Portland Oregon Pellet Gun questions

[Ryanmiamivice]

I have 2 pellet guns. Gamo whisper in .177 it is pretty loud but powerful and inexpensive.
My new one however is a .22 umarex gauntlet. Extremely quiet. Mostly only hear pellets slapping targets.
I went out the other day for some sage rats. I was dropping them with ease at 50-75 yards. Decent luck out to 100yds but the wind was a factor. Hits were kills though. So you can dispatch varmints with ease using this puppy. Can find a pump and gun for about 300.

Every Umarex I've owned has been short-lived junk. Eight of them I wish I never laid eyes on, you'd think I'd learn my lesson by 3 or 4.

Oh hey, if it's working for ya, stick with it! I'm but a sampling, not everything they make is junk, god I hope.

But I'm already well against the odds of trying that brand again. Perhaps it's more a trend of things they've built the past, oh, 5 years or so. I've never had an umarex from the used market. Older stuff might be better, and likely pricey gear of that brand is. Dunno, not willing to risk it any more $$ with them.


Anyway, me, wrong person to ask about PCPs. Tried a few, too much a hassle. I'm a driver, not a mechanic.
