OK...
Googled it and it seems to be what all the cool kids are shooting for powder...
Can someone boil down the advantages for me? And Vs. Pellets?
It's stable, clean, and gives excellent accuracy and velocity. It's a little pricey and not all guns are compatible. You save a little with it because it requires standard 209 or 209 magnum primers instead of the expensive special 777 primers. It's not available in pelleted form.
Pellets are convenient, expensive, and probably not quite as accurate as loose powder, although that may not be such a big deal.
Midway has T/C Omegas still in stock and in your price range. It's discontinued, but very popular, for good reason.
You can also get a lower end Knight at a discount and they are good accurate rifles, at least the inlines. Someone else can tell you about the Vision, perhaps. Others like the CVAs, but I don't care for them myself, or most break-actions in general. That's just my preference.
