I need a quiet air rifle, HELP
« on: March 27, 2007, 11:36:15 AM »
I had a chance to shoot a Daisy 1000 today. Needless to say, I was not impressed. Not only was it extremely had to cock, the trigger pull was very hard and it was LOUD....It even got the neighbors dog to barking... I'm looking for a 177 cal that's quiet. I would like to have a break barrel but, I could live with a pump. Price, less than $200.00. It just has to be quiet. Any suggestions. 
Thanks,
Steve

For a really nice rifle that is quiet get a Beeman R7.  Extremely accurate and very quiet. Not real cheap but a lot of fun.
