Clod Weather Hunting Springer or gas ram under $300? Which is best?

Yesterday I was shooting golf balls at 90 yards with a Benjamin Prowler .22. (Two balls sitting on nails between the paper plate and disposable baking tray). Now I didn’t hit it on every shot but I was able to hit them pretty regularly. I bet it would be a lot more consistent if I had better glass instead of the Centerpoint it came with...so springers are definitely capable.

Nice long distance shooting with a springer, K!

In my experience Dianas are higher quality and generally more accurate than Hatsans, and easy to work on.

If it wasn't for the barrel droop on the Diana's I would buy one but I don't want to deal with that and don't know how it performs In the colder temps

Barrel droop is a non issue if you get a drooper scope mount.

Crosman owns Centerpoint and many others, like Benjamin. I don't know who, if anyone else, builds Centerpoint's scopes. Hammers is another very good quality air rifle scope. Their mounts just can't take heavy break barrel recoil too well. Didn't matter how tight I cranked them on the Hatsan Striker 1000x, the 4-bolt mount walked backward 1/2" and then broke the scope stop screw! So I ditched the Hatsan mount, went for some Simmons low mounts and two Hatsan scope stops together with all 4 screws! We'll see how that works out?!

Get a one piece offset mount. Problem solved. That's what I have on my 95.

 There is also the bore paste on the 11mm dovetail trick,to give the mounts some grit to bite in and hold fast.

Barrel droop so easy to deal with.  Just put a droop weaver rail on it.  UTG makes them for like 10.00 on Amazon.   
Or can get adjustable rings like the FX.

Benjamin NP2

Not looking for a benjuman or Grossman want better quality.

If you're looking for higher quality, then Diana is the brand you want, based on your list. I own a couple of NP2, I got for really great prices, and I have been very happy with their build, and accuracy right out of the box. I also own a Diana48, but I would much prefer to grab the much lighter, synthetic stock NP2 for a day in the woods.

Ho yeah, forgot that part

My Panther 34 is way heavier then my Titan.

What?!?  My p34 feels like a plastic toy..

That being said...  I own most of the guns mentioned here and I’m w NP.  NP2 will suit you well.  Benjamin/Crosman makes good products.  Diana/HW/weinrich make good products.  All the aforementioned ship out duds every now and then.  My new marauder is actually my favorite gun atm.
