My wife and I have discovered we are in love with a new hobby. We live on a small acreage in SE Iowa and was just goofing around one night seeing who was the best shot with our cheap pellet rifle which is a Gamo Silent Cat in 177. I must admit she is very competetive and unfortunately for me a very good shot from the the bench and this is at 40-60 yards. The gun of course leaves little to be desired in consistency and we are interested in stretching it out a little more and that is what led me to here. We started out at looking at higher end springers mainly RWS DIana 470 and 56 models but now I am considering pcp's. I just don't care for the large additional cost of a pump and tank and of course we will be buying two guns.We would like to be able to shoot out to 100 yards accurately. Any advice or input is appreciated. Thanks for a great website.

Hello, and welcome to the GTA!! Just about any air rifle will shoot to 100 yards. Consistency and Accuracy may be lacking but the distance will be there!!
