Whats a decent & cheap springer rifle?
Looking for a “CHEAP” springer gun thats good on accuracy for 20-25 yds for plinking. A .22 cal would be preferrable, but .177 seems to be the cal of choice for local stores with the execption of one gun.
Looked at a Beeman dual caliber (.177 & .22 barrels) at Academy Sports for $139. Wal-Mart had a Crossman Quest 1000X in .177 cal for $99 and a Gamo Big Cat 1200 in .177 cal for $129.
Anyone have any ideas if these or something else under $150 is out there? I’ve got 2 Talons, just want something cheap to screw around with and not cost anything to shoot.

Just set one of the talons up w/ CO2. Keep the accuracy and reduce costs at the same time. I started with the cheap springers and can’t hardly stand to shoot one any more due to harshness, twangy, recoil, MUCH harder to shoot accurately, etc.
my .02 worth.
Hey trigger I have a brand new Gamo Big Cat .177 with over 2000 pellets a 4×32 scope and a BSA Varmint laser flashlight combo that I really want to trade for a good laser or I will sell outright as a package…. What do you think? 😀

Maybe one of those russian baikal guns? They aren’t supposed to be bad, expecially for the money. I think you can get them in .22 or .177. Keep in mind .177 will be a lot easier to get ammo for locally, but I think .22 is a better caliber if you don’t mind ordering ammo online.
