Airforce Condor or Talon?

[Charles McKinley]

Hello all,

Given the ammo shortage I have decided to get a high power airgun.  I'm getting a .22 for a little more oomph than .177 but more available pellets than .25.

I looking at Airforce as they are made in the U. S. A.

I know I can get a Benjamin Nitro for about 1/4-1/2 the money but I'm tired of made in China on everything.

Any direct knowledge of the differences between them?   Is it worth the extra $100?

Any others worth looking at that are made in the USA or Europe in the under $655 range?  There ia a refurbished one on Pyrmidair that I'm considering if I can order it before it sells out.

Pyrmidair has pellets in bulk as well.

P.S.  I already have 4 Daisy 885 from CMP.

Thank you,

Stand

It depends on what you want and want it for.

For $600 you can get a Crossman Mar 177upper for an AR. It is accurate and can make a good training rifle for precision AR's. Good sights available from Creedmoor Sports, Pilkington (pilkguns), Champion's Choice, and Champion Shooter Supply.

For $500-665, you can get a used FWB 301 or 600 series target rifle from http://www.airguns.net/classifieds/classifieds.php?adsort=forsale

If you are looking for a hunting rifle, .22 or. 25 would be good as would a 9mm, I think that there are Korean, European and Chinese sources for those.


I have a Chinese Break barrel .22, the MAR177, a Daisy 883, and an FWB 301. Without a doubt the highest quality and most accurate of these is the FWB.
