To start off with I will admit it has been a Very long time since I have trolled this market... (the 300.00 to 800.00 range)
Sure I could be called a snob I guess since the cheapest airgun I currently own cost $1999.00 as a "naked" gun..
Reason for looking :
1) I have a Very large family get together coming up June 9-12....so the quest has begun
2) with that said i have started looking into the so called budget, mid-priced guns as I want somewhat of a "friends and family" gun so i don't have stand over them like a father on his daughter's prom night while they are shooting my prized high end guns.
I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the offerings, seems Most of the guns in this category are getting Way overpriced for what they are, or maybe my criteria is just impossible at this price point.??
So here is what I Absolutely Can Not deal with :
1) the infamous twang, poing, doing that seem to plaque them
2) bad or just down right awful triggers
3) barrel lottery
I thought i was on to something with the Hatsan Factor RC until i saw the ridiculous price of $999.00, you got to be out your mind!
So I am asking the community for assistance in my quest.
You see above what I do Not want.
Here is a loose perimeter of what will work
1) preferably .22
2) Quiet or abililty to add moderator
3)accurate out to 30 yards
4) decent shot count, minimum 60+ plus per fill, would like more if possible
5) Decent trigger
6) regulated
7) High end of budget=$800.00
I prefer to buy something New as opposed to the used market since it has pretty much lost it's mind too..
Thanks guys, I have become bleary eyed looking and hoping i just missed something...
