Been wanting to get into non gunpowder for rifle and handgun, because you can shoot in your backyard (or even basement) and not have to deal with standard legal (gunpowder) firearm issues & no nos.

Do you mean airsoft or pellet guns? I own and am familiar with both. With pellet rifles especially, I have owned about a half dozen of them ranging from low end to high end. Pellet rifles and pistols. What do you have?

Howler, Imo, the best .22 pellet spring powered rifle is the Diana 54 using jsb exact jumbo heavy 18.13 grain pellets. it is heavy as all magnum spring powered rifles are but it is by far IMO the best one for the money period. You will literally get a dime sized group at 20 yards easily. You can head shot small game easily. If you want something a little lighter then the Diana 460 magnum is the next best thing. We have one in 177. Diana 54 is an awesome springer and it shoots like a PCP, we shoot I think 7 grain 177 jsb out of it atm. You can get a good one on the airgun forums for around $400. Honestly it has more power than alot of springers I have seen out there.

Pellet rifles and pistols. What do you have? Diana 460 .22, Diana 54 .22, Diana 34 .177, Hatsan 135 QE .30, Daisy 880 .177 I have a 34 in 22. and a 54 in 177. I also have an FX tarantula, Beeman R9, Logun MK2, Daystate MK3, Air arms pro elite, crossman 2400kt, BSA scorpion, Logun Solo, old benjamin 392, weihrauch hw97. and I think those are it for the rifles.

You try field target trophies by H@N?

PCP's are really cool but IMO I never really wanted to take the leap to them because an " all in one" system of just having the rifle and a container of pellets is what is most attractive for me. The Diana 460 is an awesome choice for that " all rounder" because it's still not very heavy or bulky but still has the power of the 54. Just a little bit not quite as accurate because it's doesn't have the recoil system. The 54 is a heck of a gun to carry man, super freaking heavy as your probably know! PCP's are a whole other realm because you need either a tank or pump as well. I love the R9 for that reason as it is light and gets power with lower recoil. Check out some beeman or weihrauch guns.

That is an added benefit of PCP's is the added power but you also need air and cant just break the barrel and stick in a pellet. They are nice for hunting but can be a pain for plinking

It is like a mix of a pump and pcp. That is a really good idea.

I'll have to take some. As most guys did, I painted mine black(originally yellow for importation purposes) I used soluble paint so I could return it to original color, so it looks worn. That's just the paint wearing off.
