You’ve got a $1000 budget ….

I would say watch the classified section here and find a great deal. Many guns would work for what you stated that you want. If it isn’t quiet enough you can always add the DonnyFL of your choice. Most Daystate, brocock or FX models will be at or above you price range but will usually be able to meet or exceed your expectations. An FX Dreamline of some flavor might be a good starting point.

AEA makes some cheap and powerful guns that we are all interested in but only a few have made that leap to test the waters. Most of them aren’t quiet though without mods added. You might check into the Element, it’s super light and accurate. I shot a friend’s recently and was impressed with it. So far I’ve noticed that their bolt or lever guns are more accurate than their semi auto models.
