There were so many different guns around the same price range.
( btw i want my airgun to have an scope on it ).
do you guys have any advice for me as i dont really care that it shoots 10 x with reloading as it is usefull i just want an airgun that can shoot far and also do some damage not really needed but would be cool also i got an question i could choose between an
4,5 mm and an 5,5 mm ( 1.77 ) (22) whats the difference between those? as 4,5 has more m/s does that mean the 5,5 bullet is bigger and heavier?

Thx btw i have never had an airgun before i dont know what the terms mean i did search some stuff up. It doesnt really have to be an gamo airgun btw i just found it on the main page of an page selling it.

I just found out there is an gamo replay 10 magnum igt gen2 whats the difference? as it looks different as the gamo replay 10 magnum 5,5 mm i found this is it btw: ( the gamo replay 10 magnum 5,5 mm ) https://www.airgunseurope.com/gamo-replay-10-magnum-5-5mm-airgun.html[/QUOTE]

 
Forget the Gamo.

If you want the most accurate type of rifle a PCP (hi pressure air tank) would be easier to get high power that's accurate. That will need a separate hand pump and thy can be ordered from China for 50 Euros. https://www.krale.shop/en/kral-arms-puncher-pro/

If you want to keep to a simple and reliable but very accurate springer, here is one with less power, but well made. https://www.krale.shop/en/weihrauch-hw97-k/

If you want a high powered springer try this one.https://www.krale.shop/en/hatsan-mod-125-sniper/

If your going to buy a springer the HW and Diana guns are quality built guns that are definitely worth looking into. Eddie_E has a great idea and one I always mention. The inexpensive PCP is lighter, more accurate and more powerful than a springer.

Crosman makes these two and the other is an Umarex all great for the price. One of these and a cheap Chinese pump and you well on your way to the darkside.

And some parts to modify the Gauntlet.

So as i read i see i can better pick an PCP. You guys send me some different PCP air rifles. Wich one should i chose from the air rifles you send to me?

Also with some PCP air rifles you send me there are different choices: ( 1,77 ), ( 22 ) and (25 ). Wich one should i chose from those then? Also do you guys have any bullets that you guys recommend with it. 


Im sorry i ask so many questions... I just got one more question. As i would like an scope on it. do you guys also have a recommendation about the scope on the weapon you guys or i ( I havent chosen yet ) chose.



If i have an pump how do i know when its filled i tried to find some youtube video's but they al have an ( im not sure how to say this ) like an water bottle form under it.

May i also ask whats the difference between ( .25, .22, .177 ) as i can chose from those and .20 i just found out.

I am not sure how to tag you guys so you see this message let me know if you guys get an notification other wise i will respond to everyone that i send an new message



Im sorry i ask so much only answer when you have time dont rush!

Ok im just going to reply to everyone said i put an new message

 I've not ventured into PCP guns yet..... just have a hard time justifying the cost of the "support gear"....which for me would mean a full compressor, as I have medical issues that prevent the use of a handpump.

So, my input for a "gas piston"....which is a single shot, break barrel design..... is the SIG ASP20

I've strongly considered buying a WK97, but after shooting/using one from a friend, I can't justify the price..... I got more gun for the money with the Sig.

Welcome! Do you want to carry the rifle or sit at a bench? Do you like to shoot off hand? This helps determine how heavy of a gun you can tolerate/desire. Pumping a PCP isn't like pumping a bicycle tire. It's more like doing pushups standing up. A lot of them! It's a workout. Topping off a PCP by hand nearly lifts my feet off the ground. I'm trim! If you want high power that workout will get you 50 shots or less. The unit of power we use to describe airgun energy here and in UK is foot pounds.. Find some local airgunners, try their guns. And stay in contact here.

Many people new to airguns become obsessed with power (I have been there) and more power is not always needed. For shooting in the backyard you might not need too much power. For spring guns, the more power the heavier the gun will be. Also, the more power in spring guns results in higher effort to cock and more destructive on scopes. For the very high power spring guns a good quality scope (more $$) is needed if you expect it to last. In your price range I would look at the HW30s, the HW50s, or the HW95. 4.5mm pellets are smaller and get higher velocity with a little less power than 5.5mm. For the three guns I mentioned I would go with 4.5mm for the HW30s or the HW50s and either pellet size for the HW95. The HW97 that others have mentioned is about the same power as the HW95 but it is a heavier gun because it is a different design. The extra weight makes it a little more steady to shoot, but then it is not as fun to carry around.
