The price seems a little bit high for IHP National 25. Look for a IHP National 35. About getting a .22 and starting from there, AFAIK .177 and .22 has different trajectory so it'd be better if you start on a .177 Also only .177 is allowed to used in competitions. If you are looking for a plinking gun, get the IHP 35. It's more than adequate for plinking. I looked up on Aimco site but couldn't find .177 rifles. I advice you to contact airgun_novice, hes a member here and he's from Thane, Mumbai too.

Dear Aadi007,
I have one National -25 in 0.177 caliber, bought a year and half back.
It came in very crude shape.It was tuned twice to make it perfect.
It is dead accurate now.I would say this is a toy,you can play for hours
without getting tired.Low noise is another feature of this gun.
