I started this thread here since an air rifle is more like a rimfire than a shotgun/centerfire rifle (I guess). I've been shopping for a decent moderately priced air rifle. There are quite a few in my price range ($200-$300) and was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these and would care to give your thoughts (quality, features, etc.). Some models I like are the Gamo Whisper series, and yesterday at Academy I came across the Crossman Nitro Venom Dusk. I'm confining my choices to rifles that have integrated sound suppression since I want to use it in my good sized but very suburban backyard. Any information on how quiet the different models are would be very helpful as well.
