im looking to buy another new airgun (makes 5 this year I think...) im not looking to spend a ton of money on this one, Im thinking about $350 is going to be my limit. on the PCP side of things, the avenger is looking dang good, but what springer would anyone recommend at this price point? I have a couple gamos and a couple crosman break barrels and yea im not super impressed, not disappointed, just not impressed. would the Beeman r7 be a good option? I should probably add that the main use for this new gun would be small game hunting and pest control at moderate distances. are any of the Diannas any good?

A lot of infrastructure necessary for pcp fun. Normally collected over time. Depending on your usage ands how close you are to a fill station or dive shop will depend where you start with your collection period. If you are close to a place fill your carbon fiber bottle( a must) then you won't need a hpa compressor right away. 1 pandemic shutdown , then you'll realize you need a compressor.
The Avenger is a great starter for a pcp. Loads of info on it and how to get the most out of your gun.
R9 in .177 caliber. Great on squirrels and starlings.
Good luck, have fun.

we need to start a movement to bring the 20 cal back!

They have done it before. A couple of years ago. Maybe AGN could set up a yearly 1 time order for some 20cal rifles. I don't know how many manufacturers still offer a 20cal. I think Weihrauch does but I think only rarely. If there are enough orders AGN could find a distributor ;
like Krale or Pyramyd Air that would call in a an order. I wonder what the minimum order would be. If I got the cash at the time I would be highly interested.

I will agree it is impressive, but I live in Michigan and we have a 25 cal limit on small game, so for me it would be a really expensive to shoot plinker :)

It is a really fun plinker though. It hits hard and I thoroughly enjoy mine. I was shooting plums off a tree with my daughter last summer and when those .30 caliber pellets would hit dead on and take out the pit It made a great thwacking sound and really splattered them.

For around 350 you can pick up one of the Anniversary Edition Crosman 362. I bought one from Pyramid a few eeks ago for $350 and it is a very nice and accurate pumper. Walnut and steel

Pyramid has an 11% off sale right now with free shipping which makes this $400 retail rifle $355. That's how I bought it back around Christmas for #350.
