I have an old air rifle and the only markings on it are made in england. Its does about 640fps with gamo match pills in .177. Problem is its having drama's dropping indian myna's. After having a few burls with keiths super dooper air rifle, Im after something with a bit more power. What sort of good air rifles are out there that are powerfull without being overly expensive?

All true too.It's the bargain of all time in Sporters.If you buy an R9,there is no reason at all that it can't be handed down to your kids and their kids ..forever!!!

Yes.I have a selection in varied sizes so I can custom fit for best compression.
