Hey All,
I'm not new to airguns but it has been a long time and I am new to PCP airguns. Once upon a time I had a custom Crosman 2400KT (which I took apart and broke a vital piece), a Beeman P17, and a Xisico XS25SFB with bamboo stock.
I would like to get back into plinking around but would like to dive into PCP airguns. Unfortunately, I am not sure as to where I should begin this journey. I'm not looking to spend an excessive amount of $$$ but would like a decent quality entry level PCP rifle that I can slowly upgrade. I'll mostly be shooting at a very short distance (roughly 15-20 yards) since I'm limited by my yard size, but I would love the ability to reach out long distance when I get the opportunity.
I have been thinking about getting either the Air Venturi Avenger or the Benjamin Marauder Pistol (both 22 cal.) but unsure if any others would be comparable at this price range ($300 - $400).
What would be a decent entry level rifle that's somewhat customizable?

Welcome to the wonderful, seemingly unending world of PCP air rifles! IMHO, both the Air Venturi Avenger and the Benjamin Marauder Pistol are good choices. I would throw an Umarex Gauntlet into that price range. Of the three, I feel that the Gauntlet has the most upgrades available (you wanted a "rifle that's somewhat customizable").
Owning both the Avenger and the Gauntlet in your chosen caliber (.22) I'd say that either one will suit you well. So, it is going to come down to what you're going to do with the gun. For target shooting out to 100 yards, I'd prefer the Gauntlet. For carrying in the field, the Avenger is lighter. Inside 50 yards they'll both shot the eye out of a chipmunk!
