22 caliber. I figured what the hell I'm already in over my head with centerfire rifle's, just dipping my feet into building different AR's, now I'm into PCP rifles as well. I may be spreading my resources very thin!
All I can tell you is watch out the AR bug bit me pretty hard!

I'm selling my Benjamin Marauder .22 with a lothar & walther match barrel w/ only 250ish pellets down the tube. Also have a guppie tank I can sell too if anyone is interested! Like new the rifle sells for $650. I'd sell for $450 plus shipping and will come with +500 JSB pellets.
Full disclosure, the rifle seems to have a slow leek but I think it's just an O ring that needs to be replaced.

Just a question for all you Air Rifle shooters.
Do you need a special type of SCOPE on an air rifle? Years ago I was told that recoil was different and need a AR Scope.
I always want to get a GOOD Air Rifle, but don't need one. Some people get them so they can shoot on their property and the neighbors don't know, Shooting is inexpensive - just need air and lead.
I can shoot as much as I want and not effect the neighbors and have enough bullets and powder to last my lifetime.
But AMAZIED at the power in them. You can shoot large game with them.

Only for the piston spring guns, they have an initial small recoil then when the piston hits a reverse recoil (similar to what a muzzle brake does) and this can knock a lot of reticles loose. Scopes for these guns should be rated for use with this type of gun. Top end scopes should all handle it OK.
Thanks!
Oh man, that there is some funny stuff!! Saving money, I mean. My air tank was nearly twice the cost of my Gauntlet 'll. Guy behind the counter says, And you can get a bottle, if you don't want to hand pump. We fill it for x dollars.
Ok, how much is that?
Feller kinda hangs his head, and mumbles 700 dollars. Then he perks back up and said But it's a work of art! It's carbon fiber! Lol
And it is!

Buy 4500psi bottles from ebay and fill yourself with own compressor that way if they are out of inspection you are fine.
NEW 4,500psi Compressor $300 and Bottle $150 on Amazon
Edit:
I guess that I shouldn't post things that I have little knowledge about. The compressor and bottles I posted from Amazon are most likely for Paint Ball gun applications.
The equipment needed for the Air Rifles that are used for shooting and hunting probably cost many times.

Real funny thing is, I got my air tank- a 600 cu ft one with a Joe Brancato upgraded valve and the stock one. It's pretty great.
Then my neighbor is having a yard sale and clearing out the shop. He has a complete SCBA system with two masks and two tanks that are fairly recently inspected and have some life left- paid $20! Two 1 hour tanks, breathing system, masks and pack. Still need to see if it'll rig up to my other valve/regulator.
