since I have not shot bh209, if and only if your not wanting to invest that much into starting out. I say an CVA Wolf. if I remember right it also shots bh209 pretty good. but it is also a good rifle for how much it cost. have not shot one. but my bother in law and oldest nephew have one. I have seen how well they shot. maybe spend $300 on scope and rifle. rest of the money on bullets and powder.
