Vulcan2 30 vs impactX 30 long

Kinda where I’m sitting. Fairly straight forward decision now I think, so new thread. Info on both welcome, but I really NEED info on the Vulcan. Which one to get? Less open ended than my first post so should be easier to argue your side. Two word responses fine, but a lot of money on the line here, so feel free to put up a long winded rant. I promise I’ll read it.

Doc, I own 3 thirty caliber air rifles, this includes the Impact X .30 cal with the 700mm barrel. None of these rifles get any use -- I live in a subdivision and the report and pellet impact on a target arouses too much attention. For those reasons I prefer the .25 caliber Vulcan 2 Tactic and the FX Impact X .25 caliber with 700mm barrel.

The Vulcan is a mighty fine rifle, accurate and ergonomic, a veritable workhorse. However, truth be told, I enjoy shooting the Impact more. I believe the reason for this is the easy accessibility of the tuning mechanisms - i.e. the power wheel (hammer spring adjuster), the regulator and valve adjustment. I get a rush target shooting on my 20 yard basement range and hearing a pellet producing 55-58fpe strike a target. Then, when dispatching the occasional bird feeder bandit 45fpe at 30 - 40 yards is sufficient, and the neighbors are never-the-wiser.

Don't torture self over this. Eventually you will own both guns.


 
Lol. Yea. Probably. I do plan to eventually have at least 3 guns. One of these two above, a Lelya 2.0 in 22 or 25, and a hm1000x 357. We’ll debate which small gun and which large gun I end up with in the future. For now need a middle ground all purpose. Not concerned with report that much. Quieter is better from a hunting perspective of course, but I’m not going to have any neighbor issues. Most of my neighbors will be shooting burners and making fun of me. “Oh man why in the (insert profanity of choice) would u spend 2k on a damn pellet gun when u could get a nice AR for that?” I’ve heard this at least 30 times in the last year while researching them. 
 
I hear that all the time to about just getting an "AR'. I have AR's in my collection i just do not want to spend $300 per thousand rounds and (thats cheap end). By the way 1000 rounds go fast in AR if one really use it as intended and im not talking about bench shooting. 

Sorry off target with intended subject. I just laugh when folks spend $1000+ a year on ammo on one rifle (and I am one of them) but laugh at buying a $1000-2000 pcp.
 
I’ve already got powder burners too. Plenty. But if I’m going to walk around pesting which I can do where I’m at, even though all the surrounding houses belong to my family members who shoot a lot, I don’t necessarily WANT to make all of the noise I can. Plus I want to hunt rabbits at night and shoot rats at the chicken pens at night. Don’t want to be waking everyone up. Or popping squirrels n coons off my deer feeder without blowing out the woods. When I was a kid my best friend was my air rifle. I’m just partial to them. Their tune will definitely change once I’m popping starlings at 100yds and killing the neighborhood hogs that tear up all their yards at night. The pests have had it easy since I moved away. I’m moving home soon. They better get ready.
