I am looking t buy a sub $200 rifle for plicking and some squirl hunting. I have been looking at the big cat and just might think about ordering one with the gas ram install, I know that is just over the $200 mark but I think I can spare the extra $30 Which rifle for under $200 is the most accurate and best buy?   Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:35 pm Jaxom Senior Member Joined: 06 Aug 2008 Posts: 927 Not sure where you're at, but I was at Dick's today and they have Benjamin Discovery's in .177 cal with pump on sale for $329. I'd jumped on the deal myself, but I want the .22 verison. _________________ .22 2300kt Crosman Custom   Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:50 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho for a springer in that range i love my .22 bam-26. 15fpe and very very good trigger. good tru-glo sights too. welcome to the forum! _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:02 am Bozo Veteran Member Joined: 29 Jun 2009 Posts: 107 Location: The remote parts of El Dorado County, CA I have a Gamo Big Cat and on the whole am satisfied with it. Accuracy is decent, although with only about 700 rounds through it I'm hoping that will still improve a bit. The bundled scope is mediocre, and will be replaced when the funds become available, but it is usable. The stock trigger is garbage, so an upgrade to a GRT III, or similar, is mandatory and is another $35 USD. Mine is the steel spring, so I can't speak to the gas ram, but I don't think I would bother with changing over. YMMV. _________________ Sheridan Blue Streak , Barska Red Dot sight, .20 Gamo Big Cat 1200, 4x32 Ruger scope, .177   Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 10:43 am bummy Member Joined: 29 Aug 2009 Posts: 18 Location: Tn. My budget just increased to $300 and I am looking hard at the Crosman NPSS I am hooked on the gas strut over a spring because I intend on using it for squirel hunting and like the idea of being able to sit with the rifle ready to fire anybody have experience with the accuracy of this rifle?   Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:43 pm Griff1950 Member Joined: 29 Apr 2009 Posts: 72 Location: Arkansas I gas rammed my Big Cat and would never go back to the spring version.   Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:18 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho bummy wrote: My budget just increased to $300 and I am looking hard at the Crosman NPSS I am hooked on the gas strut over a spring because I intend on using it for squirel hunting and like the idea of being able to sit with the rifle ready to fire anybody have experience with the accuracy of this rifle? try this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LDa3QeQT6I&feature=player_embedded -Edited: Please link to the originating source for material, not other forums not containing additional information. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 7:03 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I'd only go for an adjustable Gas Ram... _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 9:03 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand If the NPSS is half as good as the Remington Genesis.. It will be a great gun... The NPSS is a Remington Genesis fitted with a gas ram and a carbon look a like coating on the stock... Wonder how it shoots Crosman accupels..mine loves them..

Well I have the digital camo NPS in .177 cal on it's way!   Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 11:14 am bummy Member Joined: 29 Aug 2009 Posts: 18 Location: Tn. Well the big brown truck dropped off my NPSS Wednesday I haven't gotten to really give it a work out. Last night I started to zero it in and got it hitting close. It is kind of hard to do much shooting by flashlight but resting from a bench without any bags just holding by hand I was able to get 1" groups! can't wait to see what it can do when it is broke in and resting from a bag!
