Which of the chinese guns do you all feel gives you the most for your money? Power, performance, ect. Thanx, Bently
-
B26, B30, or B40 for springers. B50 for precharged pneumatics. QB78 for CO2. B30 is the most powerful of the three springers, them the B40 and B26. B50 is the most powerful of them all. The QB78 is the most adaptable.
-
So the b30 for spingers. Who has a good price on them? THanx, Bently

How about a Mike Melick tuned B-28 (clone of the RWS 350)
Sharp lookin rifle and extremely powerful,,, if that's what you're lookin for....
You should take a look at the Flying Dragon webiste,,, Mike does an incredible job of tuning his chinese guns and he sells em for great price....

I just ordered a B-26 and a B-40 plus another B-26 for a friend. I can't wait and hopefully this nasty winter will ease up. Have I been experiencing global warming? It's been freezing here since October and the days I have to shoot are nasty.

What kinda prices am i looking at? im really wanting a fixed barrel springer. Dont care if its under or side lever. Was thinking about a gamo cfx but you know I gotta be different. ITs just me I guess. I want big power. And accuracy. I dont care too much about trigger , looks, that kinda thing. To me any gun is a tool plain and simple. Function first! Nothing else really matters. Bently

B26 OR 28 :) The accuracy difference between break barrels and port loaders is very little if any at all. Both can be very accurate depending on the quality of the shooter. :) Ed

Bently, Keep in mind that power and speed do not always equal accuracy!!! A pellet can only go so fast before it loses stability in flight. Just a little food for thought!! Can't remember what caliber you mentioned getting,......177 or .22?!?!? tjk

Bentley, the trigger IS a "function" thing. You are wanting accuracy and one significant accuracy enhancement to any rifle is a good trigger. A better trigger will make you a more accurate shooter even though the rifle isn't inherently more so.
I've jumped on the B-26 and the B-40 and if I discover them to be what I hope they are I'll be looking to get the MM 28 and 30 as well.

The trigger is probably one of the most important things about a springer that will contribute more to your enjoyment, and make you able to better take advantage of a rifle's inherent accuracy. The B-26 will do anything you would want to do with a springer even though it's not the most powerful . I feel it has the best trigger of any of the Chinese guns and the best balance of power, out of the box. I have the B-20, similar to the B-26, and though it pains me to admit it , it is as good as the HW product it mimics. Mine has Maccari guts and a tune, and is still half the price. I also own the HW , so I'm not just speculating here.

I guess a little background is in order. I graduated from the Colorado School of Trades in 1992. Im a gunsmith. So when I say im not worried about the trigger its because thats a problem I can fix. I just need a gun I wont have to rebuild to get performance out of. Dont mind doing little things like trigger work or a little polishing here and there. I just dont know alot about airguns. Pretty sure I wouldnt be able to turn a 400 fps. gun into a 1200 fps. gun. Basically I want a solid platform to start out with. And im really interested in .177 I like only having to buy one cal. of pellets. THanx guys. Bently

Flat out, for $129 from Wallmart, I love the RS2
