BB guns

[KydLynx]

Just looking for tips on a BB gun. I've never owned one, but want to get one for some target practice.

I do know I want a rifle a with a scope. .177 caliber. pellet or bb

Don't know what brand to buy and if it should be air or spring.

Also the pros/cons of single shot or repeater.

I am looking for something around $200 or less.

Something with great accuracy and speed.

Thanks!

I would go with a Benjamin if I was going to buy an air rifle.

Benjamin Silver Streak

It is a .20 caliber though. They used to make a .177, not sure if they still do.


The legacy is not bad either, and is a .177 caliber rifle.

Powerful accurate pellet gun IMO. I have one on a very long loan from my brother in law.

I'm a fan of RWS rifles. Incredibly well built, and deadly accurate.

I've put thousands of rounds through an RWS .22 caliber.

Get something with a clip or at least some sort of reserve. I bought a single shot and it kinda sucks to have to reload it every time you wanna fire.

How the hell did the thing catch on fire is what I'm wondering about, was it a TV?

It was obviously a TV that was plugged in.

Or the flyback capacitor had a hefty charge in it.

That's what I'm thinking.

i only ever used to have Daisy pump BB rifles. It had a bb reservoir or you could load pellets in 1 at a time.

i owned 1 BB pistol and 1 pellet pistol - both C02 cartridge based. unless you don't mind spending money on the CO2 cartridges, get a pump. The BB pistol had a reservoir and you had to cock it each shot. the pellet pistol looked like a semit-auto pistol but it had a 6 shot (i think) cyclinder that you inserted into the gun.

It's been a long time since I used any BB gun but the cartridges were not cheap and they didn't last long.

I have a benjamin. Had one that was my dads when I was a kid and got one to pass down to my kids. Great rifles that last a lifetime.

I've got a Powerline 880 and a Powerline 1000. The 880 is accurate as hell, but the 1000.... Let's say I love what hollow points do to pests

I had that one. loaned it to my wife's brother a few years ago and have yet to get it back hehe.


butyou are right. very accurate and powerfull. its great for small game hunting also.

I'd recommend an Air Arms Pro Elite or a Beeman RX-2 or Beeman R-9. If those are too expensive, then the Chinese knock-offs are not too bad.

An official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time

Same here.

My Benjamin .177 is 20 years old, and still shoots like brand new.

All they need is proper maintenance, and also never over pump.

thanks for all the advice.

Does the benjamin have the ability to accept a scope?
