Thank you Tirpassion, i will go through the steps required. I am going to the Delhi State Rifle Association tomorrow to find out about their membership plans.

Thank you for your advice Brihacharan :)

Prabhath, i have yet to hear anything that would make me not want to get the Izzy. Thank you for your help. :) And i hope you enjoy your Steyr.

www.mac1airguns.com also sells it. You can also buy the multi-pump version now. IRC the max fps it will hit is more than 650 fps with some pumps. Course you can use one pump for target shooting. You can also sand paper the grip to fit your hand.

Thanks Dev, I didn't know it had a multi pump version... Isn't a single stroke more consistent in it's output compared to a multi stoke?
i thought about conturing the grip once i get a feel of it. :)

Kunald,

The Izzy and the IHP are worlds apart in terms of quality. Used an IHP for a few sessions at KSRA......cannot be compared to the Izzy.

@Dev,

A friend of mine recently checked with Tim McMurray. He has stopped selling the Izzys. All my friend could get from him was his secret formula oil. I had recommended Tim to him since I too had bought the Izzy from him.

Thank you Prabhath, I'm quite sure my choice would be the izzy now. :)

Hi,

Six months back I was searching similarly like you and finally got IZH.
Its best for beginners, you get good exercise for your arm muscles and savings compared to pcps.

Thanks Dilip, My reasons also include savings as my budget is limited. How is your experience with the Izzy?

Very good, very accurate , good for shooting indoors , also can be used for plinking.
I am really happy with it. Only problem is over sized grips. You can modify it to fit your hands.
I have not done any changes till now. I will be modifying the grips. Better to practise with stock setting for some time, then you will have clear idea what changes you need.
