I guess inexpensive is a relative term. I think that my HW30 is pretty darn affordable and I really love that rifle. I’m mostly a pcp shooter so the $289 I paid for the HW30 is a real bargain.
Given the level of quality... I'd have to consider my HW50 a bargain as well. It is currently the only springer I use. I'm working to try and restore my old beeman gt600 to its former glory. And my gamo is on loan. It's a sweet shooter, too, although a bit harsh/unrefined
I can't seem to load pics it keeps asking for url. I have a 177 b26 Chinese HW95-R9 copy and a RWS 48 Chinese clone b21. Both tuned and good enough at $300 for both including tuning. Would give the Germans a good run for their money. I had a tuned $100 Chinese Winchester that would keep up with my HW30s and R7 unfortunately I sold it after being constantly bugged by a shooting buddy. Some of the Chinese guns with proper work can be made into winners. I have a freak of nature Chinese breakbarrel PISTOL somewhere around that shoots like a match pistol that looks like the Umarex Morph its so accurate it's unbelievable you would think it's German made. YO!
Purchased both of these TO5 Model 34, Panther version used off the forums, both for under $200.00 shipped
Great guns, and I much prefer the TO5 stock with the sharp checkering and the non-slip rubber recoil pad versus the TO6 with that slippery butt stock -
The 22 barrel was already chopped to 13", and has a M48 barrel sleeve installed as a shroud, the 177 is chopped to 12", has a shortened M48 sleeve combined with the old baffled RWS brake sold by Timmy Mac.
The 22 is a certified tree rat popper, shooting right at 17.5 fpe, while the 177 is around 12 fpe, but a "work in progress" -
This one is different. .22 top .177 bottom. And is not as bad as all the reviews on it. It definitely brings a smile to my face every time I shoot it. A fun gun!
I have cheep to expensive. I really like the stoeger x-20 S2. Easy to cock, really quiet and very respectably accurate. It’s a good good gun. But stay away from the 1st gen and stay with the S2. The breech lockup has been redesigned and is substantially better
