I would seriously consider a Marauder, multi-shot, decent build, foster fitting for fill, good barrel, as quiet as it gets, very reasonable cost for a decent built PCP. Another route to consider is a used Air Arms, or BSA rifle. One thing to think about, 45 FPE is pretty high up the scale for an air rifle. There are certainly are rifles that will hit that and more but it usually requires some compromise, lower shot count, increased noise being the two biggest. Most decent PCP rifles will hit 18-23 FPE, and 25-35 FPE in .22 without giving up a decent shot count.

I was impressed when Joe Joe came to my home to visit with his friend Amad. They both had some very beautiful air rifles. I was very impressed with the build quality and handling of Amad's HW 100S. One of the smoothest shooting PCP's that I have shot so far. Joe Joe broke out the Blizzard .22 which if I am not mistaken will push lead up to 45 FPE. Very nice build and comparable to the Korean PCP.s in quality. It was amazingly accurate and very quiet. I never asked Joe Joe what the shot count was but I did drop my chin when I saw him standing and shooting the tops off of daisies at 40 yards. Quite impressive to say the least..:)

I vote for MY BSA Super 10....975 fps in .22,but  I`m a hunter not a shooter!Just my .02! :)

Anything that dosen"t look like a starwars prop....
The Evanix blizzard"s sound like a good shooter..
think I will be investing in one...have the AR so may
 as well go for the full set

Jorge - Gotta ask.  What do you want to do with 45fpe.  Elephants don't live in North America anymore.  Take that equation out and you have many quality air guns you can buy and you won't have to fill it every ten shots.     Paul

George,,,, you're gonna run into that "pump / scuba" dilemma no matter which PCP you buy, it just goes "hand in hand".  

As you know, I have a Talon and a Condor and there aren't words to describe how much I love those rifles,,,,, that being said though I would say the Marauder sounds like it might be the best choice for you.  Low fill pressure shooting options, magazine fed, all kinds of adjustments you can make on the rifle to tune it to your shooting preferences, quiet as the proverbial  "mouse breaking wind"  :) ,,,  American made, already set up for slings, and judging from the reviews so far seems to be performing up to expectations.   Sounds like one heck of a a package for the price.....  just my 2 cents......

I had that delima of the Pump/Scuba Tank, back when I bought my first PCP. I decided on the pump but after the first fill, I wished I had put the $300.00 for an FX pump towards a scuba tank, yoke and hose.. So I sold my pump for $150.00 and bought a new 80cc scuba tank for $149.00 and the rest of the stuff for $160.00. For a total of $309.00. Some times we have to make a mistake before we realize what we should have done in the first place...:) Now I have two 80cc tanks, and just have to lean over with my PCP and pick up the fill hose, insert and turn valve to fill....:)

[geewhiz380]

gene how long will those tanks last u and how many times can it be used ....

[Gene_SC]

Let me see.. I had them last filled in November. I have gotten at least 20-30 fills so far filling my FX Cyclone, AA-410 Classic, BSA Ultra, and my AA S200TA. They are down to 2700 psi now but still plenty of fills left. I normally do not filll my PCP's all the way to 3000 psi. So I still have plenty of fills left. Probably go down to the scuba shop where I get them filled for $5.00 the first of June or when my leg is available..:)

[geewhiz380]

thanks where i live there is plenty of shops that might be able to get fills thanks im going with toalon tunes just to shop around before making a decision cause to so many to chose from but i want a very good one if im going to spend at least 1200.00 why not on one that i really gonna enjoy without any regret .....thanks gene and may the force be with u and hope your leg heals quick so u could go dancing with those rifles u have,god bless u and your family buddy ....jorge nyc......

Jorge my T.T. Condor will do 46 F.P.E. (Beeman Kodiaks .22 Cal. 21.1 Gr. 1000Fps) and is  quiet as can be. I get 40 shots from 900 to 1000 to 900 Fps. I can shoot 1/2 groups at 50 yards all day long under the right conditions no problem. Tony is THE MAN!!

L GIVE U AT LEAST 45 FPE ,LENTH OF BARREL ,

Wow, just get a .22 powder burner.  You can pick one up for $150, costs a nickle a shot or a couple of cents if you buy ammo in bulk.  You can get up to 165 ft-lbs. You can shoot shorts and they'll still out power just about anything and are pretty quiet in a long gun.  My advice is a CZ452 Trainer. Dead accurate, cheap at about $250. No pumping, lots of power.

I wonder why people go to the super complexity required in very high power air rifles.   It seems to me to miss the whole point.

What would 45 ft-lbs do for you that 25 wouldn't?
