I completely understand that it's not just about the rifle, but if I am gonna need to start buying equiptment somewhere, I think it'd be a little bit more fun to get the rifle first than clothes. I am going to get what I can when I can. However I only make minimum wage so this may take a while. But ...

Walther lg30
fwb 700 basic
fwb 700 junior( a strech on the price but maybe)
8001 junior
8001 club( can't tell the difference between the junior and the club)

Are their any others I have missed?

Thanks,
Jon

Thanks for the input. I wouldn't mind a pcp, That's why I said about 1600 for the gun, to leave room for the cost of the tanks, pumps, etc. Also, I would prefer something new, I have had bad luck with used items in the past. Do you think this is possible? Finally how can I find if their is a club ne...

Sorry I should have specified my budget too. I think max is about $1600 for the gun and sights. I will go a little higher if I have to.

Once I tried it I knew I wanted to do this for a while. So I have been doing tons of research over the past few weeks. Ho...
