Hello everyone. First timer here and pretty new to airguns in general but have decided to get into one for shooting in my back yard and for small to medium game. My budget for getting started is around 1000. I have been leaning towards an air venturi avenger and decking it out but I've heard arguments for a Benjamin marauder as well. Kind of a big purchase for me so trying to get informed as much as I can. I appreciate any advice.
