So far I am considering a Hw 30. Anything else I should look for? Or should I spend the extra money and get a hw 97 or AAtx200?
What would you consider best springer under $300

gamo makes a fixed barrel under lever....cant remember the name. My dad has one and it is pretty accurate. I have a TX200 in .22 Ive been thinking about selling. It has a vortek spring kit in it and is accurate. It got me into airguns about 5 months ago. I have recently gotten my first pcp and just dont shoot it anymore.

go to http://www.krale-schietsport.nl/en/ the euro is hovering around .90 to the dollar. They have great prices on hw springers and ship to america.

I picked up a gun there .. Krale is very easy to deal with . I used credit card but you can also do bank transfer . Be sure and look carefully as some of the guns come in sub12 ftlbs. And some have a higher export ( American) power rating . Check special section at AoA , they have some nice deals also . The HW rifles are really hard to beat .

For target shooting and accurate plinking I don't think there is any thing on
the market better than the HW30. Well made, easy to cock, and a very
nice trigger. You can not beat it for a family oriented rifle in the $300 range.
I've found them at AOA just like new for as little as $200.
I guess I'm the opposite of Marksmen. Since I got my 3 HW30s I hardly
shoot my pcp's any more. For some reason shooting a perfect score with
the HW30 is just alot more rewarding than doing it with a Daystate.
If you want to do a bit of hunting you may what to jump up to a HW50
but I'd recommend refining your target skills with the HW30 first.

Can someone tell me what fps the HW 30 shoot. I occasionally would like to keep the squirrels away from the bird feeder and would like enough power to make a human shot at 20-25 yards.

. This is why people rave about the HW 30 ....This was the first group I shot from it . The small silver thing is what remains of a pushpin .Upvote 0
marksman can you send me a pm about your tx2000. I would like to know more about it and see some pictures. Also I would like to here from others who have hunted squirrels with the hw30.
Thanks

rws34 is very nice if you want a more powerful springer -- the TO6 trigger is better than the TO5 and compares favorably to the weihrach REKORD .- I have had 3 TO6 equipped RWS rifles , and all 3 triggers were excellent . the P model [ BLACK SYNTHETIC STOCK ] can be had for approx. $250 while the beech stock version approx. $270 --- I do have a HW30S and a R7 and love to shoot both of them . but neither of them is adequate when there is a need to take out a squirrel raiding my wifes' bird feeders -- when looking for a springer with some power in the under $300 class , the rws34 is a best buy --

Hw30/R7 in .177 is my favorite springer. Plenty of power for small game inside of 30 yards.
Next in line is the tx200 or pro sport tuned at 12fpe.
In the $300 price area, hw30 hands down.

There was a really nice r7 on yellow forum classified yesterday. It was already tuned . The R7/ HW30 is popular for a very good reason !!! Shoot one just once and you will get it

i can understand your desire for an r-7, or hw30....but if i were you....i would consider the diana 34 with t06 trigger , and the cometa 400. the cometa shoots harder and is easy to cock and the trigger is a dream - but the diana/rws t06 trigger is better (alomst as good as the rekord hw trigger). the cometa 400 is on sale at straight shooter for $250.....if you can find cometa 400 compact - even better. both are really good and accurate , even out past 40 yards. both love easy to get crosman premier hp's. ...or just get an hw95 / r-9 if you are attached to rekord trigger..... my .20 r-9 gold finger is the best airgun i have. i just wouldnt try removing pests with anything less than 12ftlbs (825 fps with premiers). airguns of ariz has the .22 webley quattro tomahawk on for $99....they arent bad....definately worth the $99 - and you can buy a $35 hawke hd (2-7x32ao) .... cheers.

EMrider, Why would you put the HW 30 over the TX200. Also when you tune a TX200 to make it a 12 fpe rifle is there more to it than just changing the power of the spring? Do you like the 12 fps version because it is easier to cock or because it is a smoother shooter?

That is a good question! $300 is a good budget though! I suggest a Diana RWS 34P air rifle they are light-weight and has good Iron Sights! Just my opinion though!
