First Time Buyer Question

I'm with @Michigander. Keep the 30 because you will absolutely wish you still had it in a year or two and prices are just going up...

If you're looking for raw power and still maintaining a reasonable amount of accuracy in a springer, grab yourself an HW80 and drop in a power tune kit. That should net you a modest 22fpe in .22 and extend your range significantly once you get your holds down. Personally, I prefer a .22 97K long range springer action. Tuned to 17fpe, they are pretty spot on out to 100yds or so.
