Hi guys ,i came across this site " ioffer.com" offering a vast range of .177/.22 air rifles from Crossman to Daisy,Diana,Air soft guns and a lot more.More over the seller claims too ship to India without any problems .The rates are very tempting ,Cross man starting from Rs.4000.00 including shipping !

I am tempted to buy, but would like your views on this website before making any purchases.

They are genuine dealers but... can we ship the air rifles to India? This is a website from Calif. USA.

Kindly let me know whether there a possibility to ship an Air Rile (.22 or .177) if I get it from a genuine buyer from this site?
Or from any other sites similar to this? Kindly throw some light on this.

Thank you,
Noble

Thank you hillsman. Also, is there anyway I can buy from pyramidsair.com or any other genuine site to India being not a member of rifleclub?
Do I get in to trouble if I get it via USPS from anyother genuine sites?

Thank you,

Noble, i too have been hunting for a good air rifle. in my experience, the best air rifle you can get in india in terms of quality and performance is probably the IHP/National air rifle. "Tommy", another indian air rifle performs surprisingly good as well. My friend has one and he fitted a (cheap) scope and it shoots a pretty consistent 1" groups at about 15 mts.

go through the "Air Guns" section on IFG, i'm sure it will help. it also has feedback on import experiences on one of its threads.

Hope this helps. :)

If you are not a member of a club, forget about importing. It requires lot of paper work. Better stick to indian brands.
read "Airgun import experiences - via post/ courier route" thread.
