Air pistols?

[oregon45]

My lovely bride and I are moving in to our first home in November. It's 2.5 acres and comes with a barn that has a hay loft perfect for an 10 meter airgun range. I'm looking for suggestions for a target air pistol, preferably one fed with compressed air from tank rather than cartridges or pumping. What brands and models should I take a look at?

Check out the Benjamin Marauder pistol, sometimes called a P-rod, or the Crosman 1720T. Both can be had at Pyramydair.com. Also you can add a rifle stock for a small carbine.

Not exactly what you have requested but my old Daisy M722 has been stellar all around whilst killing chit here and there.

I can not help you with compressed air versions but I have been shooting a Beeman/Webley Hurricane for years and it is great for cats, rats and starlings! I have a miniature set of steel silhouette targets I got years ago and I have no clue how many hours I have spent with those set up on a 2x4 cross piece shooting them off!

Thanks guys, a silhouette setup is definitely part of the plan.

My airgun preference runs to the far right... Picked up a FWB F2 in the 80s. it is a CO2 gun. Runs on a CO2 cylinder filled with liquid CO2. Recently picked up a FWB 65, a spring gun, I'd been trying to talk the owner out of 30 years. Prior to the advent of the CO2 guns the FWB 65 held every record in the books. These target guns are mechanical marvels. For their intended range they are the most accurate guns on the planet. They aren't cheap but they are lifetime investments. The .177 pellet is larger than the X ring on the 10 meter target. Current state of the art guns run on compressed air.

Very cool Axe! Those FWB's are neat guns and I'm leaning toward just biting the bullet and buying a higher end target pistol, given that I've got other guns for small-game / pest-control duty.
