I won't claim to know anything about NP guns, but this should give you a good list of what's out there and prices:

A "good NP air rifle" depends significantly on what your budget is, it's intended use, and your willingness to compromise. If you can spell out at least the first two, it would be a lot easier to make suggestions (and answer the third part). So to be clear: how much are you looking to spend (let's say max dollar amount), and what are you intending to use it for (hunting, plinking, back yard target shooting, competitive shooting, etc.)?

I think I would go for NP2 versions as they improved many things on the NP2 version of that piston !

My opinion,only from experience,Gamo CFR in .22 cal.Nice to shoot,a bit heavy if you're going to carry it for a while,plenty accurate and power for pesting. Only NP gun I've used so can't compare to the popular Benjamins.

I had a .22 Umarex Octane a few years back that was pretty sweet. It would send the 14.3 grain Crosman premiers down range about 840 FPS for a little over 22 foot pounds of energy. I could usually hit about 8 or 9 wine corks out of 10 at 20 yds with it rested on a rolled up mat or a seat cushion.

The gamo bullwhisper or whisper fusion is both quite and accurate Ive bipoded mine so I have pellet on pellet accuracy out too twenty yards minus the occasion of a flyer but by paying more attention to pellet shape you can weed those out early.

I had the NP2 before I got a pcp . I really liked it . It's pretty good 30 yards and could break bottles out to 50 . Mine was the wood one she was a tank . I really like the NP2 . If I would have never started watching YouTube videos on pellet guns I bet I would still have that rifle and my 3 grand .

I have been shooting a gamo igt gun for a few years.
I only have one air rifle so it gets plenty of play time.
I did take it to bits and clean the sharp edges where the holes were machine punched in metal bits and change the trigger but then just nothing done as I keep shooting it.
Been a great gun for a cheapy, plenty accurate and enough grunt to kill possums which are a pest around here (.22).
I like the idea of the gas ram and after seeing how crude the manufacture was on mine I feel unlike spring guns that may be at the upper end of their development potential gas ram is still up for plenty of refinement.
I see some high end makers are offering it and wonder how they are going?
I like the list of the improvements made on the NP2s but have no idea how they work in practice.
Seems you should go for something a bit more refined like the NP2 unless Gamo etc have made similar improvements?
Getting some high tech plastic in there and removing metal on metal and streamlining them should make a great difference.
I have a silent stalker and I like a light gun so it suits me and would not go back to a spring gun for my knock around type of use.
I tend to leave my gun cocked sometimes and forget it out in the shed or something which can kill a spring gun.
Keep us posted, I think it's well worth doing some good research>
