A friend of mine wishes to check out adult air-gunning and has $250 to
spend. What would be a dependable, accurate airgun for that kind of money
could he get?

I got a Titan GP at walmart for 150 dollars, and have been extremely satisfied by it.

I do not think that he wants to fight the piston recoil of a break barrel.

He has had a Chinese springer for a few years now and is dissatisfied.
It made him loose interest in the sport. Until he heard me out in my yard
shooting the 1377, came over to see what I was doing and eventually
shot the Condor. That is all that it took. He is now interested
in air gunning now with a new fever and wants an airgun with that kind of
recoil experience and accuracy.

He shot the 1377 with the stock barrel and after I put the LW barrel
on it and could hardly believe the difference. He would like to get the
Hammerli and put an LW barrel on it.
