N/A Best PCP Under $500
- Thread starter Northwoods
- Start date
Pinty bullpup,beeman underlever regulated they’re both around $200 and you’ll get 30+ shots with good power and both of them are easy to fill with a pump or a small portable compressor

Just search for notos on here and… if you want to buy used you may get a bargain and get a gun that’s 1-2 tiers above the boots and the like. But in the low budget category there hasn’t been anything that beats the notos for some time now…

For shots mostly 30yds and under, an Umarex Notos is tough to beat like greebeans said but if shooting farther out, it's bigger brother the Zelos.

22Cal great choice for all around use. I would take a look at this list, and always check AirGun Revisions Bargain page to see if he has any of the Benjamin Heritage series in stock. They are the best deal on the internet when available.

Umarex Notos and Zelos, also the AV Avenger is not bad either, I own these guns and highly recommend them.

Lots of great options for $500 and under.
"PCP" is a broad description. Would you prefer bullpup, carbine, morph (pistol to carbine)? Traditional or tactical? Do you prefer wood or composite? Single shot or repeater? Are you going to hand pump or plan to buy a compressor? Do you have minimum/maximum weight requirements? Power or shot count? Do you need a quiet gun? Bottled or tube?
As you can see, lots of door choices to walk through.

Heck, for that matter a Fortitude and a low end compressor would fit the bill.. the $500 bill that is..

I have a Benjamin Maximus in .22 which will hit eggs consistently using a red dot at 40 yards. I also have a Gauntlet 2 in .25 that will do even better with a scope. The Maximus is smaller, lighter and has a smaller air tank while Gauntlet is bigger and heavier but if I’m shooting more than 30 yards the Gauntlet is a better choice. On the few occasions I have to deal with pests I require a one shot kill and the Gauntlet has that ability at greater distances.

I do love the NOTOS. A true piledriver at 25m. Very reliably and uncomplicated. I do love the Hatsan Jet for many reasons, but there are some issues, like need a new striker pin every 500 rounds or so. Also, the Umarex Komplete for about $150 is great, especially if you add a pcp air tank. It's regulated with 975 fps and 25 ft/lbs for the .22cal.
