or would recommend? I saw the Benjamin pump thread and want to get a decent pellet gun again. I used to have a few Gamo's and was pleased with them back in my younger days.

I'll be using it for mainly plinking and the occasional squirrel hunt. Looking to spend around 200$

Got any recommendations or websites that I can start looking at? TIA.

Why not buy a .22?

I have an RWS. It's pretty damn accurate and pretty fast. Can't remember the model. I put a 3-9x40 scope on it. I had a problem of not being able to get the scope locked down. It moved to the rear of the gun with every shot. I put a stop on it and it helped alot. Haven't shot it in a couple of years though.

I have the old pump Benjamin... cheap and efective.

For $200, I'd buy a .22

I've got plenty of .22's, lever action, bolt action, single shot.

My buddy had one too, and had the same problem with the scope knocking back. That thing was heavy as shite.

I think I saw a Ruger pellet gun at Academy last week, it caught me eye but was in a hurry and didn't get a chance to look it over.

In that case, check out stoeger. Made by benelli. Have heard good reviews of their shotgun saw they make air rifled.

I saw one of these. it shot the .22cal at like 1200fps.
Crack barrel, but piston driven. pretty intense.

I used to have a gamo and benjamin- Gamo FTW IMO

I bought 2 Ruger Air Hawks at Christmas and they were both carried back to BPS. Not very accurate but shot very hard. If it were more accurate I would still have them.

I have an old benjamin pump that my dad gave me, and that his dad had given him. That thing is ridiculous, it is .22 caliber too, many a squirrel and robin have gone down to it.

I'll always remember my first. Her name was Daisy and she was beautiful. I pumped her 7 or 8 times, every time I pulled her trigger, although, I don't think more pumps helped... Gosh I miss Daisy...
