Cheap quiet and accurate... Enough

[Raden1942]

 Howdey folks thanks for all your help in the past. I am currently looking for a springer or gas ram rifle that has these requirements. #1 and most importantly it must be quiet. I mean quiet as hell. I will be ising this primarily for backyard plinking and my niegbors are jerks. #2 must be 22 cal because 25 magnum springers are too loud and expensive to shoot. #3 needs to be under 200 bucks. So I dont need a magnum springer but 12fpe or above please. I will hunt rabbit occasionally and accuracy means more than power to me. Pyramid air reccomended crosman valiant for about 170 bucks and it comes with a target of some kind i think. What else would be good. Thanks guys you rock.

Benjamin Prowler .22 (~$100 @ Wally World)

Benjamin Summit NP2. NOT the Summit Ranger which is unshrouded. The Summit NP2 in .22 is a very good gun in a traditional style stock for ~$200. The Valiant is a wood thumb hole stock, the Summit is a black synthetic that will survive the End Times and the Thousand Year Reign.

I've not found my 12fpe guns (HW97 or Crosman Nitro Venom) to be quiet at all; I returned a Summit Ranger 1200 fps because it was just loud! A "friend" let me try two 1400 fps (Gamo/Benjamin) guns with whisper tech/sbd; but, they were even louder.



I recommend that you look for a PCP or check out the loudness rating on air guns, getting a "2" rated gun, since my 3s and 4s are definitely NOT quiet. Now, they may be quieter than others; but, they are not quiet. Look for something under 1000 fps, perhaps even in the 600-700 fps for a .177.



Best of luck!

I'm just returning to air-gunning after quite a few decades. My last experience was with a metal Crossman pellet revolver with two interchangeable barrels which I used on metal targets in my basement. There are so many options available today for BB or pellet. I've already purchased a couple examples of the former type and can't wait to start using both.

Stoeger X20S2.

Cheap, quiet, accurate, and easy to cock. Add a Charliedatuna trigger blade and it becomes a real nice backyard plinker/pester.

Walther Terrus .22 has a 1/2 thread on the end for a silencer quiet and accurate...

Well, if you want quiet and accurate, I can recommend the Marauder .177 cal. It is a PCP, and will be a little over $200 used, but it is the gold standard for quiet, and a tack driver with the right pellet. I have shot it in the back yard and the neighbor couldn't tell I shot it. It is easy to pump with a hand pump and will dispatch varmints quickly. The only sound you can hear outside is the sound of the pellet on the target.

I have a maurader .177 field and target. Its great. I was looking for a springer. I want something i can beat around. Thtow in the car with a tin of pellets and not worry about air source. So i will check out stoeger and prowler is cool except rediculously loud. Thanks guys. 

 

[Raden1942]

Hmm I found a threaded end cap for Benjamin 392. I might go that way.

Raden.......if you want 'quiet' in a springer (non-pcp) and have 'those kind of neighbors'..you won't find a quieter springer than HW30/R7.......and you're looking to plink and maybe take a rabbit/vermin up to 30 yards....and you want to be proud of it, and it's beautiful (not a beater)...and it's one of the most accurate factory springers out there ....and it's not hold sensitive.....and its short and light...and your kids can handle it too with your wife....(I can go on but...)....look at a light/small HW-30 177 (you don't need 22 and you don't need 12 fpe by your description)....Pyramid has refurb for 250 as does AOA. Resale will be close to what you purchase it for 6 months or 6 years from now.

Keep in mind that the Prowler is also much harder to cock than the NP2/Elite models. Now that the NP Elite models have come down in price, I wouldn't buy another Prowler.

I like the hw 30 idea alot. I was looking for a small light hw but I don't know much about thier line. The hw 97 is a dream gun of mine tho. I think I will go that route. Right on. 

 

[c_m_shooter]

DanD on the Gateway forum has an HW97 for sale with a 12ft lb kit in it. I have been hoping someone would buy it so I am not tempted to get another.

....in addition......they are really selling 'for cheap' at AOA the basturdized stainless look 30.....I bought one.....just gorgeous...understand they are almost out....I bring it up secondary to the rust resistance of the plating since you want a 'truck'gun. 

 

[Raden1942]

Yeah I can get a brand new hw97 for 350 bucks plus 30 shipping so thats something I will buy new. Sorry looks like another airgun is in your future. Hope u like sleeping on the couch.
