Could be a gimmick. IDK, never tried the suppressed one. I'm sure Benjamin does make a better gun but aren't they a lot more expensive? You're getting into a lot of green just to knock off crows in the backyard.
BB guns are all getting pricey if you want a good reliable one. I've seen some of the gamos and Benjamins go $200-500+
But there are some real nice ones under $150.

$300 for an air gun is crazy
Get a bold action .22 for $150ish and pick up some sub sonic ammo and your good to go.
Or you could just get a bow.

I agree. That's why I'd never spend more than about $130 for a pellet gun. With the bolt action, you can shoot 22lr, 22 cb, 22 short, etc.

I can get it on Amazon for $200

Also, I'm more concerned about Legality than price. I've shot a ton of cheap pellet guns in my day and a hand full of nice ones. I think I'm ready for a nice one.

Legality is important. Cops will not care too much about a pellet gun, even if its illegal. Popping off 22's in the city... another story.

It's a investment just like any other gun you buy, hell you save so much on ammo vs even a .22 they pay for themselves. I love loaded up my cheap daisy a going for a walk with Logan just to POP beer cans and bottles, setting up targets a trying for distance is also a blast.

Wow! Not much deliberation on that one huh? Most definitely looks sweet though. I'd go with 22 over 177 as well.

Nope, like I said, I've been meaning to buy a nice air gun since I moved into this house. I've already missed too many backyard hunting opportunities... NO MORE!

Hopefully I'll have a Coyote pelt to show for it soon, lol.

<disclaimer> I'm a lazy fisherman, I just go to drink beer and I very rarely catch anything... mainly because I don't care if I catch fish. <disclaimer off> :)

Any fisherman ever use these?

I just picked up a few of them for those rare occasions where I would like a better chance at catching something. Now to go fishing.

I'm the same way, more interested in catching a buzz than fish, lol

I usually just stop by HEB on the way home and hit the butcher/fresh fish. Wife says "Wow, I didn't know they had salmon in Lake Granger!".. I said, "They also have crab legs". LOL
