N/A Please recommendations please for very accurate target .177 or .22 air rifle for an adult....up to $600 max

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Good morning, speaking from personal experience, two straight-shooting relatively inexpensive ($200-500) PCP .22's you might want to look at are the Gamo Urban .22 (has a built-in moderator) and the Air Venturi Avenge-X (no affiliation with either). I strongly suggest you also consider getting an electric air pump for whatever you get. I have hand-pumped both up from 0 PSI and it can be time consuming and mildly strenuous. Both dead on in the 10 to 20 yard space that I hunt rats. Good luck, it can be a lot of fun.

First of all i would like to thank everyone on this forum who've taught me so much and introduced me to this sport.
Health/injury has left me mostly home bound but i really enjoy shooting and have good fundamentals from years of competitive pistol and long range rifle.

I would like to find a quiet air rifle that is very accurate.
I thought the smaller calibers might be best as it will only be used on paper targets and sound levels are of critical importance. I plan to purchase a moderator in the future as well.
Hoping if possible to limit the search to a new air rifle so i don't have to worry about seals etc for some time.

I spoke with my better half and I think we can afford up to apx. $600 for the rifle.
I would probably purchase on Black Friday to take advantage of any sales....and by then i should have recovered enough from some surgery.

As always I appreciate your suggestions.

How far is your targets ? If limited to 50 or 75 feet paper, single stroke pellet rifles are a great choice.

As a follow up to what Jim D and MongooseV8 said. I have a Stoeger Bullshark, a bullpup and find it to very accurate at 40 yards which is as far as I have shot. Stoeger rifles have a 5 year warranty. Any problem and they replace the rifle with a new one. I had a problem with the baffles in the barrel having owned the gun for almost a year. I sent it to Stoeger U.S. in Maryland. They sent me a new one. They even paid the shipping. The Scout and Ranger are getting good reviews. AirGun Revisions are good people to do business with.

A Crossman Challenger in .177 if you can find one used or on sale! Although there are many PCP's that are not too expensive that are very accurate. An Umarex Zelos in .22 comes to mind also. Have fun researching and hopefully shooting soon.

Keep your air source in mind when budgeting. A hand pump is very economical, and the cheaper Chinese ones work fine for the price. Generally, anything that fills to over 3k psi, or larger bottle volume is going to be a workout and take a long time. At a certain point you need a scuba tank or compressor and I would guess most modern guns are in this territory. A Benjamin Marauder with a hand pump will do just fine. Check airgun revisions like everyone has recommended.
