RWS 350M for $239, among others..
« on: April 23, 2009, 08:07:11 AM »
I was just doing my usual bargain hunting in various classifieds, and found the following at Airguns of Arizona's Used Section:

RWS 350 Magnum, .22 cal, "EX Condition"    $239
RWS Mod. 240 Schutze,  .22* cal, "LN Condition,"    $109    *[Typo? Is the Schutze actually offered in .22?]
Beeman HW97, .177 cal, "LN Condition,"  $495         another in "EX Condition," also .177, $395
BSA SuperTEN Mk 2 w/ moderator, .22 cal,  "VG Condition"   $495
Air Arms TX200 HC (Beech), .22 cal,  "EX Condition,"    $395
Theoben Evolution Walnut Sporter, .22 cal,  "LN Condition"    $595

There's also a few other BSA guns (Sportsman HV and a couple Meteors) that I don't know anything about, so if you're interested you'll have to go check those prices out yourself; I'm not posting a price if I don't have a clue whether it's actually a decent one. Same goes for a couple Falcon FN-19's.

That said, I'm still unsure on whether some of those prices really are all that good. Mainly it was just the two RWS guns, especially the 350, that caught my eye.

The 350 is, IMHO, a good buy at about $100 new and roughly the same as a BAM28.  The 240 in .22?  The specs for those is only about 575fps in .177 so you are talking about 430fps of so?  Kind of on the mild side, even for a youth rifle in that caliber.  Still, Slavia-speed .22's can be fun, but the trigger in the 240 is non-adjustable, so it might take the fun out of it.
