Hi guys,
I’m new to the scene and can’t wait to purchase my first air rifle, just want a few opinions first if you would be so kind.
I was originally just going to purchase the Remington express (.22) which a friend of mine owns.
I came across the Crosman Phantom Mk2 (.22) – http://www.gunmart.net/gun_review/crosman_phantom
Then the Beeman 1084 Carnivore (.22) – http://www.gunmart.net/gun_review/beeman_1084_carnivoreThe gun will mainly be used to shoot small quarry and with enough target shooting to hone my skills.
I just want something that is of decent build quality that shoots accurate (probably what everyone here wants).So out of these two.. Well, three. Which should i buy? Would they be suitable? Is there a obvious better option that you can think of within (near) my price range.I did look at purchasing a BSA Lightning SE (.22) or even a Weihrauch HW95k (.22) but these are over my ideal budget for a first gun and have since decided against it.
I can always get something higher-end in a year or so if i am still keen. Will I end up regretting this decision..?Thanks for any help/advice, all the best.Sly (UK)
