Which Air Rifle PCP or Springer and then which one?

[graycrait]

I've had a couple of hard core gun guys on TGO talk to me about their air rifles now I want to figure out how to get one ($$$).  I want a 35 yard very quiet squirrel killing machine.  The Benjamin Marauder .25 comes up over and over again, esp., since Green Mountain makes the Marauder's .25 cal barrels.

 

Trouble with PCP is that you need a scuba tank and some where to fill it or a 250.00 pump.  

 

I've heard the Gamo Whisper isn't all that quiet.  I was wondering if there is a reasonably priced springer that is accurate out to 50 yards, quiet and reliable.

 

Can't buy .22 rds so might as well get a pellet gun.  Advantage to the Marauder is that it can hold 8 .25 caliber pellets in a magazine so that you don't have to reload one at a time.

 

Anyone have a cool reliable not terribly expensive QUIET accurate pellet rifle they recommend?

I would stay with a .22 over the .177. It's more likely to stay subsonic due to the weight. I've been happy with my Benjamin trail np. Seems a couple db quieter than the gammo that a buddy has.
