Hi guys, opinions wanted please:

New PAL rated rifle itch; usage will be small game and targets out around 60 yards.
I fill with a Hill pump.

Currently I own a beautiful HW77k in .177, and a Benjamin Maximus in .22 which has been surprising experience in terms of repeatable accuracy with Crosman hollowpoint pellets.

So now I'm looking at the other available options here in Canada, to include the Hatsan 44, Benjamin Marauder, Walther Rotex. (Did I miss anything in the sub $800 price range?)

Thanks in advance,

1Shot

How about one of these beautiful looking guns in .25 caliber?

This gun, the Cometa Orion SH is an excellent gun, especially for the money. My only complaint is the cocking bolt is stiff, otherwise it’s got power, is one hole accurate and seems to be well made. Highly recommended.

I hadn't considered the Cometa.. Thanks!

Also the Air Arms S200 may be an option.

I’ve got both these guns, and I think that the S200 is a good gun, but I’ve got about $1500 into it, changing out the trigger, cocking bolt, and various other tweaks to get it where I wanted it. The Cometa doesn’t have much in the way of aftermarket parts, but I didn’t feel it really needed any tweaking. So the Cometa comes in about $800 cheaper the route I went.
