BSA would be my choice. I've got one and it's outstanding.

I have a Webley victor under my bed from when I was a kid, sadly its too short now, think it was the smaller version of the Vulcan

And this Steyr LG110 is a good place to finish...

It's even got a takedown version so you can pretend... oh all right, so it will fit in a shotgun case. And a Picatinny rail.

It's a variant on the same rifle you'll see at the Olympics (the LG110 Match) along with offerings by Feinwerkbau, Walther, and Anschutz. Needless to say, you won't see a BSA at the Olympics, it would be like taking a Ford Fiesta to the Nurburgring...

I've got a Daystate Mk2 Sports Regulated.
Its got an tuned regulator for constant pressure accuracy, I get around 70 shots before needing to top up. 10rd Magazine and with a supressor its that quiet I've shot a rabbit, his mucker looks over wondering why its twitching on the deck and then the second one has followed it.
I've shot field target comps with it and its more than up to the job for accuracy. If I cant put 10rds through a 10p piece sized target at around 40m I'm doing something wrong.

Well it's correct. You do now need to be over 18 to purchase though. If you have a serious criminal record you are barred from having any firearm including an air weapon.

And you won't see a match air rifle doing anything useful like shooting dinner.

i have a air aims 200..pcp.. call 22.. very good for range of upto 40 yards.. it will go a bit more but thats on to paper targets...

i allso have a caree II 707.. 17 shot at full power.. hunting rifle .177 thats goes as far as i can see (safe).. its as heavy as thump but you pays you cash and gets on with it..

**plaster** · 22-08-2008, 07:37

the 200

I had a Falcon FN19, followed by a raptor, but my last air rifle was the Steyr LG110 FT with a drop-rail (BDC rail), Harris Bipod, PM11 scope and Anschutz spirit level.

My old Raptor with me S&B 4-16x50 Precision Hunter on it.

Loverly weapon it was too until I asked Harry Preston to muck about with it - got it up to 24ft lb, which, considering it's a .177, is pretty good. Fool that I am, it was really designed for 6ft lb match comps, with 12ft lb as a maximum, so, suffice to say, at 24ft lb, even with heavy weight pellets, it couldn't hit a barn door at 5 paces.

If you are looking for rifles from £34.00 up to £1,800, then may I shamelessly promote my good self?
