An FAC air rifle is not a bad idea, someone I know uses one and always tells me it is flatter shooting over the first 50 yards than a .22LR and I assume a moderated pre-charged would be quiet. Only downside I can think of is cost.
A Sportsman would not be a bad choice and a lot cheaper than some things..

That is my concern as well. Much better to pick up a .22LR as they are always available and will eventully sell if needed.

Never is a long time, I think it may depend on where you are. I've sold a few second hand FAC air rifles and they went quite quickly.

Its all the extra stuff with the air bottles that I find a hassle, unless you got yourself a good old springer.

You guys are nuts.......great trigger, match grade barrel, best reliability around and will feed on practically every type of 22 ammo....it has to be the Anschutz 525
