Boredom Has Set In - What to Get?

[txaggie929]

So, as this BS of shutdown continues to drag on, I find myself looking for something to plink with in the backyard. Like an idiot, I sold my Beeman R7 a while back when I was shooting my PCP way more. But, since a bunch of stuff is closed right now and can't refill my tank, looking at other options.

Even considered the adult sized Red Ryder for grins, but fear it may way too inaccurate.

Open to any suggestions under the $250 range....the cheaper the better. And backyard noise friendly....Also, if you have anything for sale, feel free to send me a message.

Hello maybe hw30?

 

[intenseaty22]

Yeah, another HW30 or R7, & hang on to it this time! O/W up your budget and get yourself a compressor

$40.00 Chinese hand pump the one with the folding legs. CMP Daisy 853 with a TKO. Or the new black one is $249.00. They both shoot the same. If you can find a beater FWB 300s that's what I would get but it's more than the budget like $450.00 but it would be a keeper quiet super easy to cock and unbelievably accurate for backyard plinking all day long and extremely pellet friendly. They are so accurate it sometimes gets boring. Power is around R7 or HW30s level and much quieter and a way more accurate too. You will probably try plinking out to 55 yards and beyond with it too it's that accurate. YO!

My PCP is a 250 bar fill, so a handpump will wear my ass out. And I actually had a FWB300s...and sold it too to fund my PCP. Silly accurate, but definitely a large, heavy rifle.

The 1322 is a lot of fun to shoot at cans and other plinkables, I added the metal breach upgrade to mine and it shoots pretty good.

Better to be pissed off than to be pissed on

 

[intenseaty22]

It's called hope. It's called being alive and having a positive outlook on life. Live and let live, for life is short and not promised.

It is good to participate in a forum to break away from this ongoing horrific tragedies of every day modern life as we now know and live in since no one knows what's gonna happen to us tomorrow next week next month or next year. Be well and stay safe everyone! YO!

Daisy 880. Beeman P17. Crosman 1377 or 2240. The 2240 takes 12 gram CO2 cartridges. Also the QB78/Beeman QB78 are good.


Ultimately the HW30S or R7 would have been a good one to have. Maybe spend a couple extra bucks and pick one of those up again and hold onto it.

That is exactly what and where I had in mind when I wrote that! With free shipping and no tax, that’s a good deal in my mind.

I personally thought about the gray laminate 30 in .22. What a slow can thumper that would be! Super fun rolling cans with open sights was what I had in mind for myself.

Then I went TOTALLY ballistic and bought this....

 

[intenseaty22]

Hahaha! Nice! They also have the HW30 regular model in .20

That adult RedRyder is a hoot for $25.00

Dead nuts on out to 50' with no wind

Brings back a lot of memories

Where have you found the adult sized for $25?! They've all been $50+ that I can find.

Yeah, don't think the friends and family of Joe Diffie, John Prine, and countless others consider the pandemic BS -

Possibly a Disco/Maximus in .177 and a TKO? The Maximus has a 2000psi fill pressure, you can use your tank for much longer. Get a .177 and tune it down to 12fpe. If you're shooting within 25 yards you could probably even tune it down to 6fpe like a target rifle and do a whole lot of shooting. Since they have been around for quite a while, it's likely you can find a used one too.
