Help needed from some Bombay folks

Post by sahiljatana » Tue Jan 25, 2011 3:03 pm

Hey guys,

need some help from the Bombay folks. I am still scouting and trying to zero in on my first air rifle. The choices are every increasing, IHP 35, AK Agni, DAWS (from Pune).

Are there any dealers besides the ones near Crawford Market? Proline fitness sells air rifles as well, but very expensive. Also, can someone recommend me a dealer?

If possible i would like to purchase a rifle today. Budget being under 5k, purpose being casual plinking.

Suggestions welcome, help will be appreciated.

If anyone can have the rifle delivered to me today, that would be awesome :lol:

Thanks
Sahil

You can try Humne's - Opp. Thane (W) Rly Stn/ Bhanushali Hospital on Shivaji Path - they do not stock on IHP but SDB and "others". Mostly .22. So for plinking ought to be OK. EssDee1972 has purchased an SDB from them. He's posted some of his experience with it. Alternately, you could check with Aimco online - http://www.aimco.co.in/
They ship to your address. I am currently thinking of going for an IHP rifle myself through them. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Go for an IHP 25 or 35 in .177.
New price of IHP25 will be 5K in Mumbai.
It seems currently no stocks of IHP so check with AIMCO first....
You might pay more because of packing, freight and octroi but AIMCO are good folks to deal with.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.
