Its great to hear the "goto" guns. For some reason I am liking the cheaper <200 dollar beaters. I am starting to learn that under 50 yards and somewhere around 850fps/950fps with anything from 8 grains to 18 grains is devastating to Squirrels and Rabbits (BB gun stuff).
For me (at those power levels), is the stupid accuracy. Some guns or barrels have it and some don't.
Fun stuff either you have a 2k gun or 200 dollar gun. I only have the cheap ones.

My PP700sa is one of those inexpensive fun shooters as are both my Gamo Whisper Fusion .177 and Swarm Maxxim .22 . All 3 are cheap entertainment. I love the Swarm at 30 to 40 yards for killing soda cans when I go up to the in-laws place

Another vote for the Daystate Regal XL - my go to air rifle. Accurate, light weight and left-handed.

Regal XL is an accurate work of art
I still regret selling mine

Considering all the ones mentioned...I've viewed, listened, and considered....but it hasn't changed my outlook from the 3rd post in this string of posts.
Somehow, when I spend $$$$ on a rifle and it shoots well....I'm not nearly as impressed as when I spend $ on a rifle and it shoots average groups just as small.

Same here.
I am really looking hard at the stormrider. Mag fed, barrel high enough for a shroud, and ( I think) a winner for easy full bore porting due to the bolt design. Not only that a reverse bottle regulated at 2k and a 17hmr barrel would be interesting for a nice little slug shooter.
