I had a Air arms 410 and 510 for years that I used mainly for pest control shooting rabbits on golf courses and horse paddocks. With a can on it they are whisper quiet One was in .22 and the other in 177... I am thinking of going getting back into the PCP game for squirrels and such

Loved mine, Benjamin Maximus, if your get one with a hand pump to fill it make super you get a moisture filter attachment , didn't for mine and end up with a air leak due to moisture getting ina ND eating up the internals. Not a hard fix though, just have gotten around to putting in the new parts. So if you can afford it get a regulated one. Non regulated ones are good but after a certain shot count per fill you'll start getting lower and lower velocity. I know with my Maximus it was around the 15rd mark out out 30 shots once it's dropp d to like 2000psi

I believe the avenger is one of the cheapest regulated pcp. I can tune it to get 120 shots before it starts dropping off. Right now I get around 85 shots per fill and can fill quickly from a scba tank.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

Next question, what caliber, thinking 22, but 25 might be more versatile?
I mean honestly with the type of shot placements you'll be taking with a air rifle a .22 is perfectly adequate out to 100yd . Good wind bucking lots of energy, good pellet selection on a local scale. ( Really nice to be able to hope over to Walmart and get some crossman when you forget to order more fancy ones) .25 is growing in popularity especially with the "slug" side of things lately but egh I feel if your staying with coon sized game and below no real need.

I almost think a pellet gun is better to have than a .22 lr.
I can and have shot all types of guns in my yard. I have gone to shooting striped gophers with the pellet rifle rather than the 22 LR. I can shoot a pellet rifle in directions I would not a 22 LR. I like it better for a yard gun.
