1 - I'm not sure there are any clubs in Maine, I tried doing a few Google searches, but only thing that really pops up is gun ranges and gun clubs (non-air). Is there a member map somewhere on the forum? One of the car forums I'm on has a map showing approximately where members reside.Welcome to your childhood. You are certain to have fun.
1st how close are you to the nearest Club? Or other airgunner, There are some somewhere in your Stat, You would learn more at an FT (any) airgun match/shoot (note: club shooters Never own 1 airgun then again most airgunners own more also), in a day than reading forever.
Low dollar -could well be money well spent just don't put double the price in modded "searching"- just know the Umarex Gauntlet's. Smooth easy cocking and very accurate (would shoot FT with my .177) is is long and fairy heavy.
Love the Benjamin Marauder. (wrong cal. but the model , adjustable cheek BP2564W Walnut is on sale right now for $375- Watch for a good deal in .22. Mirror copy of the theoben 4 (?) trigger a true two stage good down to 6ish ounces with current barrels know the shoot well. Have you seen/searched airgun revisions yet? An extra dollar but nice work for the dollar.
Personally love RAW. Best trigger period. Purchase directly from Martin (does take more than one day) and have it your way, great heirloom piece. Good deals sometimes from known shooters on classifieds also.
The Gamo Urban has very good user reports & reputation (BSA barrel perhaps) , budget priced light good for 50-70 yards.
And so many more your new "airgun friends" may point out.
Find another airgun owner if you can.

2 - Gauntlet looks pretty slick although from the video of the Gauntlet 2 (couldn't find any originals in stock) it seems like a pretty loud rifle?
3 - The Marauder looks like a really nice "budget friendly" option - seems pretty quiet, and for a small up charge you can get it in .22 - now on my radar - thanks
4 - just did a search for "Airgun Revisions" - their website is awful, lol, but they have a ton of options, any suggestions?
5 - those RAW rifles look sweet, but are in the same price range of the FX Impact, which those speak to me personally a bit more
6 - the Gamo seems like another good budget friendly option, they another one for the radar
Thanks,
Greg
