air rifles

[Tonka]

Impressive. That kind of money would only buy you an entry level airgun over here. One that would barely give a vole a headache, let alone bag a bear.

Airgun prices have gone mental recently. They are selling Webley Tempest air pistols again now for a mere £290. I paid £53 for mine new in late 90s... they weren't utterly outdated then either. I haven't noticed the 400% inflation it that time.
I think there is a hidden tax that is added to anything in the UK more weapon like than a pointy stick.
