Looking into rifles to add to my xmas list to Ms Claus

My requirements are.

1. QUIET
2. Accuracy
3. Reliable
4. Power

I'm looking for something as powerful as I can get that has great accuracy and pack a punch.  Not sure what all fits under this platform, but would like to request your suggestions.

AA S400SL ERB or S410SL ERB ; or Talon SS if you like that style . If your pocketbook can stand it the FX rifles are nice. kirby

I`ve got only 2 PCP`s.....both in .22 and multi-shot.  The BSA Scorpion T 10 is quieter but abit heavier than the Air Arms S410 Carbine.  They`re both very accurate and powerful.

Johnny, I have a Talon with an 18" barrel that spits out Kodiaks at 900 fps. It comes with a 12" barrel as well. It has been tuned by talontunes and comes with one of his $220 shrouds for the 18" barrel and there is an SS cap for the 12" barrel all .22 cal. I cant believe I am thinking about selling this. It is very quiet, and very accurate with power to spare.
  Full tune, 2 shrouds, hammer mod, o-ring mod, vented bushing, bi-pod, AF handpump, scuba adapter, phillips pellet holder. No scope or rings. I just don't shoot enough to justify such a nice PCP. I think the springers are for me. The gun is only a year old, and new from Talontunes.com all together would be over 1,600. Looking for the 1,000 that I paid, and that would include shipping. I will list it in the classifieds this weekend.

I have a Logun S16-Xs that smacks a 14 grain pellet out there at 900 fps with barely more than a "click."  Cloverleafs are easy at 10 meters.  Haven't done the longer range stuff in very controlled fashion but reviews are out there by people who have. See...

Use the 10% off coupon at Pyramyd Air and it's ITD for about $920.

Another fine one is the BSA SuperTen Bull Barrel.  See...

I have an AA 410 Custom .22 and also a FX Cyclone .22 multi shot and both are considerably accurate. The quiet is the AA 410 between the two. Both put out max of 30 ft/lbs. They both have adjustable power settings. I plan on buying a new BSA Ultra Multi-Shot Bull Barrel .177, ft/lbs, in the near future.

re  Ultra Multi-Shot.  Utterly superb gun.  I have the version with the skinny barrel and the, um, blob screwed and glued on the end.  The bull barrel versions of both the Ultra and the SuperTen require higher than high scope mounts for large objective scopes.  My version of the Ultra takes a 6-24x50 Center Point, rubber lids and all, with standard high mounts.  SuperTen bull required stacking a Weaver converter and medium mounts to get the big scope clear.  The shroud on SuperTen was not nearly as effective as the "blob" on Ultra for shutting things up.  BSA appears to use the same innards whether 17, 22, or 25, i.e., with holes big enough for 25.  The cap on SuperTen is not glued, so I was able to add disks with smaller holes and improve things a lot.  It's still louder than my Ultra.  Ultra is very quiet, comparable to Benjamin 39x with just two pumps.  I can't say how quiet the bull barrel Ultra is, but my experience makes me wonder.  The firing cycle on Ultra is quirky and slow-ish with its sequence of finger movements requiring both hands, but it's endearing and very definitely an airgun thing.

My vote is for the Air Arms S410 ERB.  I have an S400C and love it to death, great quality gun and I've owned a few.  Also shot an older AA S400 Xtra a month or so ago and it had great power and accuracy and was also quiet compared to the power it produced.  I am a fan of Air Arms guns all of the way, I don't think you can go wrong unless you get a lemon, but haven't heard of a ton of those from AA.
