I have a few bargain-basement-cheap air guns I use for indoors practice but I'm looking to step up to something more enjoyable. In addition to practice, having small game power (say, squirrel size) is a plus but not required.
Needs:
1. Air-powered only, pump preferred but PCP considered. No CO2 or springer, I don't like their mechanics and operating cost.
2. Dovetail for scopes or peep sights (in addition to iron sights if possible) as my eyes are terrible
3. As inexpensive as possible
Other considerations:
1. The fewer the pumps for maximim power, the better
2. Not a big deal, but I'd prefer something that handles like a rifle rather than an Olympic target device.
3. Good company support is a plus
4. Wood is nice
Any ideas? Off the top of my head I've been considering the Disy 953 (along with its much-more-expensive sibling 853), Benjamin-Sheridan, and some others I can't recall off the top of my head.
