NX 200 - A GOOD CHOICE?
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2020 11:33 am
Hi all,
Hope you all are safe and healthy.
I have recently developed an interest in shooting after playing "Hitman Sniper" game and looking forward to buy my first air rifle once the lockdown situation ends. I don't aim to prepare for competition or stuff. I am just interested in backyard shooting and fun. I need recommendations for a rifle and a good scope:
RIFLE - My requirements here are accuracy and durability within a budget of 10-15000 INR. Based on my google research, I have narrowed down my choice to Athena NX 200. Is it a good choice or are there better rifles within same price range? Also, upto what max. distance is it fairly accurate?
SCOPE - I don't know if I really need a scope but I love the cool factor of viewing the target from the scope and rifle looks cool as well with a scope. My budget is 10000 INR. Is it possible to get a decent quality scope at this price? I checked some Bushnell dusk and dawn model (5k) online but seems like it is not original. What scope would you recommend? I don't need very high magnification but the quality of scope should be good. I mean I should not have to zero it again after every few shots. How about this one : https://www.kovibazaar.com/scopes-mount ... 1mm-mounts
Any suggestions and guidance is highly appreciated.
thanks.
