My old Daisy.

That is pretty cool looking!

I have a friend who has two break barrel pellet guns, same maker, made in china.

They're decent, came with a cheap scope and were inexpensive. Nothing to the caliber (pun intended) of what you have pictured.

He and I sighted them in, he wants to use them for squirrel. The problem is the trigger pull is HEAVY with a whole lot of travel. It's like 12 pounds the whole 50 yards of travel. It's bad enough the guns can't be fired accurately without using a rest.

I am fascinated. Not only by your air rifle but the air pump.

Thats some serious $hit. Ive got a Gamo that will take out cats and squirrels no problem. How "loud" is it? If its intended purpose is night hunting, i presume its near or less than a suppressed rifle?

I learned to shoot with a sweet Sheridan Blue Streak back in the '60s, but I haven't owned a pellet gun for many years.

I was thinking of getting one for the grandkids to shoot, but I don't know anything about these modern pump guns.

I had the single-shot version of that same pistol. Mom won it at a bingo game & gave it to me on my 11th birthday.

Special pump that came with the rifle? I don't see a standard hand pump being capable of 3000 psi

Nice Marauder! I've been eyeing up some of the more "precision" pellet guns these days myself, but I keep getting distracted by other stuff.

I still have the first air rifle I ever shot, an old Gamo "Expo" that my dad bought years ago. I put a new seal in it about ten years or so ago. It's a good shooter, but it doesn't fling them at more than 600 fps or so.

I always wanted one of those Crosman MKI pistols too. Figuring the costs of Co2 for an afternoon of shooting, its probably cheaper than shooting the Ruger pistol its patterned after, with ammo prices being what they are now.
