Smallest air rifle with > 80 fpe, with a magazine, not bulpup if possible.

I will never be the owner of any of those most likely at those prices.

My buddy bought a all metal Hammerli M4 .22lr copy, made in Germany, for under $300. I should have too. It's an amazing rifle for the price, and they are up to $400 now
If you shoot alot, the ammo from a higher end quality air rifle will be cheaper than 22lr rounds. In most usage cases 1/5 the cost or even 1/10 when discussing match ammo. Plus even the nicest target ammo for powder burners 20-50fps difference in speed. I have had airguns with only 2fps or less deviation through an entire magazine. Powder cannot due that period.
 
Well said @Scotay42

Case in point, a chronograph string of 1 full mag at 100 fpe out of the new Evol HPS in 20 degree weather. First mag of the day with the rifle at the ambient 20*.

It's not a fair comparison though; the markets are very differently sized. Prices can be much lower in larger markets.
 
We are discussing air rifles. They are far more advanced and in depth than a powder burner is. Also, we don't discuss powder burners here. Not unless you want your peepee smacked.
More advanced? I'm just saying take another Hammerli product, the 850 air rifle for example, also for the same $300. It was surprising to see how nice that German made all steel M4 was for 850 money
 
The people who make comments on the price of the Evol are always people who don't own them, yet people are ok with spending $2000.00 for a stock impact, then put $1500 in accessories onto it, only to have a rifle that isn't first shot reliable and doesn't really compare to what an evol is in terms of reliability/rugged build.
Been there, done that. Buy American.
