Your very best alternative is a used Delta Wolf.
You can change calibers easily.
You can buy a .22 or .25 and a .30 Cal.
Keep watching at this site until you find the one you like and jump on it. Ask tomchange the bottle for a 700 cc.

Super trigger.
Only 25 shots per fill.

Thats my plan for my first gun. If I ever decide to spend big money I may end up buying new...

You know you're a car guy when...
You consider a carburetor a unit of price measurement!

Have you considered an RTI Prophet?
No POI-shifting drinking straw barrels.
Barrel/Caliber swap is quick.
I'm shooting 30cal with 100FPE.
For more power yet you can extend the plenum.
Left-cocking.
Love it.

Don’t count out a RAW HM1000x .30 haven’t changed in 15yrs. Very accurate, LW barrels Absolutely BULLET PROOF… drop it pick it up and you’re still on at 100yrds.
$1500 or less in classifieds “ maybe a external plenum “ as a add on but not needed. (Now practice!)

Left cocking would go against everything my body knows. HA like throwing a baseball lefty. I'm pretty sure I use my whole body to throw it like 30 foot.Have you considered an RTI Prophet?

It's actually not that bad! You can also just shoot right handed but cock with the left hand.

That’s a great deal…Wow, @Scotay42 covered literally everything I was going to type lol.
BC has their upgraded Maverick 30Cal on sale again. I would call them and see if they would take a little more off the top. But even at their listed sale price still a decent deal for a new FX imo. Even comes with some ammos.
BC Custom - Maverick Airgun Package, .30 Cal, 700mm
Elevate your precision shooting game with the BC Custom Maverick Shooters Package in .30 caliber, featuring a 700mm barrel length. This comprehensive air rifle package blends cutting-edge technology, adjustable features, and expert craftsmanship to set a new standard in precision shooting...bulletcentral.com
And for a starter compressor the GX CS3 is a good option, and is currently rebuildable which is nice. They have coupons on amazon from time to time and you can find them for just over $300 sometimes. I would also keep my eye out for a used AGT Uragan or Vulcan, FX Maverick Wildcat Impact DRS Panthera etc here in the classifieds.
ETA: To complete your package a UTG Accu-Sync mount is a sturdy budget scope mount, and pick a decent 30Cal Moderator and that should keep you right at your total budget goal. Also I wouldnt dismiss a 25Cal, a stout pcp will be able to ethically take down a coyote. My Impact MK2 does an easy 80fpe and I would use it on a coyote if I had to, and I admittedly am on the more reserved side of the hunting ethics conversation.

Here's my dollar's worth of opinions.
Pay attention to those who say to stay away from rifles that have "soda straw" barrels and point-of-impact shifts -- also known as FX barrel systems.
Do a lot more looking around and reading about other brands of rifles (non-FX) . Don't get in a big hurry to buy -- do lots of research first.
You don't have to buy an expensive PCP to get the benefit of having a PCP. An Umarex Gauntlet .30 (for example) probably shoots just as well as my FX Maverick .30 sniper with the right slug or pellet and hammer setting. The Gauntlet puts out about 98fpe at the muzzle -- the same as how I have my Mav set up. The Mav has set me back a crap-ton of time and money just to be a reasonable shooting rifle. My buddy was happily shooting ground squirrels at up to 208 yards with an Air Venturi Avenger .25 while waiting for the Mav to get the latest and greatest band-aid mod -- the band-aid fix-up mods went on for over a year -- that's the REAL rabbit hole.
Good luck.

Welcome to the best AGN
I think you have it correct do your home work now while you get 10 days , looks to me the 10 conversational posts will not be any concern.
FX guns can be complicated , to be a great gun all the adjustments must be balanced .

AGT Uragan 3, Taipan Veteran II Tactical, BRK Ghost, RAW HM1000X, these were the options I choose to consider after selling my Maverick. I bought the Ghost and it is amazing. Just watch out for the FX marketing hype. Good luck to you!

I've got a slightly modified Maverick VP .25, I wanted the 600mm barrel, it does 1 minute of ground squirrel at 100 yards. Also 1 MOA without wind. After the normal trials and tribulations, it's literally take it out of the case, and shoot.

Rant mode ON; This POI stuff with FX is PURE BS. Case in point, Tues, took my Mav. 600 out of its case, tried a few different pellets and all were within 1/2" of where it was a month ago. Tried the AEA's it's tuned for and back to center. Put it in the case, Wed morning went to my permission, placed my reactive target at 70 yards, a 4" a 2" and a 1" , got set up, 33.9 AEA's 4" solid hit, 2" solid hit, 1" solid hit, spun it around, good to go. I keep my guns in hard cases because my garage is a damn mess and when I transport them in the back of my car they don't flop around, plus because it a SUV out of sight, out of mind. Oh and the same applies to my Maverick Compact. Key is to have them properly assembled, don't count on FX to do it. Oh and I've had issues with a literally, hand build American rifle. /R that far hitching post is 100 yards, the fence is 130 yards, out 70 yards is my target. I shoot off of a table then switch to my tripod.
