Benjamin Maximus or Gamo Urban

If you’re partial to the Urban... there’s your answer. Urban was my first, still in the safe, she suits for what you described. A simple, reliable beater, that’s pump friendly. At my typical pesting ranges the Urban gives nothing up in relation to my Compatto or Bantam Sniper. It’s just less refined, but kills them just as good as the other two.

2,000psi vs 3,365psi make any difference to you?

You mentioned "Light Weight" if this is important the Max is what you want. I bought an Urban from Amazon last yr for $199.00 I opened the box picked it up and returned it, no other reason than it's weight, I also wanted light.

Another thought to consider is parts availability and in this area Crosman can't be beat

I really like my Urban but will be getting an Impact next. Inevitable progression. 

My SIL got a Beeman Chief, I got a Maximus. They are comparable for the most part, but as arrived, the Beeman has a better trigger, and has been a laser with JSB 15.89 and 18 gr pellets. We have been shooting targets 30-55 yds, and as time passed the targets shrunk to keep up the challenge. Shooting at 1.5 inch targets at 50 yds with ~$150 pcps is fun.

Urban all the way, just tuned mine to 30 fpe and have it set up for coons. When I want up to 30 shots I'll tune it down to 17fpe it's really a far superior weapon. That being said I'm buying a maximus for hunting squirrels and such due to its super light wieght and bulletproof design. I plan on beating it up and taking it everywhere to use with cph. I believe it comes with open sights too which is perfect for me. Qb chief is another I've looked at. 

Don't know the Urban but have a Maximus that I like very much.

Points well, shoots well and light enough to drag around with me when I am out working on the property. Like that I don't have to worry about the synthetic stock.

Topped it off with a little 4x32 scope, added a sling, did the trigger mod and put a HuMa regulator into it just so I wouldn't have to watch the fill pressure.

The light weight makes the Maximus a great little gun for carrying around in the bush but I prefer a bit more weight for target shooting so I plan to make a wood stock for in the near future.

Now top it with the Bushnell Nitro 2.5-10X44 at midway for $109 and you are set. I have a SWFA 10X SS on mine.

Urban, the BSA cold forged barrel is a definite plus. Have huma on mine set at 140 bar. 24 shots at 830 fps shoots one half in groups at 20 yds with 5.53 14.66 h&n ftt’s.
