Hi all
What sort of price should I pay for a very good condition used TDR about 6 years old I think
Cheers
Kevin

Between four fifty to five fifty at a guess Kev. Others may be more precise! Does it have the case with it? Or a scope?

Been after one a while myself, saving slowly!

They're a great gun, I've fired the .22.

Good luck.

The TDR normally go for about 450 to 500 Quid although, it all depends on what extras come with the rifle eg, scope, charging gear etc.

at gun shops, prices could be higher as secondhand guns normally get sold with the scope etc.

The TDR is a superb piece of kit indeed and is without a doubt, my favorite air rifle and gets used the most out of all my rifles because of the light weight and easy handling and the ease of transportation.

I bought a 3 year old .177 and paid £500.00. That was from Dave at Staffordshire Custom Rifles, keep an eye on his website as he gets them in now and again.

JEESUS H CHEERIST, I`d no idea that rifle cost so much new, I thought you guys were joking with your 2nd hand valuations, sounds fair enough now though, BUT!!
at that age, I`d wanna know what kind of life it`s had, I`d like to know what kind/amount of use it`s had & try & work out (OK roughly) how many pellets it
has fired & I`d wanna know how many shots the transfer port & other mechanicals can handle without attention, I`d be looking for an opinion from someone who`s shot a lot of pellets through theirs & could give me a trusted green light on a heavily used one?? Zippy?
I`d wanna try it out thoroughly & be absoloutely certain it`s not a squib, for that money, dam right I would!
sorry if I sound a bit of a damp squib myself, but that`s a hell of a lot of money for a 2nd hand 6 year old rifle, hell of a gun mind you!

I Bought my TDR brand new so no worries for me in regards to condition and wear ect.

I do admit I would indeed be very sceptical and wary of buying secondhand these days with what I have seen over the years, there are some very dodgy and terrible condition secondhand guns out there, that have also been messed with and some cases buggered up. So please be very careful if purchasing one secondhand.

Most of my gear was bought brand new because it's my hobby and worth it for me, as I will use it and keep it.

Just be very careful when buying guns secondhand, as who? knows what has to be pushed down the barrel when cleaning by idiots and damaging the delicate crown on the barrel.

It would pay to buy a second hand one from a friend that purchased it from new.
Any other purchase would be more risky.

I purchased a SE88 from a well respected guy and when I tested the rifle it played up.
The sale and purchase was all in good faith and I continued with the purchase at my risk
I still haven't stripped it down...but I did get it for a song

i bought mine from BAR, i had the choice of either a brand new one of a second hand one from a reliable source.
I chose the second hand one even though it was £400 and have never looked back, great rifle
