Newbie looking for advice

[pindog2000]

I agree with tjk the rws 34 is a good shooter and a classic at the time i opted for a ruger air hawk cause money was a issue its a clone of the rws 34 but i made of for it twice a month later when the funds was right and in order i got a rws 350p in .22 cal and then recently i had my  ruger tuned and camoed and had my 350p tuned by mr shadow(see the shop forum) i think pretty much ur best bet is the rws 34 you cant go wrong for what u need but if you want quiet like i said in earlier post the trail/npss might be the ticket but i would consider the rws 34(better stock trigger)

I've decided on buying the Cometa Fusion that was in the classified section.  Thanks thebookdoc and everyone else for your help.

My best rifles are break-barrels. Even John Whiscombes first rifles were break-barrels. His last rifle, the JW-80 was a fixed barrel, but not due to accuracy, rather due to perception and perceived demand. I would consider re-evaluating my choices if I were you. Your options will be greater with out any real loss in results.

Being new to this I was just a little concerned about the accuracy of the break barrel.  I am a pretty picky individual and if I went with a break barrel I would want something that was well built.

Knowing that, with what I was looking for originally but instead consider a break barrel - what would be a good quality air rifle?  What is the Nitro Piston?

Everyone here is great!

how about a tuned b40?

I think you made a spectacular choice. I wish my first springer had been a Cometa Fusion! If you don't like it, you'll be able to turn it around very quickly.

Just a quick note to make sure you get a one-piece scope mount for it! The Accushot/Leapers are a good buy, and so are the Hawkes. Make sure you get one (medium or high) with enough clearance for your scope objective.

I have to agree with Daveshoot. One of the reasons I suggested the Cometa on the Classifieds is that it was bothering me that I might have to buy it myself. I already have 2 Cometas ;-)

Pindog, I have a 48 and would probably rather have a B40...Interested in discussing a possible trade?

[daveshoot]

It was bothering me, too. Thanks for removing this attractive nuisance, as the lawyers call them... I have to remodel a bathroom and have no business buying more Cometas.

I have an RWS Model 48 in .177 cal.  It sounds like a staple gun going off when fired.  I shoot in my backyard and the neighbors never know what is going on.  Sounds like I am doing some kind of construction project and that is the way I like it.  I have not heard other air rifles so don't know how much quieter an air rifle can be but mine is quiet enough for me.
