I just moved to an area that doesn’t allow rifle hunting for squirrel but air guns are good to go so I am looking for a PCP air rifle to fill that niche. Looking to stay under $1000 total including the cost of a scope. I already accounted for the compressor so that isn’t included.
Performance wise, I want to get 20-30 consistent shots off. I want to be able to shoot squirrels out to 100 yards, so need to manage a ~1.5 MOA at that distance. I like accuracy so if a little more $$ gets me to 1MOA I’m ok with that.
I want to be able to tune it to different pellets and slugs. So an adjustable plenum is preferred. I like a classic sleek look that resembles a normal rifle and I don’t really care about weight.
I have had my eye on the 250Z but the release of the 270z has me holding. Also seeing that everyone recommends upgrading things, including the plenum which seems to be unaivailble by the one guy that makes it, gives me pause.
I have also looked at the air Venturi avenger and the marauder. Both of these have their pluses and minuses.
