These two compressors work perfectly for filling the rifles directly (not filling squba tanks):Get a compressor that pumps up to 5000psi.

Air Venturi Avenger in .25I am wanting to get into the pcp game. Most of my experience with air guns has been with springers. My favorite to date is a Beeman R1 in .22 which has been tuned by Paul Watts.
I am wanting to up my game and get something flatter shooting.
There are so many good pcp guns out there that it’s hard to decide which one to get.
I am looking for something that shoots accurately to 100 yards or more. I will use it for hunting birds and small varmints. Nothing bigger than possibly a raccoon off my deer feeder. With that said, it will mostly be shot at targets for fun. I live on 30 acres, so I have the room to shoot longer distances without worrying about it being “back yard friendly”.
I don’t want (at least for now) anything that requires constant tuning. I think I want something that can shoot pellets and slugs, but probably will stick to whatever the gun shoots the best with.
I had thought that I had narrowed my search down to the Uragan 2 in .22. Then I found out today that Taipan now makes a forward side lever model in the veteran and tactical model.
I will be purchasing a compressor as well.
Can you experts help a newbie to the pcp game make a decision on which route to go?
Why would you go with the avenger vs the avenge x? The avenge x isnt that much more and brings many improvements and options to the table.Air Venturi Avenger in .25

Which one is it?I used to think the same thing till I bought a airgun that fills to 5000 psi.
Not to sound uppity but yes, I realize that there are very good rifles out there that are cheaper, but I want to start out with one of the best. I still appreciate all of your opinions. Thank you allThe man has the means to buy a good rifle... No need to focus him to buy cheap again and again.
I will get it all figured out. I am a gun junky. I break down and clean my own guns. I load all my rifle, handgun ,and shotgun rounds. This will be something new, but I will figure it out.@Rubi513 Maintenance is an important element of airgunning. Either know or learn to do it yourself or be sure that you have access to someone who can. Also keep in mind parts availability and service centers, especially if you want top-tier gear. You want reputable airgunsmiths and an ample supply of parts to be available for you when you need them. It may eb a good idea to look them up and/or ask around. When sending guns out for service, shipping costs, damage in transit, and theft are notable concerns. Be sure to insure your shipment.
Why blow big money when you can get a rifle that has the same power and platform as the more expensive rifle that your paying mainly for the name ?The man has the means to buy a good rifle... No need to focus him to buy cheap again and again.
Because it's more than just a name. I like the avenge x. However it's fit and finish pales in comparison to a revere, wolverine or redwolf. You can pick them up blind and feel the difference.Why blow big money when you can get a rifle that has the same power and platform as the more expensive rifle that your paying mainly for the name ?
I guess if I had the money for a pricey pcp I might thinkBecause it's more than just a name. I like the avenge x. However it's fit and finish pales in comparison to a revere, wolverine or redwolf. You can pick them up blind and feel the difference.
