Hi, brand new to air guns.
I just moved and I have a back yard where I can shoot my pellets off my back deck. This means easy and fun trigger time.
I've put about 100 pellets thru it so far and it's been fun and I find the accuracy acceptable. I have some questions since I am new to to the air gun scene.
It the M4-177 a good choice for a beginner?
What are the thoughts about this particular gun for just general plinking?
Why isn't the tip orange?
I've been reading that you need an air rifle scope for spring air guns. Is this a spring air gun?
I don't want to go the CO2 route (extra costs) so what about a break barrel gun for the next purchase when my arm is ready to fall off from all the pumping? Are they tougher to pump for my wife? I've read that some are 40# to pump. How does that compare to the 9th and 10th pump on the pump I have? (I'd hate to spend the money and find that it is too difficult for a petite lady).
Thanks for all the help. I've been reading this forum for a while once I found this place and waited to move. Any and all general suggestions for someone new to air guns is appreciated. What pitfalls should I watch for so I don't waste precious money?
