It finally arrived!

So I've been just occasionally plinking with my .177 SMK SYNXS for the last 7 odd years, which is absolutely buggered. It's been truly abused even before I bought it from a friend, and it is now at a point where I just can't get it zeroed and it's been rattle-canned so it looked hideous.

I don't want to break the bank, just make it so I can use real targets and actually work on my groupings and just, generally start of casually shooting.

I'm at the around £250-£300 price point, and I really like these magazine fed break barrels. (PCP's aren't interesting me currently, but if I get more into this I will probably look at one.) Wooden furniture also is a must for me.

I've narrowed down to these two, the Maxxim Elite Swam and Varmint Swarm both seem to fit the bill, but I'm torn between spring and gas ram, and if the Maxxim is much better in any other way.

They seem a great pair to compare but I haven't found any videos online or general comparisons between the two. (This could be because I'm an incapable idiot.)

Which of these would you go for? Are there any other multi-shot break barrels you would recommend at the same price? I've seen better reviews of the Varmint, so is the spring better than gas ram at this price point?

(UK so sub-12ftlb)

Thanks!
