New gun for gf suggestions

[smellslikepeople]

I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on a gas ram gun for my gf. She is small and I'm looking but there isn't a lot of options. I want something that isn't super hold sensitive and preferably with open sights so she can learn that before moving up to a scope. Tia

CZ634 or a Diana 240.

What's your budget?
I asked a similar question on a break barrel for my Grand daughter...
 There were a lot of great suggestions if you want to search out that thread.
 I have pretty much settled on a Xisico XS-12 from Flying Dragon. While not a gas ram a Mike M. tuned springer should be silky smooth.

  I do not know of any low to medium power gas ram rifles.  I have and really like the Diana 240. The only problem with it is using the iron sights. Myself and others find that there is not enough drop in the stock for their use.
   I have a HW30 and that is my first choice.
   Any tuned gun from Mike Melick is well worth considering.  You can call or email him direct. Check his page.  Flyingdragonairrifles.org

What kind of budget, is weight an issue, what caliber? You said gas ram so that cuts the field quite a bit...Crosman, Benjamin, Hatsan, some of the Norica GRS rifles you'll find on Amazon, Diana has the N-Tec rifles. Most have open sights although there are a few that don't. All of them will be anywhere from 35 to 45 pounds worth of cocking effort if that's going to make a difference.

More info would be a big help

 This is a good option on the lower end of the price range https://www.pyramydair.com/product/benjamin-titan-gp-nitro-piston-air-rifle?m=2603
 One may find even better deals out there but it is a good starting point.

Cody,

A full tuned XS-12 would be a good option.  Even better would be a tuned HW30 from Pyramyd Air by Mike.  He has some affiliation with Pyramyd Air and can give you a tuned rifle for the Pyramyd Air price.  He used to have that option listed in his blog but I couldn't find it to link for you.  Here is his website and his contact information is at the bottom of the page.

Give him a call weekdays before 11am.

Thanks,

Taso

I want to keep it around 100 or 150 tops mainly because I don't know if it will catch on with her. The Diana 240 looks like a great option but like is a stand up guy to so I'm open to all options. I just want it to be a smooth learning curve so want it to shoot good without too much work

[farrlarr]

Why does it have to be a gas ram?  There are other options that will meet your needs.  And why your needs?  After all she is going to be the one shooting it, so the real question is what are her needs/wants?  A multi-pump, CO2 or PCP may be much better for her.  Given all that, do not choose a gun for her; let her make her own choice with your suggestions and input but not your final decision.

Another suggestion for $120 would be a CMP refurbished Daisy 853.  It is a used club gun so it will have markings and wear.  It would be a perfect canvas for her to make it her own.  It's a single stroke pneumatic, 10 meter target rifle with match sights and a Lothar Walther barrel.

It would be easy to cock and very accurate.  It was designed for smaller statured shooters and low power for punching holes in targets.

It's a lot of gun for $120.

Forget the gas ram and get and R7 or HW30.

[Back_Roads]

 While at the range my slightly modded Maximus Hunter does draw the gals away from their B/F's AR's

Forget the gas ram and get and R7 or HW30.

If I had to do it again, I would have left my Trail NP2 at the store and given this route a try.

We've all been there Paulus so don't feel bad.  It's a right of passage!

I was going to suggest the same, but it didn’t fit his criteria. It’s a great gun in its own right. And a great gun for beginners as well.

I couldn't think of any low powered gas rams.  Just that the XS12 and HW30 spring guns were easy to cock.  Then the 853 popped into my head because if the OP's price range.  I suggested it since it hadn't come up yet and maybe it would trigger any other candidates!

I would get her a co2 rifle like a qb 78 or a Crosman 2260, especially since she is small.

I was thinking about co2 also. I seen ^&$@_=s has some good options and has the gold service. I also thought about crosman custom build on their website and making a pistol into a carbine. I have zero experience with co2 but it's on the table also

[Taso1000]

The XS-60C at Flying Dragon for $125 is a good co2 option also!
