- Get a catalog from Beemans Air Rifle (?? I think that's the name of
- the company); You should be able to find an ad for them in most
- sporting magazines. They have a pretty good selection, and are
- apt to have any US made air rifles (it's been a few years since I
- dealt with them, but I had no complaints :-). I think they currently
- market a fairly _hot_ item, pushing up around 1100 fps in the .177 size.
- I do recommend a spring airgun, rather than a pump... Low maintainence
- and very consistant.
