Why not from China ? my Chinese break barrels are pretty darn good

gosse_78 · « **Reply #2 on:** May 03, 2011, 08:23:27 PM »

there are many good brands.benji,rws,beeman,air arms,but DO NOT exclude the china guns. they have came a looooong way. i have found that china guns are actually pretty good because they can afford to build things out of metal and wood. give mike at best airgun a ring. http://bestairgun.stores.yahoo.net/ his guns are very very good remakes of many top end brands stated above. another plus is that there are ample parts available. he also lube tunes them!!!!! for free!!!! ...just my 2 cents...

Titan .22 as well.

And I dig my Storm xt.177

I will say this. with the crosman chinese stuff. You need to disasemble, clean and de-bur the gun, and relube it. Other wise you will end up with a bad seal and lost power in the 1st 500 pellets, then it's off to the repair shop. and you have to buy the GRTIII trigger, but it's only $32 and is amazingly different than the stock trigger.

What calibre? .22, .177? Do you plan to hunt with it or just target shooting? How far out do you think you will be shooting it? Are you looking at a rifle with wood or synthetic stock? Open sights?

dpricenator · « **Reply #10 on:** May 03, 2011, 09:24:19 PM »

yeah and in hindsight, I should have bought a better, more expensive gun, instead of a cheap gun with a ton of work needed.

Really!? I was considering a Titan, people seem to like them. 500rds and they're junk? Really? "dang", back to the drawing board.

Over 500 rounds thru my TITAN and no problems..... Mike

I agree with goose_78... Mike Melick does some excellent work. I bought a b-12 from him a few weeks ago and its great.

From my experience with china guns, theyre great and it's probably the way many of us got started.

Having said that i have a rws 34 and a rws/850 and theyre awesome.

The 850 is the most accurate AG I have right now

thekid · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2011, 11:30:55 PM »

The RWS line of AGs gets my vote.
I have the 34s .177 + .22 as well as the 350 mag .177, the 34s are very accurate right out of the box and a good trigger. The 350 was a mule, did the very best tune I could possibly do, to all three along with trigger work, they are incredible.Rob

If you want something different try an IZH 513M in .22!! Its an awesome shooter. Maybe the lightest AG you'll hold and probably one of the most accurate. It's not pretty, it's clanky with the bear trap, and it has a cold war feel, but if you want an AG with attitude this is it. It's amazing how accurate it is with open sights!

IZH is a Russian military manufacturer. This AG reflects that.

isinclair616 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 04, 2011, 05:41:59 PM »

I think I am going to try rws thank you all for the information. You really proved me wrong about the Chinese guns too! THANKS.

You wont be dissapointed with an rws gun. I love my 3 dont shoot most omy ohers anymore because they are that nice. But i have learned alot from working on my chinese rifles. They shoot pretty good for $30 guns and if it gets messed up in a project its not as big of a deal.

Going to be hit and miss. they need to be de-burred, cleaned and lubed proberly. My buddies titan and my storm ZXT were both at half power after 2 tins of 250. Deisleing burned the seal and burrs most likely cut and nicked it. Off for a tune and it'll be awesome. In hindsight, buy a better gun that is ready to go Right off the truck.
