Best PcP air rifle for beginners.

[BRS]

Another rifle that should never be overlooked is the AA200 (also sold under its Czech makers' name).

Its a simple PCP but highly accurate and very well made - it's only possible downside being the lowish volume air cylinder which equates to 'low' shot count.

airgunsproshop.com offers factory refurbished Hatsan's, I purchased a AT44 QE for about 360 In .22 there was not a mark on it and what a tack driver it is, took out a Woodchuck at 50 yards with no problem.

I agree with the post from WCTeditor, but to stay within the parameters of the OP, you could give thought to the Chinese guns. A discovery is a great gun, but it is one you will likely outgrow. The Marauder Pistol you would probably always keep, because it fills that niche of something small and light for shorter ranges.

On the Chinese front, you could look to flying dragons air rifles. I think the fdpcp with a pump and scope goes for about $360. I have one, and it is a limited gun, but it is remarkable for its price. Definitely not the coolest or most polished product, but it shoots well. You will outgrow this gun as well.
