Air gunner new here

[NEJD150]

New to the forum and dedicated air gunnin. Avid pewpew owner though..... At least until that tragic boating accident lol.

Currently looking to break into the backyard pesting arena. Current choice on the block is the Urban. Previously wanted the Arrow or Swarm Gen 3, however, thanks to the into on here I've settled on that Urban. I want quiet so I'm steering clear off bb guns. I'd like a marauder but for now I think the Urban will do for my needs.

Welcome aboard! If you'd mention your budget, distance of your "shooting arena", preference of caliber, etc. you might get some suggestions for things you might not be aware of. Enjoy the ride!

I wanna stay below $400 which is why I decided on the Urban. Eventually I wanna get something I can tweak a lot to my taste like the marauder maybe. Accurate tack driver out to 30-50 is ideal. I got starlings and squirrels and chipmunks raiding my bird feeders n the like.

I have a Crosman Optimus bb, but my word! That thing is just as loud as a 22LR

If there's a comparable break barrel as quiet as the Urban I'd be willing to accept all advice y'all got

If you are not shooting past 40yds, an Umarex Notos will fill your needs and is hand pump friendly.

Accurate & reliable?

Yes, reports are that the Notos is both accurate and dependable. Reports on the trigger are not as positive. It is built by SPA who built my 3 P35s which are my favorites. They are all both accurate and dependable. But P35s (and the almost identical Stoeger Bullshark) are over $400. SPA makes the Ranger and Scout which are similar but are not bullpups and are less expensive. Airgun Revisions is one place to get them. My P35s required adjustment but now have crisp triggers of about 1 lb. My guess is Scouts and Rangers can be adjusted similarly.

Yes, but like said below the trigger assembly might need a little polishing if you want a smoother lighter trigger. I find my trigger to be good enough for my ratting endeavors! They are accurate , quiet and fun right out of the box.
