It was suggested that I should buy a PCP air rifle so that I could practice target shooting due to the cost of ammo these days. I'm just looking for something that is accurate and can be filled by a pump since the nearest place to me is 60 miles one way to get it filled and buying a machine that costs as much as the air rifle will also not do for now.
Looking for suggestions on the brand and open to hearing caliber I can buy .22 and .177 local yet I'm looking more at the .22 maybe down the road cast them myself? I'm not looking for anything high end maybe $350 or $400 not sure what I'm looking for so the price might change as I need to buy a scope also.
This is only going to punch paper or smack into a steel plate. I'd like the one that could do it at 100 yards but 50 yards is also okay. Have any advice or questions please ask me as I'm new to this. Thanks!
