Quietest, and most accurate

Accuracy with a springer takes a lot of practice, especially with hold. With PCP's it's usually on the shooter for pin point accuracy. If your budget allows, I would go the PCP route, much more enjoyable shooting and accuracy wise as well as a more quiet report with a moderator.

PCP is more enjoyable?
Why do I grab a springer more often than a pcp, or pumper, or CO2 gun then?
I guess I'm lazy?
I don’t feel like pulling the compressor out, making room for the gun to charge, waiting on this noisy compressor, hoping the compressor makes it, and doesn't wind up in my dead compressor stack.
Accuracy in PCP is better?
I have three PCP's, and my springers, or pumpers will out shoot two of them.
I do shoot them, but concider them a bit more of a commitment on a lesser scale similar to my powder burners, 👍

Thanks for all the advice! I appreciate it. Low budget is not my #1 priority, but I'm not quite ready to jump into a $1.5k - $3K gun up front either. Love the look of that Daystate Revere! Maybe someday... Did lots of research and ended up going the PCP route and ordering an Air Venturi Avenger with wood stock. Seems like a good compromise between cost and performance for a first gun. Now trying to figure out what to do for a compressor and a moderator.

I've been shooting and hunting all my life, but never with airguns. Do you advise starting with a simple break barrel rifle, or jumping right into PCP with all the related paraphernalia?

Main use would be for general plinking and target shooting, marksmanship training, perhaps some small pest control and light hunting. I'm not a competitive shooter, but accuracy is important and would like to be able to consistently achieve 1" groups at 30 - 50 yards with practice. I prefer classic looking rifles over the modern chassis/bullpup/AR styles. I also need back yard friendly noise levels, and this might be the most important thing. It needs to be as QUIET as possible. Cost isn't the biggest concern, but is a factor. I know break barrels are simpler and cheaper. But what is the quietest and most accurate without making a huge commitment?

Everything talked about so far , are higher prices guns . One inch @ 30 yards is fairly easy . i do a lot less than that @ 30 yards ,1/4 inch and i shoot Springers , TX 200 12.25 FPE in .177 . Good for rabbits and Squirrel , Ground hog but iffy for Fox . Now for what you would spend for a TX200 ( $700 /$800 you could buy a PCP that could fill your needs ,. I am not going to suggest any (PCP )because i don't own any that do not cost in the 1k /2k + area .

EDIT im late again .

My, by far, most quiet setup that fits your description as to what you like: Dreamline classic .22 with a mod. Doesn’t really matter which, even the empty FX can coming with the impact makes it dead silent. May also be due to the tune (meaning how quiet it is), it’s sitting at 100b shooting Hades at 900fps. If it would ever produce a 1 inch group at 50 yards I’d be mad :) all you hear is the hammer hitting the valve and then the pellet hitting the target.

Avenger is always a good choice.

They are out of the Long but the Avenger should work just fine with the shorter.

Just filling a gun, Yong Heng, reliable and under $200. Much faster than the "shoebox" compressors .
