thankyou I have seen these rifles. they comer recommended for young hands by many people.
I have recently bought a springer for my son, a tactical synthetic stock German Weihrauch HW 97 KT carbine. there was a package deal for little over £ 600 including shipment to home.
he will definitely transition to powder burner once he is ready
there is much to discuss and I think it is best that we talk in private. I was meant to respond to your earlier post too
yes I also worked out a reasonable scope to be between 90 to 120 GBP which translates to a decent scope. I am advised by veterans never to go cheap on mounts and the scope from walmart or ebay brands as they wont last more than few sessions.
I know I quoted too high a price of $1000 as a clean CZ 457 (as a benchmark ) is about 580 to 600 USD without scope or mods etc.
I think I will keep the budget to £700 for .22LR (UK is unfortunately expensive). I do plan to check out the recommended dealers in Pakistan for budget options that I might leave there before heading back to UK.
I am looking for a reliable rifle and for sure snob value will be a bonus. I just wanted to find s sweet spot where I am not paying top dollars for the features that I am never going to use. once I am used to the sport I will buy some budget rifles for regular and carefree outings and save the premium item for special occasions. again it all depends on available time and opportunity. I am planning a camping and mountain trecking trip with my old man next year March April time. despite the opposition from the females in the family he wants to build a cabin or buy a ready made caravan house in the mountains where he got some land. it seems too ambitious though but if it works out then I will share the stories on how far we got.
