I'm not really 'new' to the airgun scene, many moons ago I was into it..... back in the old skool days of the LEGENDARY Chinese B3 era and the many variants/types rifles (ya'll know wassup back then if you were there). Anyway, trying to get back in the game and looking for a cheap decent rifle. Was thinking the Gamo Hornet (or Varmint) or the Beeman Sportsman RS2 rifle...... around the $150 range and below. What else would you recommend in that price range?
Yoyoyo.... waddup Airgun Peeps

- Start date
Cheap and decent are a hard match. Not to say that there are no rifles out there that would make the grade, but they just lead you deeper into the rabbit hole.
Depending on the level of seriousness, it may be better to save a few bucks and go high end from the start. Save it now, or save it later. You will probably wind up stepping up to a higher end gun. Most of us work it that way anyhow.

Well, I just want a starter gun, nothing fancy...... just some fun plinking and rodent dispatching. What about the Crosman Optimus? Crosman Benjamin Prowler? Daisy Winchester Model 1100? Benjamin Titan GP?
Come on ya'll.... I need more guns to look at in this price range, more suggestions and recommendations please. BTW, are those Valken V-Tac Retay any good? Only for $100!! They look nice!!!

As someone has already said, German made Walther Terrus
Rest of rifles in $150 price range are likely to be Chinese made and only guaranteed accurate at about 10 yards - whereas I've seen a video on youtube of a guy hitting spinners at 70 yards with a terrus

+3 On the Walther Terrus. I bought one from AOA for 149.95 and That! ...is one Hell of a deal! Check what most other dealers have it listed at. Hatsans can be a crap-shoot as far as barrels go. The Walther Terrus will put that Hatsan 95 on the bench...and Not the shootin bench!

I don't know, kids.......that Hatsan looks mighty nice and after looking at a few reviews, everyone's had nothing but good things to say about it. One reviewer says it uses German steel, in all the internals and the barrel, etc...... so there ya go. Maybe I should pick one up and have a showdown with your Walther Terrus!!

You’ve gotten some good advice, especially the RWS34 on Amazon. I own a Hatsan and it does not compare favorably with the German made guns.
But hey, you seem to know better and it is your money............enjoy your HatsOn.

Ohhhh Snap, Crackles, & Pop is right! 4 out of 5 Star rating and Prime shipping? Man! I wish I’d seen this before I plucked $500 bones on the LGV. Amazon sells pellets too. Let us know how you like it when you get it.

I own both Hatsan 95 QE Vortex. 22 and Walther Terrus, not close in quality, accuracy...Worked on both Guns- Terrus great shooter out the box, Hatsan requires work but still not close...
