Companies like Beeman, Crosman, Gamo, Winchester, RWS, Logun, Webley & Scott, Benjamin Sheridan, and others manufacture air rifles at affordable rates of between $50 and $200. Factors like self-containment, accuracy, sound level, and convenience are what’s important when your looking at an air rifle, and these factors fluctuate wildly from on the cheaper makes depending on the way the air rifle is powered up. Spring-piston, gas spring, pneumatic, multi-stroke, single-stroke, and CO2 each have pros and cons. For example, a spring-piston gives out the lowest amount of noise. Many people consider a CO2-powered air rifle for convenience. They’re cheap, and they don’t require repeated cocking.
