So some stuff. Now slugs are kinda a new thing and they work about different then pellets . There not 100% non interchange but their also not 100% interchangeable. Honestly if you not going to be pissing the long range air gun hunting game I don't see too much point then them when you have speciality pellets like the HADES.
Also remember when it comes to springers or nitro positions DO NOT SHOOT THEM LIKE A REGULAR RIFLE. They have a double recoil and at harmonic nightmares they generally WILL NOT generally shoot well if you try to shoot them as you wouldn't anything else. Ive had a lot of guys in ox me saying how they couldn't keep anything in a group smaller then a pie plate @ 25 yd . 9/10 times their tying to shoot it like a regular gunAlso they will break scopes that are not air gun rated ..I'm not joking. If your $700 leupold isn't airgun rated a $100 springers will break it usually before you get though a tin of pellets.
Personally I'd go with a PCP their stupid
Good thing it is a 700$ Leupold scope. They will fix it for you if it breaks!! Too many $75-$150 air rifle scope out here that won't break for me to waste my time

I based my prices on a FX Dreamline compact tac. Folding stock. Several scopes in that price range. If I’m shooting for $$ I want the most accurate rifle I can find, Utah Airguns pointed me in that direction. You can adjust the gun a fair amount. Shooting inside vs. outside. You will want to have a dope sheet for the differences.
wws The regulated air venturi line will do everything fx will for a fraction of the price. Utah has makes a killing on those fx, that's why they push them so hard . Here's a 5 shot group from mine at 45 yards. I have taken pigeons at 100 with it. It has been an awesome budget gun.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

Growing up from 11 to 18 my brother and I both had BB guns. The slide pump type.
After a trip to Oklahoma, we aquired a .22 caliber Crossman that my older cousins had. That thing was wicked.

I got a refurbished 22 cal gas piston Benjamin Predator from Midway. When I first got it I took it out to sight it in and before I was done I decided it was a waste of money. The trigger was so bad there was no shooting it any where near accurate. I came back in the house and l looked up doing a trigger job on it on u tube and found a video of putting a axel bearing off a RC over a pin to in large the diameter. I went on ebay and ordered the bearing which th video told the size of for $8 shipped. When it came i put the bearing in as the video showed and it has a great trigger now. I have shot quite a few stripped gophers and starlings with it. I ha shot starlings out to about 50-60 yards with it. I never shot at paper with it. I shot at a nail head on a old wood grain bin. When I got so t hit with in a quarter inch of the nail head I stopped. I really like it, for a cheap gun. I have thought about getting a gas piston in .25 caliber. If I knew I could get one that would shoot as good as the .22 does I would order it. I hate the idea of spending $1000 on a pellet rifle, scope and compressor. I have shot a Air Arms S510 enough to know what a PCP will do, I just don't feel like I need one.
