G’day Folks

Hi Ian,

Welcome to the forum.

There are many options for good guns, all depends on your needs, your expectations and your budget.
As Kruza said, Youngs is your best bet, probably the best air rifle shop in the country, and he is in your town.
He has lots of stock and is always turning over second hand guns. I'd have no problem recommending him.

MagAir is a guy called Alex, he sells out of a container in his garden, but he has a good selection of new and second hand rifles. His website is not the greatest or updated often, but he has a lot of rifles in stock and is help full. He is in Morrinsville, not far from me. He imports rifles and I have bought from him before and can recommend him.

Like most things in life, you get what you pay for, but if you want a quality gun that shoots nicely and you can pass on to your kids or grandkids one day, then you are looking at Weirauch, Airarms, or some of the big Dianas.
Some of the higher end Gamos will serve your needs, but they are not a high quality rifle, and their triggers are terrible.

Mynas at 40 is going to take a good rifle and lots of practise, but it can be done.
If you have any questions about rifles you find and like, just fire away.

Pete.

Thank you Sir 🫡

The HW95 looks like the better choice - not sure the HW30S has enough power?

Nope, i got mine off airguns NZ.
Not sure he is still selling to public. I imagine youngs in auckland would have them. Delta mikes has them.
Only thing is you wont get them under a grand more like 1200+.
That's for rifle.
Second hand market will prob be way to go.
Ive seen sig asp20 going for around 700 dollar mark,second hand. dont show up that often. Excellent break barrel. maybe to powerful for 40m but snot a possum.
There are other good air rifles around but I can only recommend the brands ive used.
Tx200 .22 very heavy but awesome gun.
Sig asp20 .177 fantastic gun. One of my favorites, but dont like .177 (personal thing gun was bloody fantastic)
Weihrauch hw97 blackline.which i have now and is excellent
Crossman 1322 which is my bird gun for out to 30m but have taken out a starling at 50m. Most loved gun i have. Not for possums though did get one at point blank and it dropped, but wouldn't consider it for that past about a few meters.

If you know anyone in Dunedin, this could well be worth bidding on.
There's a chance you could get if a grand. Awesome rifle.
I imagine it will end around the grand mark. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/sports/hunting-shooting/air-guns-parts/air-rifles/listing/5073972034
