[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 625488, member: 27328"] Airguns of Arizona is now selling the Benjamin Marauder in .22Cal for $399.99. This is less than a firearms suppressor + $200 tax stamp costs, you get an entire PCP rifle of hunting class with a built-in suppressor. It is almost the equal of a BSA R-10 that sells for $995, except the Marauder isn't regulated. You don't really need regulation in a hunting air rifle, just pump up to proper pressure every 10 rounds or so. Regulation cuts your max power a bit, is more prone to leaks, costs quite a bit, weighs more. Marauder + scope + pump + tactical light can be had for the cost of the BSA R-10. I own a BSA in .25 Cal, but the Banjamin Marauder is a better value. BSA is probably the best value in a Brit PCP air rifle, but spare mags are expensive. Benjamin mags are $15. Any Brit, German, Korean or Swedish air rifle will probably be a hassle to get repaired. GAMO is now the USA distributor of BSA air rifles, as they now own BSA. Airguns of Arizona seems to have dumped their BSA line and are almost sold out. They did have a used BSA SuperTen for sale, which is one of the best Brit air rifles ever made. With a new Marauder going for same or less than a new CZ 455, the price disadvantge PCP rifles have had vs .22LR rimfire has pretty much faded. GAMO sells a BSA Sportsman HV under the GAMO name, at $600 retail MSRP, which means you can get it for less. It has the separate bolt and cocking mechanism which alllows you to cock the rifle just before taking a shot, which is the safest method available. You shouldn't carry a cocked air rifle with a light match trigger, even if the safety is engaged. Cost of .22LR ammo doesn't bother me much, as the cost of driving to a hunting spot usually far exceeds quality pellets or rimfire ammo cost. [/QUOTE]
