N/A help a brother decide!

whats up up my fellow airheads!?

we're back at it again! you're favorite annoying newbie needs help to decide between 2 airguns! i understand these guns are both not even in the same realm when it comes to their usage. but i need some help on deciding between the macavity ma2 or the airforce talon p. i get that one is single shot and the other is magazine fed. i prefer a magazine. i would also like to add im using a hand pump as an air source. my purpose with this gun will most likely be plinking and small to mid game hunting. Quietness definitely matters to me. i heard the talon p is loud as heck. compactness is a plus. if the talon p was quiet and was magazine fed i would pick it all day. if anyone who has either of these guns want to chime in be my guest. thanks guys!!

Does it come in 30? I’m only seeing 22 and 25

I'm sorry, its the M60 that is .30. Airgunarcheryfun has them...

I've got a bit of trigger time in with the MA2 now. I am currently fuming over not being able to use the folding stock adapter I bought because Macavity had to make the stock tube receiver weird too. Putting that aside, the whole stock sucks thing, I really do love shooting this airgun. I am getting very good accuracy, and the action is very smooth. If you are going to leave it completely factory and are not going to use a bipod and you are good with the plastic magazines (because they make really nice metal ones that they don't give you with the gun) then I would say that it is a very nice gun and a good buy. I will tell you this too, I am getting the first aftermarket stock that comes out, and if you do buy one, buy some of the metal magazines. I don't have any experience with the Talon P but everything that I have read has been positive. I wouldn't want to hand pump for it. I have hand pumped that size bottle before and it will diminish your fun quite a bit. If you are just taking a couple of shots for hunting and keeping it topped off, then yeah it's doable, but still not preferable. If you suspect that you have more than a year left to live and you really love shooting airguns just get a little compressor, you will eventually anyway and you won't have to feel foolish for putting it off, like some of us have.

Thank you for your detailed response sir. too bad about the buffer tube man, i would have loved a folding stock on that!

I’m sure the AF options are built very well and are a quality gun. In todays market I just don’t see 700 bucks in a non regulated 3k fill gun.

Ohhh that snow peak model. Looks a lot like a zelos. Man that gun is perfect for me but it is literally out of stock everywhere. The site u mentioned I think only has it in 177.

And a single shot lol. I don’t think Airguns should even be over a thousand dollars in general.

They are essentially the same gun, SAP makes them, SnowPeak distributes them outside the USA, Umarex distributes them inside the USA.

The Zelos has a 50mm longer barrel.
