The Gecado 35 is a nice old airgun but low powered by today's standards.I have springs and seals in stock but if it needs anything else eg a trigger,we're in strife.MISSED wrote:Trevor Gecado mod 35 22 cal

Re: cheap plinker
Missed, that money needs to go on the credit card as I've spent it already. Now when the HMR goes we'll see whats left.
I have a cheap plinker 22, the air rifle was more a 'covert ops' idea
Yeah your right, if I buy something cheap and nasty I will hate it but I wont use it enough to justify large expense.
Any the Gamo is ok but not special, would that be the height of it?

PM Lewis about his cheaper airguns mate.
I really don't recommend "Covert ops" as its not worth losing your license if you neighbour busts you.

Hi P,
Sorry but I don't have much at all right now.An HW80 would be my top choice for that sort of money.

Re: cheap plinker
It's so sad that so many HW80's end up in gunshops.They are such a fantastic springer with so much potential plus of course,the Rekord trigger is enough reason to buy one.MISSED wrote:I found a HW80 hidden away in the bottom shelf of a gunshop seems inreasonable nick.So any idea of value ?
Its value depends on condition and age.
Really ugly old ones go for $250 upwards.
Nice old ones $350 upwards to $500.Gunshops like to dress them up with a crappy,unsuitable scope and mounts usually to 'value add'.
A new R1 is $995.

Re: cheap plinker
Damien, a couple of people are awaiting PTAs and KRudd handouts before 2 of my rifles disappear. I just did a huge sinclair order and another with Procal.
If there is any left I'll talk to you though I have no idea what your air rifle looks like or where it fits in on the quality scale!
