I wouldn't even get a springer for what you describe. I have two springers, 3 multi pump pneumatics and a CO2 rifle. Out of all of them my Sheridan 2260 CO2 rifle is by far the most fun to plink with. It is accurate, isn't the least bit hold sensitive, doesn't tire your arm out from pumping on a long afternoon plinking session, doesn't require an air rifle rated scope, doesn't vibrate screws loose and doesn't weigh as much as a fuggin elephant rifle. It is light weight, easy to load and operate, not overly loud, shoots 1" 5 shot groups at 30 yards with cheap Crosman pellets,, tears the shyt out of soup cans and kills the hell out of rabbits and squirrels. My Walther Parrus break barrel is more accurate, more powerful and flatter shooting but it is also as heavy as a fuggin elephant rifle, long as a cane pole, hold sensitive and loud and twangy.
