To be honest, I don't know of that many.

The Feinwerkbau 103 is a very accurate and capable gun,  but they have a bulky appearance for me.

Kind regards,



Phil

The fwb may be ok, but its bleeding ugly the daisy range including the target versions i've had, but dreadfull grips, feel, and hold, and the baikal's a bit like an old fordson tractor  :? , M.

A real toughie. A swift fix is the HW40. I had one and regretted selling it. Simple, accurate and reliable.
Feinwerkbau, incredibly accurate but, like the Baikal - a love it or hate it gun.
Gamo Compact. Often available at around the £120 mark used and a lot of gun for that sort of cash.
The FAS family. Another thing altogether - the 604 comes along regularly, the 606 not so often.
HW75? Beutifully made but not cheap.

I’m going off to go find myself. If I’m not back by the time I return, keep me here.

I always fancied a Webley Alecto.

Quite a capable gun on a single pump, with the added avantage of a second or third to up the power.

Kind regards,

The whole "Star Wars" feel about it left me cold. Powerful accurate gun though.

Thanks for your comments, i have 3 compacts! :roll: , Alecto i liked its accuracy, but struggled to get comfy with the grip, 604 i would not mind another one, though they seem a bit pricey at the moment when they pop up, think i'll just have to be patient not my strongpoint :roll: , M.

My eldest son uses an alecto in our pistol league and regularly scores over 80 with it. As already stated in previous posts it's a marmite type pistol.

They are very accurate, & i liked the trigger, but i struggled with the grips & the over military appearance, however if one came along @ the right price i might give it another go. Just come back from my rfd they sell them for £275 ouch, most others  £215 new. M. :?  :)

I'm still in buying mode, but found nothing that i fancy although some @ silly prices on gun* of course. In the meantime one of my compacts has died & been sent off today to "Mr Seals" Laurie to be fixed. M. :?  :)

Crosman 2240s can be picked up for the £75 mark.

Sites such as gmac give you lots of customisation options, including conversion to  .177

Kind regards,

I am not a fan of yellow gold and, therefore, bass and other such finishes.

Stainless, etc, are much better finishes, though I do prefer satin rather than shiny.
