Page 1 of Air Rifles online

Just wondering if anyone knows of any reliable and preferably cheap online retailer that sells 1.77/2.2 Air Rifles or alternativly if anyone knows of any stores in the North East that sells them. The only ones i can find myself are crappy ones from buy everything, sell everything type shops.

Any help is much appreciated
Bryan

I`ve got to say the very thought of being able to buy air rifles online makes me feel sick. While I`m sure enemyonpc is a responsible adult who would only use such a weapon for responsible reasons (can`t think of one offhand), there are an awful lot of quarterwits and more worrying underaged quarterwits out there who`ll use them for shooting at everything from rats to old ladies. Giving them the opportunity to tool up without any counter-checks (age, sanity that sort of thing) will only end in tears.

Sorry, Bryan. Nothing personal.

Were responsible Adults who have become amune to sting of a paintball so we just want to up our game with some nice 2.2`s with telescopic sights.

Seriously though, were just target shooters that`s all. We have friends and family down in Devon with loads of land and we go down there every now and again ( me, my dad, brother-inlaw) and now my sisters boyfriend, who doesnt have a gun of his own, hence the site request.

Apologies if any rules are broken and i would understand if this thread was to be closed.

My(Air) gun cost £700 and i am allowed by local farmers to go on their land and kill vermin(rats) i pride myself on the clean kill rate

must admit i take offence at your tone mark it`s just as easy for the same(underaged) quaterwits to get booze/adult dvd`s and try to act out some scene from some gore/torture filled movie which makes me sound like all those quaterwits who claimed "CHILDS PLAY" was to blame for certain of the time related events and that all 18+ films should be banned most (air gun) owners are responsible folk (well as much as your average car owner anyway ;)

There always seems to be a load of politically correct crap on these pages. Can`t anyone take things at face value any more without undermining them and trying to make something out of nothing!!

airgunbuyer.com in blackpool very competitive and good service or northeast shops there is a shop in hartlepool and my local supplier of ammo bob dunkley firearms in middlesbrough.

Locally, early in 2003 an OAP was hospitalised after being gut-shot with an air-rifle while out shopping. Police said it had all the hallmarks of a sniper attack. For every one responsible adult who prides himself on a "clean kill" there`s four or five who only want an air-rifle to bullseye cat`s arses. I haven`t seen "Bowling for Columbine", and I`m as politically incorrect as you can get, but I don`t trust human nature. If you really, desperately need to have an air rifle, you should have to carry a firearms licence and have been vetted by the police.

Try a trip into Trago Mills Newton Abbot, they have a selection of air rifles from as little as £22.
