Thanks, in Alabama for deer it is .30 cal. and larger.

Just a thought and only saying this because recommended for a small deer is 100fpe. I'm shooting .30 cal 60gn at 120fpe at the muzzle but at 100 yards that drops down to 90 fpe. Just me personally if you're thinking of deer I'd get a .357 or else you're definitely limiting your range.
If I get drawn for deer tags next year I will be picking up a .357...just a thought

I'm out in Arizona, I wish I could get that close lol. Actually some parts in the hills it's possible but a lot of open areas here. That is the one thing I miss about Wisconsin, game everywhere

I prefer my 5 under $500 airguns to my one $1400 airgun but I like them all. If you got a 30 caliber Gauntlet or M60B you could also get a 22 caliber Bullshark and still spend less than one "high end gun". Or get 2 M60b guns, one big one small caliber. Even 177 works well for squirrels and 22 and 25s a little better. So you can use them for practice and small game and save the "big gun" for when. You need the power (and noise and cost).

I've had that compressor almost 8 months now I believe, no issues at all.
I have a log book and I record every time I use it so every 4 hours of use I lube it as directed

What are you looking to hunt? 30cal is plenty for coyotes and hogs with good shot placement. there is a guy on YT i saw take down a Ram with a 30 cal headshot. it was pretty dope
