couldn't find thr's pellet gun subforum uhoh: and this is going to be rough) but figured I'd take a shot... and feel free to laugh if you're not down (i barely respect it myself, and a flame = a free bump lol)
Anyways, I just want to get a descent air/pellet pistol for sitting on my couch and shooting at a pellet trap. Lost in the brands, but been researching the basic types- co2 (eliminated b/c apparently they're the loudest, & dont want to mess w/cartridges and not consistent velocities), pcp (don't want a tank/pump or anything external hooked up to it, a little too hardcore)... so it's either going to be:
A) spring/piston pneumatic type (just like the idea of single stroke, and these seem to be the best outside of pcp, only the designs are just out there)... or
B) just a basic benjamin/sheridan multi-pump pneumatic. still have my sheridan .20cal rifle from childhood, honestly a big part of the appeal is something that looks and feels nice (smooth classic look etc, walnut lol) and the fact that i can just pump it three times or so and it's consistent velocity/poi from shot to shot, and half the price of choice A
So my question is, to anyone familiar with these things- have you seen a quality single stroke (spring/piston) pneumatic, that isn't a freakshow? Like I found a smoking deal on a IZH m46 (supposedly proven in int'l matches etc, COMPLETELY overboard to win my imaginary couch competitions)- it's this thing: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=941 there for $389 but I found it for $269 (including the al case lol and red dot). just a total FREAKshow. Gues it cold grow on me.
But anything like that but more classic/elegant look like the sheridns/benj? Prolly what I'll end up getting: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=233 just know that sucker will last, as my sheridan rifle has & USA vs russian
Or any other insights from anyone that might happen to know about these things (lol for your kids probably). Little embarassing, but thought I;d at least try here before joining an airsoft forum or something . I mean no matter how good a deal that first one is, that's approaching real gun money, but still my next handgun (36) wont be something i can shoot in my apt, and if i can justify a hundred, I can justify 2.5 that if that sci-fi looking pellet gun is really that much better a shooter. Any other ideas/input?
THANKS!
(btw I know the loudest part regarding apartment use is not the sound of the gun itself but the pellet hitting the trap, but apparently if you line the back with bricks of "duct seal" it just thuds silently)
edit- oh crap social situations? though i put in general gun. wait.. ok mods move/delete as appropriate.
