Lost Newbie

I would not stress the Pumping thing. If it is all you can do, do that. There is a sweet little Brocock .177 for sale used at AoA (I'm not advertising them trust me, but I do look at their used section often) I almost bought it myself. That gun is going for just under $400, can try your luck with a $60 China pump, it is totally doable. You can always sell it forward later and get something else when you can afford it. 
I do not have the experience these guys have on the springers, so don't take this as gospel, but: I think I prefer the HWs because I think (see comment above) that they are still made by their German parent company, ergo a quality gun. Diana, RWS, etc are being made in China (I think) Have seen some reputable guys (Tominco) shoot a Diana on video review and literally fall apart as he was shooting it. 

You are looking at the wrong gun. The one I was pointing to sold already. It included a silencer. It’s very quiet. Was under Used section. 

"Saltysteve"Oh, i misread your post. Which brocock was it?

The HWs (Weirauch) and Beeman R series are still made in Germany as are the RWS/DIANA springers. The new Diana PCPs are rebranded Chinese SnowPeak guns. Diana made a foray into the PCP world a few years back with their own German made guns, but they apparently never caught on. 

The RWS 34 is a quality made springer.

Thanks for the info John. For some reason I was under the impression that Diana was being sourced to China. Seemed to click for me as well, I have not held one, but they seem like a bit less in fit and finish in pictures and reviews. Perception sometimes is everything. 

Are you sure the RWS is still made in Germany? RWS is on the Umarex site as an Umarex brand now. I assume if they don't state country of origin, it's China these days. How can we be sure?
