I would have preferred .22 cal rifles but they have been outlawed .So these are my choices for .177cal rifles with are around my budget ( 4000 INR. I know its pretty small but that’s all I could save )

SDB Model 23 (0.177Cal/4.5mm) : http://www.kovibazaar.com/airguns/calib ... -model-23- 0177cal45mm

SDB Model 25 : http://www.kovibazaar.com/airguns/calib ... re-shooter

I would your opinion on these guns as well as other suggestions. Also, I was wondering if Kovibaazar ships to mumbai.
Thanks for reading.

You can buy SDB guns directly from manufacturer, will cost less than half! Even their latest gun Artemis costs about 6000₹ at manufacturer AFAIK. Apache should cost you about 5000₹ but its slightly heavier. Go for a light gun if short range plinking is the objective. Else try a more powerful one.
