    As the man above said, if its for shooting at, whatever takes your fancy that you don't mind getting damaged.

    I'd be more interested in what your planning on using as a backstop, what's behind your garden that needs to be considered if any shots go wide of the target (or through it ?🤕), especially in regards to airguns.

    PS I find jam jar lids suspended on a line by clothes pegs make effective targets for airsoft, get a nice "ding" when you hit them.

    Brick wall backstop, nothing to worry about there. I've shot air pistols in the garden without issue, I just fancy a proper setup with targets and wanted some inspiration.

    Cyma M14 stock removal

    Nope. It's literally just the trigger guard that holds it all in. You'll need to slide the upper forward to clear the front end of the stock from the end plate by the front sight then angle it all upwards to clear the motor. The battery wires WILL snag inside the stock but that's all part of the joy of owning a Cyma M14!

     

    I am assuming of course that you have one like this:

    and not one like this:

    Because that's a whole other ball game!

    I have the M14 socom but I assume it's much the same as the full length version

    The trigger guard gets pulled down and rotates from the rear of the stock towards the mag well (Think of a swinging motion). This releases the stock from the upper so it can be removed.

     

    Edit: it can be very stiff and require some effort, you need to pull down in the trigger side not the mag well side of the trigger guard.

    Thanks for that, does it pull out only the trigger guard?

    Are there then bolts to remove which hold the stock and action together?

    Has anyone got a video of description of how to best remove the M14 stock?

    I hoped it was a couple of simple Allen bolts but it's not, there's some rough videos on YouTube but not very in-depth.

    I didn't think a stock removal would stump me🤣

    Which BB's for Cyma M14?

    Unless I'm indoors, in only ever shoot .28 and up. However the M14 is the only exception to this- I get much better range with .25s, even though with a Maple Leaf bucking in it, it lifts heavier. I'm guessing it's air volume isn't enough for heavy BBs in the long inner barrel.

    Do you think that would differ in the shorter socom model?

    I've got a Cyma M14 socom coming and just want to know which BB's are best suited and recommended?

    I'm guessing .28 or .32 but are there new ammo brands I should be aware of? I've seen Geoff's bio ammo and tempted to try them but don't want to buy any crap.

    Do I just stick to ASG devil blasters?

    Also to reiterate what Rogerborg said:  If you leave something in your basket for over 24hrs they usually offer you a discount.

    Yeah I got a 5% discount code but held out as it was Easter and woke up to a 10% code👍🏻

    Most don't have a hop, & if it's triple barrels then the cylinder air displaced is divided by three, so low fps essentially,  

    BUT

    Can be a lot of fun & very satisfying in cqb sites, just be prepared to be outgunned in woodland.

    I was just thinking for cheap plinking primarily, I'd rather spend £60-80 on a cheap shotgun for playing around with that could also be skirmished than a cheap crap aeg of the same price.

    To add to this I wouldn't put much faith in reviews from shops. They're not going to tell you if it's shit when they want you to buy one.

     

    Good to hear

    I never take any review is completely honest, unfortunately it's just the way reviews usually work u less they're totally independent and actually paid for the item themselves.

    I watch plenty of other gun channels but haven't yet found many airsoft ones I really liked

    Sub £100 bolt action - worth buying?

    Fair enough, I've just found the quality per £, far higher in the air rifle world than Airsoft. £450 in Airsoft gets you a Taiwan made plastic musket, slinging light spherical objects at 2.2J. In the air rifle world it gets you something made in Germany from beech and steel, firing through a rifled barrel at 16J.

     

    The obvious advantage to Airsoft being able to skirmish with it.

     

    In answer to your question, I'd say pick up any cheap Well rifle. It'll probably be OK for your purposes and if not, you can enjoy tinkering with it.

    I should have mentioned I actually shoot air rifles lol. I can shoot half inch groups at 35-40 yards with them but would never expect that from any airsoft gun, it's impossible. Just for fun and for the garden too is all I expect.

    I'd expect a bolt action to be more accurate than an AEG but it seems that's not always the case unless you pay the premium or upgrade it to the max. I'll keep an eye out for a cheap bolt action springer or possibly another AEG

    Not the forum to discuss in depth but any reason to not just buy an air rifle if you're taking it to am airgun range? I have both Airsoft and air rifles, the accuracy of any airsoft gun pales in comparison.

    I have air rifles already, just thought about adding an airsoft rifle for plinking with as I've not owned a bolt action yet. Just to add to a bit of fun at the range

    Posted · Edited by ibo7

    Firstly, hear me out! I'm wondering if there is a budget bolt action sniper rifle worth buying for under £100?

    I'm not looking to skirmish with it or be the next Novritsch, it would just be for plinking and fun shooting.

    I'm a member at an airgun club so would be just for targets but it's 62 yards so would be good to see what it can do at that range.

    There's loads of rifles available but I have no clue about which ones are actually any good and actually produce the 450fps+ that they claim.

     

    So any recommendations? Or are they all crap?🤣

    PF48 is the only postal service that accepts RIFs or airguns, I've posted quite a few myself.

    DO NOT be tempted to send PF24 no matter what the staff say, it's PF48 only and I believe the max compensation is £100, if you pay extra cover it will not be paid out if the item is lost.

    Core - possibly, Edge - no.

     

    The X-ASR mosfet is wank. The moment you use anything other than the stock motor it stops functioning properly. The one in the Specna Edge I had was consigned to the bin. And as for the 'full metal receiver', well, they are shit too - wafer thin, weaker than most of my polymer guns, and the factory paint is a joke. Then there's the 'not made of cheese, honest' Orion Gearbox - which I binned off for an E&C unit that was 50% heavier. I gave the Orion shell away on here to another user after the front-end jettisoned itself on theirs.

     

    Worst gun I have ever owned - and I've had a lot of guns over the years. I would never recommend one for a new player.

     

     

     

     

    Perfect case and point of how one says "Specna Arms are brilliant" then another says they're "wank"🤣
