Any users with recommendations? Looking for.177 or.22 budget model.

Bought a Barra 1100z PCP from Cabelas a couple months ago for $250 +
$80 more for hand pump. Got mine in 22 caliber. It’s an awesome gun for the money, very accurate once I found the pellets it liked and fun to shoot. It’s fairly quiet but I opted to buy a suppressor ($40) for it which really quieted it down. Had to play with PSI a little to find the sweet spot for accuracy, can get 18-20 shots starting at 2800psi before it starts dropping. Couple minutes with hand pump and it’s ready to go again.
Buddy has a BENJAMIN MARAUDER in 17 caliber and it’s far quieter and very accurate.
In general a 17 will be quieter then the bigger calibers as it takes less air.

Air venturi avenger .22

50 yard group



The marauder is pretty good too however it's not regulated.

Gamo Urban

Nice group AT! They take special scopes?

Deadly accurate. Mine is only the17 and not quiet. Equal to a 22 short. Not sure if silencer is legal here, really never considered it for air powered gun but it does make sense......jk

Normal rifle scopes work fine on pcps

Not sure about state laws but Airgun suppressors are not federally regulated so no background check needed. Had mine in less than a week from when I ordered it.

I have a Benjamin discovery. I bought it for my son years ago. I really like it. .22 caliber. Only need to pump it to 2500 psi. Makes it a little easier when pumping by hand.

Own RAW 22 cal shooting 25.38 gr pellets , 980- 1000 FPS, has a 1 lb trigger, shots lights out to 75 yds, shots hole in hole groups out to 50 yds off my bench and opens up to over 1.5 at 100 squirrels, rabbits, coons, ground hogs dead meat , went to couple PPC matches and was able to shot and look at several PCP rifles, went with RAW made in Texas, good warranty

Hard to beat a Benjamin Marauder. I have a .22 and a .25. Almost silent and very accurate.

Thanks for the info!
