Ok, thanks everybody for your expertise and comments.
I think my major issue was paying $600-1000 for an “air rifle” thinking I could just get another AR or Sig for the same price as venturing in to a realm which I know nothing about. I hope I’m over that. I was comparing apples to oranges.
I ended up ordering a Benjamin armada ( BTAP25sx ) and a hand pump. It should be a good jumping off point I think but still needs lots of advice.
I almost went with the Brocock Compatto but with a suppressor and scope it would have been quite a bit more and figured I should ease in to this new hobby.
Now I have even more questions, lol.
1. Is a desiccant attachment needed for a hand pump?
2. What is an economical air tank for refills ( how many fill per tank size)
3. Is a cheap Chinese compressor ok for fills ( and is a dessicant filter necessary)?
4. Scuba tanks or not ( used or not)?
5. Why am I asking so many questions and over complicating this?
Thanks everyone,
Steve
