I've been doing some serious looking here of late...at some pretty impressive looking rifles.These are 2 that have caught my eye...both...in .177 caliber.Due to some pretty restrictive local ordinances...and also due to my lovely wife's insistence that the majority of furry little critters residing on my property be let alone :x ...So...that has put a whole different spin on things for my air gun search....and I have had to try to figure out which way to go here.Instead of of good hunting/plinking gun...to more along a very accurate but somewhat quite target type.
I insist upon them being accurate..relatively quite..and really good looking...giving a good return on my money spent.I've been shooting centerfire rifles..and Trap shooting most of my life...and a full type stock is very appealing to me...also the ability to fully adjust the comb hight and pitch & angle of the stock allows me to have a better fit over off the shelf standard stocks...not that I need it on every rifle or shotgun I have owned...but atleast on my competition shotguns and a couple of rifles I have had...has helped me do much better..
Since having a long discussion with the better half...it looks like a .177 will suffice to do what I can do here for the occasional tree rat...or starlings that raids the bird feeders..and perhaps a chipmunk or two...these she really don't care for...but the rest are verboten[/color]
Both of these rifles cost a-lot more than what I had anticipated spending on one...and I will be trading a bolt centerfire to aquire one...I expect to spend somewhere around $500.00-$600 for just the rifle...my scope is being purchased for a Fathers day gift...
The Beeman is set up real nice for adjusments...and has been given real good reviews ...so too is the Air Arms TX200...and with the Walnut stock that is available for it...makes it one good looking rig...
Here's the Beeman..
