    N/A Budget pcp hand pump pistol recommendations.

    Yes a break barrel rifle would be cheap and perfect for my needs but it needs to be a pistol.

    N/A Budget pcp hand pump pistol recommendations.

    No i dont want to spend more than that. It appears to be about 250$ Im sure it would do the job. I would consider a used one if thats an option. Cheaper is better.

    N/A Budget pcp hand pump pistol recommendations.

    I see there is an older thread on this question but maybe opinions are changed now. Looking for lower priced pcp pistol with hand pump for varmint control such as possum. Not long range, just needs to be better than my crosman p1322 which has a stated 460 fps. Im using crosman premier hollow...

    Air pistol question, pellets, more power.

    I got it in California. The box says 460 fps

    Air pistol question, pellets, more power.

    I see, lighter pellet = more speed. Would there be better penetration with the lighter faster pellet ?

    Yes thank you, he has a lot of stuff. Not sure what the components would cost all together. Maybe i would do better looking at a new more powerful gun.

    Air pistol question, pellets, more power.

    All i know is that the package says 460 fpm. I also use 10 pumps. Im seeing my pellets bounce off small varmints at close range. How did you get 620 fps from your gun or is that the normal stock output ?

    Air pistol question, pellets, more power.

    Hello, I have a crossman p1322 22cal air pistol. Unfortunately it doesn't have the power i need. Im using crosman premier hollow point 14.3 gr. Pellets and they do not penetrate well. Can someone recommend a better pellet for this gun ? Also i want to know if there is a more powerful pellet...

    Recommendation for . 22 igt

    The fact is that the cheap stuff probably suits my current needs the best, varmints at 20 yards and plinking. Im seeing the crosman shockwave c52sxs in .22 with noise suppression and both fixed sights and scope for 113 bucks at amazon and walmart. Thats cheap. Gamo whisper with scope and no...

    Recommendation for . 22 igt

    Yes thats over budget and doesnt seem to have any sound dampening, although i dont know how effective those are at actually limiting the noise. Also im reading that the gas piston is able to be kept charged longer than spring models before firing.

    Recommendation for . 22 igt

    Yes i see a lot of reviews that agree with you on the scope issue. Im not sure i really want the scope at all. That time it takes to focus and align through a scope could be missed opportunity. Im wondering if there is something with peep sights that could have a scope installed later if i...

    Recommendation for . 22 igt

    Hello i new to air rifles, i had purchased a crossman p1322 air pistol but it was far weaker than i thought it would be. Now im looking at igt powered rifles such as gamo whisper. There are lots of choices and its hard to know which way is best. I see some have numerous complaints about scopes...
