Looking to get an Airgun

[canshooter]

If the Beeman gun that is on the above link is the one I am familiar with DO NOT BUY ONE. They carry the Beeman name god knows why. My daughter bought one and would not listen to me. It looked very pretty but had the nastiest trigger I have ever felt. an 8lb trigger on an a 5 lb gun you tell me wich will move first. The best I could get it to group was about 4" at 10yds. At that distance my HW30s will make a tiny cloverleaf and my Daisy 853 will put the pellets thru the same hole. This Particular gun is made by Norica in Spain. They do not have a reputation as manufacturers of a good product.

Here is the gun I am talking about:

Canshooter,
i agree 100% with you about the Daisy 853c
but with my Beeman 1040 i can inside a dime most of the time at 33'
It is pretty thing that is why i got it.

My Beeman 1041 could shoot 1/4" groups or better at 10 meters.
They do have heavy triggers though. It takes some getting used to but I found it was fairly accurate.

[Edit] Note: I don't think that it's worth the $250 that I paid for it at CT though. I think they are now $230 at CT, but still there are better guns for that price or less.

I just felt that with a new user, He could benefit from knowing about the experience I had with this gun. I paid $300.00 For My HW30s with a scope, mounts and muzzle break and for the price difference there was no comparison.

Thanks for those great links guys. I'm gunna check that stuff out in the next little while.

TCooper: For price I would prefer to stay below $300, but if there is something that goes for a bit more (and is worth it) I wouldn't mind spending a bit extra.

airsmith282: Do you own a Crosman Challenger 2000? After looking at it I must say I am impressed.

auctually yes I do own a challanger and like it very much so does my wife and its really her toy but i get to shoot it as well, wiht the peep sites its great we also have tried a 4x32 scope on it and its even cooler very nice gun easy on co2 and extreamly accurate as well, and its not very noisy either... its worth every penny

Alright thanks for all the info everyone. I'll take all this stuff into consideration and see what happens from there.

For now though... it's New Years Eve!
