I would like it to be <$150, with a scope yet I would like it to have the option to shoot with the irons if need be, 1000fps. Thanks.   Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 12:24 am donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area If you want information that would actually be of use to you then you need to give a little more information. Like what you want to do with the gun? Pistol or rifle? Where you are as that can effect the power of the gun you can have? Your size can also effect the gun you want as some small ladies like my wife have trouble with some of the larger rifles so she prefers smaller and lighter rifles.   Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 2:24 pm smrtprts New Member Joined: 28 Jul 2011 Posts: 5 Location: So Cal donec wrote: If you want information that would actually be of use to you then you need to give a little more information.

Built in front and rear sight. Plinking and small game hunting. I am in California. Size does not matter, I have been looking at x10's and phantoms. I am not sure if crosman is worth avoiding or not. Consider a X20   Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 7:59 pm Dukemeister Member Joined: 08 Feb 2010 Posts: 92 Location: Ontario, Canada The Stoeger X2 with 3-9x40 AO scope package is within your budget. It`s basically the same action as a Phantom, but in fine furniture and with decent scope and rings. Very good value, and a good shooter for hunting plinking...consider .22 for hunting. _________________ Duke ))))----//----------== Re: Consider a X20   Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:24 am smrtprts New Member Joined: 28 Jul 2011 Posts: 5 Location: So Cal Dukemeister wrote: The Stoeger X2 with 3-9x40 AO scope package is within your budget.

Did you mean the x20? Lowest price I found it for was $170. Is that the lowest you know of? Would it be better value to pick this up? http://www.airgundepot.com/crosman-phantom-1000x-air-rifle-177-4x32-scope-remanufactured.html $80 seems like a good deal. Or a game big cat? Edit: nevermind I just noticed the big cat has no front and rear sights http://www.cabelas.com/product/Gamo174-Refurbished-Big-Cat-Air-Rifle-Combo/1137935.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dgamo%2Bbig%2Bcat%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=gamo+big+cat&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products or http://www.cabelas.com/product/Gamo174-Refurbished-Big-Cat-1200-Air-Rifle-Combo/1137936.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dgamo%2Bbig%2Bcat%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=gamo+big+cat&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products X20   Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:27 am Dukemeister Member Joined: 08 Feb 2010 Posts: 92 Location: Ontario, Canada That is an excellent price for a Phantom. Grab it while you can. Otherwise, the X20 can be had arround your budget, and IMO is worth the extra $ considering the fine furniture and the better scope, check Archers for sale prices.[/img] _________________ Duke ))))----//----------== Which gun?     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
