[QUOTE="Kirk, post: 4959848, member: 967"] First off I will tell you it is an expensive hobby to get in to. Once you make the initial purchases it levels out and it not expensive anymore. I have the Texan SS .457. ($1,100) It has the built in moderator and is far quieter than the other airguns I have shot. I have made target shots out to 269 yards with it. (It will shoot much farther I just don't have the space to do it.) I have experimented with different ammo and settled on the Nielsen Specialty Ammunition as being the most consistent with my Texan airgun. I use an Air Venturi Nomad compressor ($400) to pump it up. It came out actually less expensive to buy the compressor instead of buying the scuba tank and taking it to fill it up. I have a hand pump ordered just use a quick refill to get pressure back up to optimum after a shot. I also have a Sam Yang Dragon Claw ($489) that is a .50 caliber airgun. It is loud. I had a moderator built ($120) for it and it reduced the noise a little but not nearly as low as the Texan SS. The Sam is built on a regular rifle frame and stock and from a distance you can't tell it is an airgun. [/QUOTE]
