I would like to find an air rifle with the new gas piston technology that sports a GOOD trigger with decent, predictable let off and a pull of around 3lbs.
Would like it in .117 and able to shoot lead pellets at 1000fps (for large birds and rodents). The kicker is I'd like to be able to do this with less than $400.
Would also like iron sights. Less than $300 would be nicer yet!
After looking around the web for a couple of hours this seems like the undoable task.
Anyone got some ideas? I have an older Gamo hunter and it's a hunk of junk. Can't hit spit with it and the trigger is beyond horrible. Been warned that while several after market triggers will help, it would still not be very good.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ron

First I should admit that I'm biased. I own a Benjamin Trail NP All Weather rifle and I like it. That's why I'm recommending a Benjamin Trail NP Piton Hardwood in .22 cal;
http://wop.pyramydair.com/s/m/Benjamin_Trail_NP_Nitro_Piston_Hardwood_air_rifle/2050

It costs only $209 in USD and comes with a nice scope and shoots up to 950 fps. The .177 cal version shoots even faster.

it will exceed your $300.00 idea, but...Beeman RX series or Theoben.

i have a Beeman RX gas piston.

it has a 'REAL' trigger.
