Re: Best gun under $300.. HELP!

What you're loking for according to your post is a 110cm, and this is the best in the price range IMHO. I have two of these guns in the 120cm and 77cm sizes, but they are the type with a traditional muzzle (the double circular muzzle was not yet available when I bought my guns). All I can say: fantastic: extremely accurate, sturdy, durable and very well balanced. With a 110 you can expect up to 5 meters of accurate range.
The trigger and its mechanism are ALL stainless steel, tested up to 250 kilograms of traction (consider that an average european type band pulls just 50 kilograms: plenty of strength on this trigger), very strong and smooth. The line release is also stainless steel and its "independent" from the trigger mech (so that the line release won't affect the smoothness of the trigger even if the line is very tightly stretched.
The handle: the upper part of the handle (called the "cassette", or castello in italian), is made fo metal, not plastic. Also every pin and screw is stainless steel.
The barrell: this is a unique barrell. the inner alluminium tube (normal 28mm) is coated with a rubbersome polyurethane foam, shaped ellyptical, for a very smooth side swinging of the gun, and very stealthy to (makes no noise in contact with rocks et cetera). This way, the gun has big mass and very low recoil without being heavy. There's also a rail for 3/5 length of the barrell.
The muzzle: holds two circular bands, with a very fine no-screws wishbone. The ring for keeping the reel line tight is also made of stainless steel.
The reel is simply one of the best available.
The shaft: very hard and elastic steel with sharkfin tips and invisible flopper.
