I do not want any kind of pump air gun as my girlfriend has a hard time with it and I don’t particularly like them anyway. CO2 guns are not what I am looking for right now.\ I have been told that a Nitro piston or gas piston is more reliable , & most importantly to me requires less maintenance I have been considering the following Benjamin Sheridan Trail NP 495 fps Webley & Scott Typhoon - Recoil Free 450 fps Hatsan Model 25 Supercharger ??? Browning Buck Mark URX 320 fps Ruger Mark I 500 fps Baikal IZH-53M - 360 FPS Can someone “please” lead me in some sort of direction as I have no idea which gun to get. Thanks Craig   Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2014 7:47 pm toadmyster223 Senior Member Joined: 20 Mar 2012 Posts: 501 Location: Fayette Nam, PA I have a Ruger Mark I. It didn't shoot worth a damn, and eventually a piece of plastic jumped off the block that holds the seal and the breach. Extreme disappointment.   Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2014 7:48 pm toadmyster223 Senior Member Joined: 20 Mar 2012 Posts: 501 Location: Fayette Nam, PA All this discussion could have been contained in one thread, by the way.   Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2014 3:18 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" toadmyster223 wrote: All this discussion could have been contained in one thread, by the way. I suspect this is another instance of someone running around, asking a million questions and then never reaching a decision (this is not the only forum where these same questions by the same person are being asked, in multiple threads). There is a point in time where too much "analysis" is a problem and a choice, any choice, should be made. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Get an underlever or breakbarrel springer that delivers something like 700 FPS and you'll have something good to start with! Wanna stay with 350 FPS? Then get a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun from WalMart.

I would suggest a Crosman 2240. easier to shoot than a springer and if you like then there are dozens of mods and tweaks that you could do to it. There will nothing or very little you can really do for those springers to improve performance and accuracy. Sorry to bring the sad news. _________________ QB57 Backyard Sweeper   Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:58 pm Case New Member Joined: 21 Nov 2014 Posts: 4 Location: Long Beach, Washington I just (a week ago) bought a .22 cal. Benjamin Regal at Big 5 for $150. It actually delivers (first time for me) the claimed speed (800 fps) and power (21 ft lbs) that the maker claims. Good power and very acceptable accuracy, But the trigger is somewhat crude. I plan on trying to put a GTR trigger in it soon to fix that problem though. _________________ So many airguns and so little time.   Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 6:06 pm Robw Veteran Member Joined: 30 Jan 2013 Posts: 441 I would suggest staying away from CO² as that is mostly for kids and is disappointing at best for an adult. _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down.

I think the original poster is talking about pistols. _________________ QB57 Backyard Sweeper   Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 6:26 pm garththomas Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jan 2012 Posts: 165 Location: Ontario, Canada Robw wrote: I would suggest staying away from CO² as that is mostly for kids and is disappointing at best for an adult.
