or there were gonna be). _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 9:36 pm hickinthesticks66 Member Joined: 19 Mar 2010 Posts: 14 Location: Michigan Thanks guys!   Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 11:00 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho i repeat this over and over. i have a .22 BAM- b-26. a clone of an R-9/ HW-95. it is made in china. they run $180ish at corbair. 15 fpe and dead on accurate (once you learn the hold) all metal/ no plastic. i would buy another. it is my fav of my 5 springers. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 11:04 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho broommaster2000 wrote: Really a shame that the German Beeman/Weihrauch models are so darn expensive over there.

In my country they tend to be expensive, 50 euros on the German price. When you buy a Weihrauch, you are also often planning to put a tune-kit in it, because it will put them in match-rifle country, something that they're certainly not always out of the box. However, I can get them from Germany, which saves a lot when you've putten a good Maccari kit in them. Here's a price quick price list: HW30: $ 270 (no tunekit needed, or can be cheapely made, these are not powerhouses) HW95 $ 350 (Add $ 16 for export spring, Germany has a 7.5 joule limit on all airguns) HW90 $ 487 (Can't be ordered from Germany so add $ 50 to $ 60 for the netherlands) HW 97 $ 405 (Add 12 for export spring, add a 100 for a full power spring by maccari and 20 bucks more for all the extra lubricants which can be used for about 4 rifles) Not very big differences, you might say, but when you think about the fact that we earn a bit more money over here, you can say that it's a quite a lot cheaper over here. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 10:00 pm XD45 New Member Joined: 22 Mar 2010 Posts: 8 I'd recommend one of the Gamo rifles in .22 caliber.
