New rifle reccomendation please

[jstewart_1981]

Ok today I have decided I'm sending my gamo back to
Wally World and going to purchase a better quality air rifle.  I shot it for a bit today and the best group I could shoot at 25 yards was the size of a baseball.  Still utilizing the artilery hold on a sandbag.  I'm not looking to spend a grand.  I would like to get a bare gun 300-400 range break down style rifle. Is this possible to do and have an accurate gun?  I have an older crosman breakdown I sighted in today and it shot cloverleaf groups at 25 yards:  This assured me I was doing something halfway right.  Suggestions would be greatly appreciated guys and gals.  Thanks and have a good evening

Best deal going right now is the HW95 from http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/  for 299.00. This was also know as a Beeman R9

Also a Walther Terrus for around 189.00 -250.00 Airgun Depot, Pyramyd Air and Amazon 

RWS M34 for 200-250 Grab-a-gun

Seen an Umarex 460 magnum (underlever)for around 341.00 http://grabagun.com/umarex-usa-460-magnum-hdwd-22-pellet.html

All German made rifles.

Just to name a few in or under that price range.

I would stick with German  made guns in that price range.

When I'm spending other people's money, I always like to suggest the Hammerli 850. It's CO2, not a break barrel. But it is well known for accuracy, and decent enough power. Has an 8 round clip, and I'd buy two or four extras just so I could load up 30 or 40 shots at a time. I think it gets about 200 shots per 88g cylinder. Oh, and it comes with the highly regarded Walther barrel.
With a half decent scope, the extra magazines, and a half dozen co2's, should be just inside your price rage with a little investigative shopping.

Add $50 and you have this.
Not a break barrel but a side lever.

Or get it at Amazon for 284.00


Personally I would go with the 460 if I wanted a magnum German springer.

I been online looking at guns to much this past week.  I seen a deal on this one somewhere.

[redcobra04]

I own a rws 34 and 3 rws 48s. Two HW 95s. The Hw is a great deal for the price. Dont think you would go wrong with that choice.

[Booger]

Check the classifieds here. You just might find something nice at a discounted price in your range. Besides if you do decide to resell it you will not lose as much money.

Based on this:
List Price:    $801.48
Price:    $283.48 & FREE Shipping. Details
You Save:    $518.00 (65%)

It sounds like a scam.
They have never been anywhere near $800

yeah, I might have added wrong. I've seen them new from about $250 to $275. The magazines might be a little more expensive than I think, but they shouldn't cost more than five or ten bucks for what amount of material is in them.
I would definitely buy one if I had more time to shoot it.

Umm, it's Amazon.. No scam.  You won't see list price normally because nobody sells them for full list price.

I believe the Umarex boxed RWS 48 has less warranty. Same gun though.

OK, you probably know better than I do.
Then it's a great deal indeed.

It's a great time to be getting into airguns.  Lots of German made air rifles under 350.00. Some that where well over 450.00 not to long ago.

I'd hate to spend four hundred and fifty bucks for a shiny gun with a bent barrel.

I think there is a joke here I'm missing. What shinny gun with a bent barrel would that be?

+1

[SteveP-52]

I'm gonna add a +1 for the HW95 at Airguns of Arizona....get one before they go back to over $400, they're a definite steal at $299.95.

+1, side levers are fun!

Weihrauch HW 50 S is nice:



So is the Cometa Fenix 400 Premier:

[jstewart_1981]

The umarex 460 mag, is that the same guns as the RWS 460?  They look identical. As of now this is the gun I am contemplating. 

[jus Tom]

Same gun. Umarex is the stateside distributor for Diana/RWS.  They tend to get a bad rap as far as warranty backing by many here and other sites....but there likely be as many that have good service reports?
I had one such "semi-good" experience when I got my 460.  The cocking lug pin broke within the first 100 firings. Made the phone call to Umarex, they sent me a paid shipping label and I had the gun fixed and back in little over a week.
My only complaint,,, in my speaking with the service rep, I made it clear that the gun "detonated" upon the pin breakage and I wondered if there may be internal damage? The rep assured me it would be checked out. Upon getting the gun back and re-shooting it seemed to be not as powerful and more erratic accuracy.........the pin got replaced but the breech seal was also damaged and NOT replaced....likely never "checked out".    I did the remaining repairs myself and the gun now shoots quite accurate out to the 50yds or so that I've tested it to.
