Ron's the real deal Mike. You'd be amazed how many shots he's made with that Air Arms and how low maintenance it is. Look up some of his past topics in this forum as Ron has shared a lot of info. If you're still looking at going with a PCP, based on your anticipated quarry, you could use either a 22 or 25. If you're looking for something quieter, there's some really good shrouded PCPs and piston guns like Ron's. Right now is a golden age for air guns.
