[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 576910, member: 27328"] A Benjamin Marauder can be bought new for around $500 + shipping. It is my pick for value. My BSA Lonestar is a bit better in ways, but more expensive and only single shot. Some people prefer single shot for hunting. They shoot several different pellets and pick one before taking the shot. It is easier than changing magazines, and you can't eject a pellet from a loaded chamber. You do NOT want CO2 for hunting! It is low power and power varies with ambient temperature. A .177 target rifle is about the most useless rifle you could buy for hunting. They are made for 10 meter competition and are all low power for safety. My air rifle will shoot through a standard Beeman pellet trap like you find in Wal-Mart, unless you bolt thicker steel to the deflection plate. Hunting air rifles pump up anywhere from 3000 to 4500 PSI. The Nosler .357 bullets are overpriced for now, but the price may drop. They are a hunting bullet, not a target bullet. You can shoot regular cast lead 9mm/.355 cal bullets in the .357 Rogue. At Pyramyd Air you can buy a .50 cal air rifle for around $500, and they also make a .25 cal lever action repeater that is very powerful. These are South Korean made from makers like Shin Sung or Evanix. It is illegal to own firearms in South Korea, so they are a major source of high power hunting air rifles. Turkey is a place that moderate priced air rifles are made, at the Hatsan plant that also makes shotguns. The CZ air rifle looks like a Hatsan to me. I think Hatsan may make some of their shotguns. There are several brands that are private label Hatsan air rifles, like Hammerli and Walther and Halestorm. The Beeman PCP air rifle is made in England by Falcon. Go to the Swedish FX website and see some cool videos of their semi-auto air rifle. The Russian EDgun air rifle is interesting, as it is a bullpup. Russians like to carry air rifles in their cars and take shots at varmints from the car, so they like a bullpup design. Thanks for the invite, but I don't have plans for Washington state in the near future. Will keep the invite in mind. [/QUOTE]
