I spent alot of time researching air rifles. I have a Beeman R7. Love it. Very accurate. Easy to cock. Limited range though.
If I were going to get a full power rifle it would be a Beeman HW97 or an Air arms TX200. Under lever design is nice. Keeps the barrel fixed.
Crossman,Gamo, no. I feel like you are looking for "Firearm" quality... no need to look here.
Watch the fps... at 1300-1400 they sound the same as a .22.
These people always treat me right -

One Nice thing about air rifles, you can shoot indoors. Make a trap using electricians duct seal to stop and catch the lead. You only need about a 1 1/4" thick layer. Even when you stack pellets, no richochets. And no noise...
I did a test once, 100 shots through the same hole. The lead never penetrated the putty. Just kept bonding to each other.
If you take the plunge, pm me and I will send some pics of my trap design.
