If u decide to give pcp s a try I would highly suggest the Benjamin Maximus hunter in .22.
U get a lot of gun for not a lot of money and it comes with a very usable mil dot scope and descent rings
these guns are very accurate and very lightweight. They are a bit loud in stock form but the hunter model is threaded for an ldc so u can just add that on without any mods to the rifle
another nice thing about the Maximus is there are upgrades out there for it so u can upgrade it to your liking as u get better at shooting it
and it's an easy gun to work on very user friendly
Yes it will require a hand pump or tank to fill it but it's an easy gun to fill only holding 2000 psi Very doable with a hand pump
we use ours for cottontail and squirrel hunting and 40 yd kills are no problem It's a great entry level pcp for the budget minded hunter
we really dig ours

If you were to get the Benjamin Maximus which as mentions only requires 2000 psi you might consider instead of an hand pump getting an LE or ( Life Extended) 4500 psi tank CF tank. I see Pyramid Air sells a variety of sizes. They have a 45 cu ft size with 10 years life left on it and it comes with the fill assembly for $354.99 . For the Maximus it would give your rifle about 77 fills before the CF tanks need refilling. That would save your back from hand pumping, get you a rifle that weighs 5 lbs instead of 7 to 9 lbs. for a spring gun. This pcp rifle would be much easier to shoot accurately and more fun with not having to break the barrel to cock and load. Bill
