Propper hunting air rifles start around the $600 mark, take a look at the range that Weihrauch offer and some of the other big name brands.
good Co guns will set you back around the $1000 mark and more if you want a semi auto one.... but well worth it, heaps of fun.

I realise theyre not a full on target rifle, but why did you knock it back, just the plastic feel?? the finish? I doubt a rifle from a long time air/co2 rifle producer could be so bad as to fall apart and not shoot...

A mate of mine has just an air rifle, past down from dad that he's just hanging on to for sentimental reasons.
Same storage requirements as we know. He had an inspection a while ago and the copper said he too thought it was a waste of time to come out and check on just an AR.
