Newb in a way

The HW95 field pro on the banner at the top of the page is all you could want in a squirrel rifle. The package scope gets mixed reviews, but the rifle can be handed down to grandkids. I have an HW97 and TX200, both nice underlevers, but heavy to carry around.

hi im new also to airguns and went crazy buying pcp rifles and springers airtanks you name i would suggest trying a reputable springer or gasram break barrel to start like rws mod 34 .22 or a weihrauch hw series 80 or 95 . i love my new hw50s .177 quality is remarkable. hope this helps .

First, welcome to air-gunning, hotrod!

My humble advice to you: Start shooting. Decide on a distance from your target to sight in the guns. For rifles, I like sighting in at 50 feet. Fashion something for a steady rest. I use a camera tri-pod with a hackey-sack sitting on the shoe for increased stability. If you're like most of us, you'll go through a lot of pellets sighting in your airgun, but that's all part of the fun to me. In my opinion, this should be done with open sights if the guns have them. Save the scopes for later when you get comfortable with the trigger and firing characteristics. It took me a long time to get comfortable with the feel of firing a spring rifle. They tend to demand a little more skill to shoot, so be patient and hone your zombie trigger squeeze. The need for improvements will make themselves known as you go.

There are a lot of very smart guys on this forum who offer terrific insight and knowledge about airguns, so you're in good hands, brother!
