Airguns anyone?

[hunterdan]

So, given the current state of affairs, I'm contemplating buying a decent pcp airgun. Figure my budget will be between $300 and $400. I'm diving into a world in which I don't know a ton, but figured, nows as good a time as any. I'd really prefer to stick with something that is pcp vs a springer or air piston. My dad dives and has the ability to fill tanks for free, and he has a small tank he doesn't really use. Caliber isn't too much of a concern, since it's going to be primarily a plinking gun (and 22 cal pellets cost almost as much as a box of 22lr). I'm leaning towards the umarex gauntlet or something similar. What's everyone shooting and what does everyone recommend?

Mods, I wasn't quite sure where to place this, so feel free to move to the proper forum.

I got one in the summer for a ground hog thats been hanging around. Well made, not cheap crap.

In a few weeks it might be all we're allowed to have.

Probably more than you are willing to spend... But look at the big Texan. Even if it is just for kicks.

I might have a few around

Gamo Urban PCP. Multi shot goodness
Get an old steel scuba tank for refills

Not exactly what you put in OP, but kids have/had Crossman Furys. 1200 fps, single shot break barrel cocking in .177.

Have taken many groundhogs with them. Quiet, accurate durable. An enjoyable and inexpensive afternoon of plinking.

I have a Ruger Air Hawk, it's made by some other company that I don't remember right now.
It's my go to for backyard rodents.
There's a couple of co2 pistols around here and a Drozd blackbird for entertainment.

That's beefy and I can see what you're saying. My Henry Frontier is 7 lbs.

I also have a AF Talon with a lot of mods...with LDC/moderator, it's quiet. My Woods Walker is super quiet and I just killed a rabbit in my back yard last week with it.
