Quietest, and most accurate

[daddypaddy]

to me, springers are like wine in way that it’s a style of shooting that is acquired over time while pcp are like craft beer, lots of choices in the same price range but much easier appreciate and explore. i like wine but i like beer more than i like wine.

This thread, like several others of recent, are opinion threads. The OP asked for the quietest and most accurate air rifle and IMO that is not a spring gun. We all give our opinions based on our life experiences. I have discovered PCPs. I appreciate your opinion that you are satisfied with your springer for your purposes but I would not be for my purposes. If you quote a person you can expect a response, agreeing or disagreeing, just saying. I am happy for you that you enjoy your rifle.

I like my Crown better for accuacy anyways.
I just wouldn't discount the ease and satisfaction of a good springer.

Springers were a taste i never fully acquired. The stop, fold, load and find your target again was just annoying.

And I like good, well aged pinot noir and good Belgian ales.

As someone who bought a springer for their first "high-end" air rifle, I would definitely recommend going with a PCP instead. There were several better performing options I could have gotten for the same amount of money, even with a pump included in the total.

I bought two PCP failures before I finally dug way down in my wallet and bought a Crown. Then I was finally satisfied.
With help here at AGN he shouldn't have that problem.
