Quietest sub 500 fps .177 or .22 air rifle

Different people, different stroke I guess.
To me, spending $$ on a nice air (low power) air rifle makes a whole lot of sens.
- Because of the life/work/other what not, I don't get to use my powder burner as much as I'd like
- But I can often make time to shoot in the backyard, basement.
- Since I'm mostly shooting 10M-20M, I don't need extra power
- Since it's reasonably quiet, the wife don't care.
- If it's the rifle/pistol that's going to get the most use, might just as well shoot something nice


Daisy makes some nice, quiet, accurate rifles

Very good points, I totally forgot about the high end Daisy rifles. If you want something REALLY accurate, check out this baby:

https://www.dlairgun.com/Air-Rifles/Daisy/024_753S_Match.html

Lothar Walther barrel for $300! Perfect velocity for you, dead easy single stroke pneumatic with no recoil and next to no noise. These are known for insanely tight groups (sub 1/4" at 10 yards, benchrested).

With the sights on that, you wouldn't even need a scope at shorter ranges.

I'm going to have to go in and put in a vote against Crosman / Benjamin products. I've owned a lot of them throughout my life, and I've only kept one. My custom 2240 with the 10" LW barrel.

/\ looks like an excellent choice. The Walther barrel alone makes this rifle tempting.

However, I'd like to hear from actual users before pulling the trigger though. I want to know about long term durability and accuracy. Online reviews are mixed and they say the peeps are plastic. And one reviewer mentioned air leaks.

Are these like springers in that it needs an artillery hold?
 
There are literally 1000's of these rifles getting used and abused by various cadet corps across Canada.

Yes, peeps are plastic, but they do the job.
The only air leaks I've seen are on rifles that were never oiled and seldom used.
Should you ever need to reseal it, it's a simple enough process
The trigger is easily improved (http://www.pilkguns.com/daisy853tm.shtml)

Mine on temporary loan to a nephew, so that he can practice his standing...
 
So far the quietest airgun rig I've shot is a 2260 made from a 2240 with Crosman's longest barrel. It just made a "tick" sound going off. I thought there was a problem until a chrony said otherwise.

I have a very quiet non PAL CZ630.

Because there's hardly any impact of the piston against the front of the cylinder, I think this low powered AG will last longer than my Diana 45s or HW97s.

x2

i own quite a few springers ... the cz 630 is probably one of the quietest and also very accurate, mine started life as a non pal. still quiet after upgrading the spring to 600fps+. other option is a ruger air hawk a cheaper version of a diana 34, which also happens to be very accurate.

you wouldnt regret either for your backyard shooting
