I have been searching for weeks for the best rifle under my budget now, and I am tired lol. Anytime I find a good that I like, i read a review from some1 that says it sucks. Max I can spend is $500 or less. I really like those air rifle, because they are easy to fill " hand pump, or compressor". My gun must be .20 or .22 caliber more than that its to loud and bigger the pellets more they cost. Must be quiet also, or at least not loud. A scope with the gun will be a plus but, if not included its OK. I will be hunting mostly : rabbits, small-medium size hogs, or birds. I have my eyes on the .22 cal marauder, but i have doubts that i might spend almost $500 for a gun when I can buy another one for the same price but much better "accuracy, powers, and better look". That's why I would really appreciate any help from an expert, or someone with lots of experience. Thanks for wasting your time reading my noob question.   Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2011 5:07 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands How much does an Air Arms S400/S410 cost over there? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2011 10:48 am rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Disco with pump and a 3-9 scope with AO....

What do you think about thi selection?? 1. Evanix Rainstorm PCP 2. Air Arms TX200 MkIII All are .22cal 3. Benjamin Marauder Any suggestion? Thanks.   Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:08 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC The MRod is without pump, so you have to add some way to fill it.... In addition, the .22 cal have a poor reputation for accuracy.... For your budget ($500 including scope if possible) I don't think you will find another option.... including a pump / tank....

Even if i go up to $600, still cant find something really worth it!   Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2011 6:50 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Quote: car starter that has an air compressor and it puts out at least 3000 psi?.... Please let us know all about it as there is a huge market for something like that for airgunners.... What brand, price, pressure output, CFM, etc?.... Links?....

The compressor you linked to has an output of 120 psi.... PCPs are filled to a minimum of 2000 psi in the case of the Disco.... all others are 2500-3000 psi.... with a few big-bores requiring 4500 psi....
