Artemis/SPA P15
Rear cocking side lever bullpup like Akela. But P15 is lower weight and regulated.

Artemis P15
The Artemis P15 is the successor of the P10. The P15 is a very accurate, multi-shot PCP air rifle with a compact bullpup design and a single stage trigger. The nicely carved beech thumbhole stock is fully ambidextrous and has a nice rubber butt plate. The Artemis P15 is equipped with a shrouded...

For a budget, go with the game arrow. I have the .177 and get insane shots per fill with no issues the past 300 pellets

Have you had any issues with the plastic bolt? The Arrows were having lots of issues accidentally discharging or not cocking due to the plastic wearing/breaking. Gamo had a wood stock exclusive version on their website a while back that was tuned up for a lot more power. Pretty tempting as it was on mega sale too, but with all the plastic parts I couldnt do it.

I’ll admit the bolt does feel cheap, being plastic. But as far as functionality it has done no wrong. What I like is how light the total package is, especially compared to my impact. It’s also super quiet stock

yeah, i’ve had experience with hatsan and plastic plastic internals.. it’s the reason why i call them wacksan

idk if I agree with the existence of Hatsan. The weight alone ridiculous. Give me UX if those are my choices.

UX i can’t say much about. my experience has only been with a notos, but it shoots quarters out to 50 yards.

For budget, I love ux. Own a gauntlet .30 and a hammer carbine. Hammer is un used shelf piece lol but my experience with the gauntlet I’ll back ux on a budget all day everyday

A little more insight, the Stoeger XM1 series I believe is also made by Artemis/Snowpeak for the US market. They come with a 5 year warranty too.
Here is the cheapest I have seen a 177 version:
Stoeger XM1 Bullshark .17 Cal Suppressed Airgun w/Advanced Ergo Synthetic Stock 30436

MY friend had nothing but problems with his Gamo arrow.
First of all it very often blow the on probe mounted breech seal O-ring.
That funny cocking lever also tried to put out his eye out a few times.

I forgot to say it also snapped the valve stem, and your only option is to buy a new complete valve.

P35 is almost the same as the bullshark. Both have mid instead of rear cocking. The P35X does too but adds a longer barrel, a wood stock, and a 60cc plenum. If you want a 30-40 fpe 177 I'd get the P35X (or Remington Spirit X) but for a 15-20 fpe gun the P15, P35, or Bullshark will work great. I have a p35-177 and it's killed 20 squirrels for me so far.
