I just converted a .22 cal. CFX with scope ($169.99 from Airgundepot) with a Theoben gas ram ($145 from Airgunwerks) along with an upgraded trigger ($30 from AirgunsOfArizona) and a JM seal ($10 from AirRifleHeadquarters).  I'm putting 14.3 grain Daisy wadcutter pellets into 3/4" pine with the rifle and the holes look like they were made with a drill.

A couple to consider would be 1) a B40, because of the recent rumblings that the BAM guns may be less available in the future, and 2) one of the Cometa offerings (Fusion or Fenix).

Your most important requirement is to buy something I don't have, so I can try it out at the next NTAGM get-together....

There is an Evanix AR6 that might be within your price range in the classified section right now. I

The Evanix AR6 Hunting Master produces 60+ fpe with the 32.4 grain pellets. It is a powerhouse and can easily take out varmits at 100+ yards.



Blessings,

Congrats on the new gun Garry!  Hard to beat it for the price they are going for that's a steal.  Make sure to bring it next time you come over.

Garry have you seen that Greg has a prototype of a mod to increase the capacity.  "Haven't had time yet to test shot count on a .22 but the .177 showed a good gain, Set for 20fpe I got 102 shots with no p.o.i. change at thirty yards."

I have not seen that yet.I will have to take a look at that because that would be awsome since the Mrod is going to be my FT rifle and 100 shots @ 20fpe would shoot a match with one fill.
