Have you ordered a pump yet, or just going to stick with tanks and get them filled for now? That Varmint is supposed to be easy filling with a hand pump. I bought a cheap one that sells on ebay, working great so far. MRODAIR sells them as well for a bit more money.
Crosman has a $30 rebate on their 90ci tank. Free freight on Friday. And you can use a discount code.

I specifically went 22 because of the number of 177 other airguns I have. So what did I do I went and ordered the CP1 and Varmint in 177 haha! only because I will use the CP1 indoors in the winter and since mags match up I went with 177 Varmint to match. The next rifle most likely Huntsman Regal 22 or the Bantam in 22 or 25 still kicking calibers around. And at some point I am sure I will add a big bore to them.I never posted on any forum that I did not get at least one answer that wasn't what I was asking for.
I just scored a .22 Maximus on WW clearance for $86.90 + tax... free shipping talk about bang for the buck...My BSA .177 Buccaneer was an amazing amazon sale for $277 + tax... free shipping very very good bang for the buc(pun intended)

I don't regret my decision going .22. No matter what cal I choose I want the gun to be able to shoot them at 850-890 fps. Shooting jsb 15.9s I can do that and use less air doing it. The .25 cal regal is like 40fpe but only 15 good shots shooting JSB 25gr. So yes you can hit a little harder but your shot count tanks. You could shoot slower like 700 fps but then you loose the flatter trajectory of 870fps.If you break the 900 fps barrier then your pellets are more likely to tumble and the groups open up. So if you do go .25 cal you have to go to a big bottle gun or loose shot count. At the time I bought mine I did not really care for the look of the Daystates with the giant bottles. I wanted something that looked and felt like my .22 rimfires. The regal does that.Depends on of you are strictly hunting. I do more plinking than hunting .22 ammo uses less air and usually cheaper per tin of 500. I think .22 is a very versatile caliber. Better at 50 yards than .177 in the wind but cost effective on air and pellets.If I can't kill it with 30fpe I grab my rimfire.

Your description of the Regal as well it is the closest to a traditional hunting rifle. With that said I will own a Regal, but also have my sights set on a few others as well. It did not take long to blow my budget out of the water.
Huntsman Regal and Brocock Bantum are my two top choices at the moment

For me, under 36" is best for hunting, even shorter is better when I can get it, too.The Daystates, well, you know, they are top-notch guns, for sure.
Putting together a list of powder burners that somehow I picked up, but never really wanted, someone needed money or just a good deal. Anyway should be enough to buy some more air guns
