I bought the beeman P17 but the screw fell out of the rear sight the first day and I lost the spring. several days later the fiber in the rear sight broke off.
it also has not very accurate at all.
I don't know how much the quality of pellets effects accuracy.
I can shoot pretty good, and they seem to have a mind of their own sometimes.
even at close range.

any other options out there that are not too expensive.

Did you mean to say "to shoot -IN- the house", not at the house ?

I had a Crosman 1077 that could hit a Grackle at 20 yards. It was a first gen unit and you had to pump it 10 times per shot. It also favored the Beeman Silver Jets for accuracy. I don't think the new ones are in the same league.

I had a Crosman CO2 revolver that could hit inside a dime at 7m all day long. It was a first gen unit too and was hefty like a real one. It liked the plain old Crosman pellets.

My Remington air rifle likes the Beeman Grizzly pellets. and shoots well with them but shoots the high end Crosman and Gamo like crap so I am sure the pellet makes a difference.

My Weihrauch HW 75 single stroke pneumatic is a fantastic pistol. Maybe more than you want to spend, though, at about $450 or so. It's the one on the bottom in the photo below. It comes in .177 only, mostly because its power plant probably would not be powerful enough to impart much velocity to larger caliber pellets. It is, however, completely recoilless and extremely accurate and easy to shoot.

Above it is my HW 45, a spring piston version of essentially the same pistol. Weihrauch touts it as the "most powerful" air pistol available today. Mine is in .20 caliber, but it is also available in .177 and .22. And yes, it is very powerful. Difficult to cock and difficult to shoot well, however. It has a lot of that weird spring-piston "recoil" that really makes it jump around.



Weihrauch used to make a far higher quality version of your Beeman P17, sold as their HW 40. It was about half the price of the HW 45 or HW 75, in the mid $200 range. I'm not sure it is still available, as I do not see it on anyone's web sites. I love this pistol - I've actually won some matches with it, against guys shooting "real" match air pistols. It might be worth looking for one.

thanks
I would really like an IZH46M but I don't want to spend the $700 and I cant find one.

I will look up the 75

If you don't already, keep an eye on the classifieds on this website. Don't see very many of the high end 10M stuff. Do see FWB 65s on occasion. Sometimes less than $500.
