I just retired and loving to shoot ordered a Marauder 22 cal for paper and things that want to eat everything in my garden. I am in the middle of no were with open land and woods all around. My nearest neighbor is over a mile away but didn't want to use a high power rifle. I have 4 springers but wanted a PCP. The Marauder fits that bill perfect. It will be in my hands in just 2 days.

Hope your .22 will be as accurate as you hoped.

If it isn't, trade it in on a .25. You have the room for it and the little added noise shouldn't be an issue for you.

And welcome to the forum!

How are you going to fill it with air?

4500 psi SCBA is about the best. Also having your own compressor is even better.

Hand pumping is only good for the 177 or light shooting.

Scuba really doesn't work well because the 3000 psi max tank pressure is too low to get many fills.

6000 psi nitrogen works well for some.

Congrats on your new purchase! I guarantee those springers of yours will be up for sale in no time at all...

+1 for the .25 if accuracy fails. Hits like a brick, stupid acuurate.

I would 2nd the thoughts of others on the virtues of 4500psi SCBA, damn hard to beat, light-weight, ability to tether for "infinite" shots, etc. The hand pump is a lost cause unless you have a strong back and the desire for alternative forms of exercise .

If finding a place to fill one proves difficult in your area, I would definitely recommend a 6000psi nitrogen setup and Guppy tank from Joe Brancato. IMHO it's the best route period if you have the funds. It's like having a nearly unlimited supply of clean, dry air on tap ready for use at a moments notice. No messing around with multiple noisy compressors that require periodic maintenance and rebuilds, no waiting hours for a fill, no desiccant fIlters or worry of water in your air, etc. Do yourself a favor and skip that hassle. They can be sourced fairly easily from local welding supply companies, just shop around for the best price and have them deliver one to your doorstep, then shoot as much as your heart desires!
