Indians For Guns

Hi, just joined IFG,i have recently taken membership of a Rifle Association in Kolkata,as a novice which air rifle should i use, currently i have an IHP mod 25 .177.

Even as a novice I believe you should get a better airgun. If your budget restricts you to springers, look out for used Slavias or FWB 300, If you have a slightly higher budget Maybe HW77's.. Indian airguns are just good for backyard plinking (at best)

Thanks for the reply, but where in India Can i find these or do i have to get it from abroad eg Pyramidair.

Start with the 25, as most of us did. Misery loves company
Seriously; by all means look for a better rifle, but don't let that stop you from getting started with the 25. With decent pellets it's adequate

Welcome aboard.

Continue to know your N25 and learn to shoot well with it, till you get a better rifle.

In our country people have shot Gold, Silver and Bronze with an N25 in 10mtr Open Sight category.

This is what I shot with a beat up, heavily abused N25 today and its my best grouping ever with a N25.
The target is a standard 10mtr air rifle card shot at 10mtrs.
And let me tell you I have miles to go.

Thanks all of you for your advice, will start with my 25 and see how it goes maybe later i will ask my association for a better gun.

Hi, i want to buy an imported .177 cal air rifle should i buy it from pyramidair or purchase it from India which will be more convenient, dont want to argue with block head officials.

Get one from outside if you have a club membership and are willing to wait a bit, and probable 'talks' with the customs/postal depts. Buy one in India, if available, and you feel the budget to be OK

Do not buy DAWS model 35 it's a crap air rifle my catapult (gulel) can shoot taster then DAWS air rifle

DAWS making air rifle for quite a long time.
It settles at 400-450 fps in .22.
