All depends what the application is. But I’m sure I could find something good for 1k cheaper and spend the rest on pellets.

Glad that you like that sort of thing, maybe you can find some local people to shoot with. Hold your own competitions.
My interest in competitive sports was killed when I played junior hockey as kid. Too much emphasis was placed on winning, it wasn't fun when friends became enemies willing to hurt you just for a stupid game.
Competition against others is not my thing, I don't even watch sports.
I have no problem with competition as it make one try harder and there's a benefit to having something/someone to measure your skill against. I shoot in the backyard, keep track of my scores and am very serious about improving them - no traveling required.
Each to their own eh!
Cheers!

For 100yard benchrest I would look at the guns that do well in competition.
In no particular order:
Red Panda
Skout
Impact
Red Wolf/Delta Wolf
Ghost
AAA
I'm sure I missed some. My personal choice goes to the SKOUT guns. So easy to service, excellent electronic trigger, and easy barrel removal for cleaning etc. No easier gun to make caliber changes with.

There's a competition in Oregon in the beginning of May
Skout is one of the sponsors for the match and they are bringing their team to compete
Nice variety of Rifles being shot for the 100 yard Pellet and the 100 yard slug competition
might give you an idea of what you might want to try out

I think I'd try to find a Black wolf. You might get one for that.
Second would be the M4, I had an X and an M3 and despite all the complaining, they were stellar. Come to think of it, I'd be happy with an M2 with a pp for pellets only, fantastic rifle.

I feel like I need an impact cuz it’s the ruger 10/22 of airguns.. I feel like everyone in this game needs an impact.
Yet the red panda looks so sweet and their winning competitions lately.
Next would be the evo and the alpha wolf. I wish I could spend $12000 and get them all!!

Depends on my need for the gun. Bench guns are heavy on purpose. Hunting rigs should be lighter. What am I shooting? Animals, paper, steel or cans. What distance? There's many other options in that range as well. Also many that can do the same including an optic and accessories. No disrespect to the question but it's too vague to answer just on the original question.

I had the urge to compete, and still do, but it did not take long to discover that I needed to compete with myself and become satisfied with the results before heading to a competition and humiating myself. I am still a long way from being consitant enough to compete with others. But thats just me.

I think the Crown would be more of the 10/22 of airguns. Nothing against the impact, just a lot of things to fiddle with on it. My old 10/22 was just load it and shoot it.

Please don't be discouraged and not "compete" by the belief you will be humiliated. Far from it. I really enjoy shooting with the new shooters. I'm sure everyone who has competed in some form of an air gun discipline will have a story of their scores at their first few matches.
The best place to learn to improve your scores is to shoot with others who have experience. The vast majority of experienced shooters are very willing to share their knowledge and experiences with the new shooters. Get out there and meet some folks who have the same interests and your scores will go up faster than trying to figure everything out on your own.

Have you looked at the Epic Two or AGT Uragan 3? Both of those airguns can be configured to suit your long range bench rest shooting.

The answer to your question is what is winning at the competitions with pro shooters. Matt Dubber has been shooting the DRS Pro for the last couple of years, and Noor won RMAC with the Red Panda this year.100 yd benchrest would be my priority.

Karma and DonnyFL have the same owners, great quality, great CS, for 100 yds, get it in .25 or .30
