I've tried to go springer/piston a couple times.... and I just plain can't shoot them in the field. They're ok in a static environment.... but when hunting I can't make hits because improvised rests and up angled shots go to a different POI. The only non-PCP I'd go with is the Benjamin-Sheridan with Williams peep as mentioned above.

If you want real airgun accuracy/shootability.... a PCP is the only way to go. A Benjamin Discovery can be had with pump for $400.... and they boot-stomp every springer I've ever seen in the field accuracy department.

My .22 Disco is sub-1" all day at 50 yards with 15.9 JSBs at 799fps. I get 20 shots for 70 pumps.

You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
