good spring gun! i prefer quieter gun (report is 3-Medium is louder than 2-low). not accurate, no completion air rifle use spring anymore for long long time, spring have two direction recoil and so spring gun is for fun, can shoot any where but not for accuracy. cost is good, pcp need pump or bottle while spring gun does not need those. 177 is for feather, but not for fur. you have a very good start. you will soon enter PCP for sure if you hunt, since you will soon find out you will need 50 yard shot while spring gun cannot do. and 177 cannot do. so 25 pcp is a option. 2 cents.
