I am very familiar with air pistols and rifles however not really in this range. A good friend wants to try a pellet rifle. Here is the criteria:
1 price $150-275
2 good OPEN sights!! , he does not want a scope. peep sights?
3 use: backyard plinking 10-30 yards?? maybe 40.
4 lets say 1 inch at 30+yards for accuracy ie my point is he will probably be shooting cans maybe 1 inch spinners not 10m Olympic competition if that makes sense.
5 simple, reliable, ease of use and high enough quality that he wont tire of it. and I will enjoy shooting it.
6 not co2 and I dont think a pump would work ie he wont want to pump it 10 times to shoot each pellet.
7 Adult size
What rifle would you suggest, which pellets to start with, where to puchase.?? I will pass this along to him. Thanks for your help!!!
