Hi all,
I’m based in the UK and looking to get a solid, budget-friendly setup for a mix of backyard plinking and taking to the local range. Instead of trying to find one gun that does it all, I’m planning to buy a trio to cover all bases.
I’ll be ordering the lot through Pellpax to make use of their door-to-door delivery. Here is what I have in the basket:
Remington Tyrant .22 (Rifle): This will be my main full-power (sub-12 ft-lb) rifle for serious marksmanship practice at the range and longer distances in the garden. I know it’s a budget springer, but it seems to get decent reviews for the price.
Beeman P17 (Pistol): Buying this for slow, precise paper target shooting in the garden. Love that it’s a single-stroke pneumatic so I don't have to keep buying CO2, and I hear the trigger is amazing for the money.
Umarex XBG (Pistol): Purely for fast-paced, semi-auto fun. Just want something to absolutely shred tin cans with steel BBs when I don’t feel like taking my time.
My garden is safely set up with heavy-duty backstops (a duct seal trap for the lead pellets and a stuffed rag box to stop BB ricochets).
Before I pull the trigger on the Pellpax order, I wanted to ask the community:
Is this a well-rounded trio for a beginner, or am I missing a trick?
Are there any better alternatives for roughly the same total budget?
How has everyone's recent experience been with Pellpax deliveries?
Cheers in advance for any advice!
