Looking for information. I bought a beeman 22/177 pellet rifle combo from a local sporting good store with the agreement if I did not like it I could rturn it. I shot it about 150 times with 22 cal then switched to 177 cal. I am impressed with the 177. Shooting in strong winds I could connect with a pop can full of water at 65 yards. Not every shot but I felt I was the weak link not watching the wind. So should I stick with this combo or is there something else out there better for the 150.00 class first time springer buyer. I will say I am somewhat hooked. The thing is a little hard to shoot, follow thru seems critical to good results. But its kinda cool knocking starlings off and not running off the bluebirds and robins you hope to keep, unlike using a 12 ga where the report makes everthing leave. And never in my wildest imagination did I think this thing could connect with a empty 22 shell box at 65 yards, with no hold over, that is just the very definition of BA. Help a first time springer out and tell me what I should and should not do to keep a springer healthy. And if this is a keeper, or return and upgrade before the chinese thing stops working. Thanks SN
