I'd save a couple more hundred dollars and get a Beeman R1 or HW77/97, depending on whether you prefer break barrel or under lever. They're both made by Weihrauch and nicer than an RWS. I like RWS but they're just not as nice as a Weihrauch and don't have as nice a trigger. Plus the plastic trigger parts on the 48 just bother me. You really have to look hard to find a nicer springer than a Weihrauch. They're just absolutely beautifully made. They're the kind of airguns you'll be proud to own. Once you hold and shoot one, you begin to understand why they cost around $600.00.

And once you've held/shot a Weihrauch, you'll throw rocks at anything made by El Gamo.

Have you modified your range requirement?
That 50-100 yard range for a pellet gun is pushing more than the limit.
With a little light .177 pellet that isn't aerodynamicaly shaped you are going to have to read the wind like someone shooting a center fire at over 500 yards.
A .22RF has more mass than a .22 pellet, and I've had trouble at 100 yards.

If you still like springers after this gun then you are a trooper. LOL

Got it used,added the tuneand wasstillless than $500 with glass and mounts. Then, went outto Lavon, Tx andwon againsta.177 Whiscombe JW 75 FT shot by a more experienced shooter.

Granted ~it was an 'on' day, but sure can't shoot FTwell with a below par bbgun. Especially in the.22cal flavor.Ya know?

Daisy 120?130? 131? Gamo Cadet? If you've got a line on some of these low power plinkers, we can probably work a trade for a .177HW in R9 Rekordflavor . . .
