Magnum Air Rifles are like super fast bows. Difficult to shoot consistently, noisy and just not as fun to shoot. I own an R7 and an R9. The R9 goes when hunting is involved, the R7 everything else. It's not a heavy duty killer but so dang accurate that shooting grasshoppers and hornets are ridiculously fun. I also have a Benjamin pump rifle that I have had for 40 years. Great rifle but I can shoot the springers 5-6X more with less effort and less game spooking pumping.

I would say that if a pellet rifle that shoots like a .22lr is what you are after then you should be looking at PCP's.
