Looking for a new inexpensive pcp to replace my breaker for squirrel hunting

(1/11) > >>

Will615:
Hey everybody. I'm still in the middle of my learning curve when it comes to air gun hunting so thanks in advance for your advice. I bought a budget Stoeger break open gun and replaced the trigger (charliedatuna.com> great investment!). It's a .22 and I played with different pellets to find the ones this guns likes. Sitting at a bench, it is plenty accurate for anything I want to do. I read up on the recoil of a breaker, using the military grip, etc. However, if I'm walking around the yard, it's a very difficult gun to use to hit a squirrel in the head.
I want to switch to a pcp gun with 2 main concerns. I want to spend under $500 on the gun and I want to figure out how to refill the tank without buying a compressor or going to a dive store. Your thoughts please. Thanks,
Will

PasadenaMike:
Get an Umarex Notos and a hand pump and problem solved .

bear air:
That would do it. What's the notes max fill Mike? If your not in a hurry you could probably get something pretty decent on the classifieds here or agn. Personally I wouldn't want to pump over 3000 psi. But that's just me. What type of fpe are you looking for?

The Notos fills easily to 250 bar with a hand pump. From a 250 bar fill the Notos offers about 20 regulated shots. If you choose to fill to 3000 you can probably get 14 15 good shots maybe a little less. My last Notos was shooting Crosman 14.3 pellets at 780.

I only have one PCP.
It would do the job very well.
