Im looking to get a pcp pistol that is accurate, will not break the bank and will knock over chickens and pigs at 40 and 50 yards. Animals are half scale. Any suggestions that I can look into? Thank you.

Huben GK1.. but just looking at it will break your bank.. I was very lucky to be able to shoot one a friend has.. just WOW.. but when you see the price tag.. it's sad..
maybe one day
if you happen to see any compact PCP pistols I'd like to see them too..
I have a hatsan velox, it's good but chunky and heavy..

Very nice options. I looked at the gk1 but that price tag is a bit to much. I'll check the ar6. Thanks.

Evanix has the Viper too. But it is more expensive than the AR6-P. Its advantage is that you can buy it stateside. Don't know anything more than what I've read about it.
My AR6 is the earlier iteration, Duk Il Arms. Duk Il Arms -> Shin Sung -> Sumatra -> Evanix. All the same gun, just the parent name changes.

Air Venturi just came out with the MicroStrike. May be a bit large for what you want but has some nice features like an externally adjustable regulator.

I really appreciate the responses, thank you. I'll take a look at the pp700, 750, and microstrike. On the ar6 for anyone that has it, does it shoot a string of 10 shoots accurately? I need to be able to shoot on the line 10 shots before I can go back and recharge the pcp.

The AR6 cylinder only holds 6 pellets. So you would need two. I've fired 2 cylinder without refill but I've never put it on the chrono when I did. I'd test it out for you but I lost the refill probe somehow and UPS has lost the replacement probe (was suppose to be here Tuesday).

Hello and welcome to our wonderful forum and family. Just for clarification can you confirm what size silhouette targets you are shooting. You stated 1/2 scale. The typical air gun silhouettes are 1/10 scale and rimfire are usually 1/5 scale. 1/2 scale would be very large for an air pistol to knock over.
I don’t shoot air pistol but I really enjoy air rifle silhouette. No competitions near me but I do have fun just plinking away at them.

Hi, we run a 22lr smallbore silhouette match each month, and we do use 1/2 scale animals. Not sure why that is, I'm assuming no one was able to hit the 1/5 targets lol. I do have my match grade 22lr setups for this but I would also take a bejiman marauder 25 to take the Chickens and Pigs at 40 and 50 yards. I'm just looking for a pistol version that can do the exact thing. If it won't knock over the steel that's fine as long as I can hear the hit and is consistent for the 10 shot string in total.

Evanix Rex P
May break the bank, single shot, a bit esoteric & not a true pistol IMO, but modular, unchoked, & comes w a solid reputation for build and precision

Also there's the AF Talon P
Very affordable if you can score on sale and a hoot. But feels like holding a sawed off 20 g single shot than an actual pistol

The Rex P can be turned into a long gun & changed out w new barrels & bottles too if you want to go whole-hog

Like many newbie posts soliciting advice for airguns, what you're asking about doesn't exist. But unlike other newbie posts soliciting advice for airguns, what you're asking about never will exist.
The largest silhouettes you could hope to knock over with any air pistol are 1/5 scale, and such an air pistol doesn't meet your other criteria. All recommendations above either didn't read your post closely enough, or know nothing about silhouette shooting.

I respect your input, its probably fact that a pistol will not be able to knock over a 1/2 scale ram at 100 yards, and thats fine. I don't see any issues with knocking over chickens and pigs at 40 and 50 yards. Ive done it before in compitition with my Marauder. So, It might be true that what I'm asking for in a pcp pistol might not be double. thanks again.
