Best airgun under 5000 rupees? Available in South India?

[jaberwockie]

Hey guys, I have a budget of 5k and am looking for an air rifle. It can be either 22 or 177 no preference for me. It's just for plinking and destroying old stuff like broken cassettes, etc. While practicing my aiming.. With my old air rifle I could hit single chalk pieces 3 out of 5 times like 10 to 15 meters away!

I was thinking about the ihp series but it seems that many people get replies from stores that they have stopped making them or even worse that they start at around 6 or 7 thousand.

So which is the next best option? I hear SDB is somewhat nice but I have no idea which one to get.

Also is there any cash on delivery option for buying online?

Lastly, what's the difference between the air pistols and rifles? Is the power greatly reduced in the pistols?

In sdb try sdb sport model

For your budget - UTA New Diana M35 Air Rifle

AK Agni is a decent gun in that range. SDB Apache, Sport etc. Buy from manufacturer only, dealers are frauds.

Get either a Precihole , they just launched vx Spartan for ₹7500 or a SDB gennex or Apache or the tested IHP springers. As you are new, I would suggest the docile gennex. Don't buy any gun just because they are cheap, save 1000-2000 more and buy a decent gun that would be durable and have some accuracy. I have suffered miserably by buying a gun that was under ₹5000. A gun strictly under ₹6000 would be the new AK springer in .177. Have read good reviews about it. Buy your new gun in .177 only to save trouble.

Precihole & IHP is available nationwide, but about the others I don't know if available at local stores or not, but most online dealers have them.
