Other Best pesting .177 <35yrds?

@PasadenaMike , The weight is great for the Atomic and so is the price!! My daily driver is a 2001 CRV:) My porch is enclosed:) @DerringerJack , I have s small pile of Stormrider spring material to try and get my trigger matched to my Altararos reg. I really like the Stormrider for the price and accuracy. I need a smoother bolt, better trigger. But those two things are the same complaints I have about my AA T200.

Then maybe the BRK is ok:) the trigger isn’t match grade but it’s ok

@PasadenaMike , what do you think is a match grade trigger? What kind of match? I have powder burner Unlimited BR shooters who think a trigger should be in fractions of oz's. Me? If it breaks clean at 2lbs I am happy.
To me in the Airgun world I’d say like an FX Crown trigger (out of the box ) is match. Honestly after the trigger broke in on my Atomic its a crisp let off . I don’t know the weight but it’s nice .
 
Humidity is the killer. I’d worry about oxidation in the barrel affecting accuracy when I needed it. Airguns can’t use the same chemicals we use in PB’s. I can’t spray it down with Hornady One-Shot and know it’s good for awhile.
Ballistol does a good job as a rust inhibitor, but I’ve never done extended testing.
You can try it as a pellet lubricant after washing and drying them. It at least ensures a bit of Ballistol is always left in the barrel. Pull a patch after a week and see what you have. If it’s good, wait two weeks and repeat.

The o rings are the major concern with chemicals. I’d feel comfortable wiping the surface areas that could rust with one-shot. I carried a blued steel 1911 IWB here in FL for years with zero rust. Body contact and plenty of sweat. There are even wear markets down to bare steel. My trick was wipe it with Hornady One-Shot once a week.

Also, price is important when suggesting equipment. I know if it was me, I’d only leave a couple hundred dollar rifle at most out there.

I think the Stormrider is an excellent choice. If you want something synthetic
