I know this is a long shot but I am looking for one of these .177 air rifles. I hope to only need it for a short time and had rather not pay retail . Does anyone have one they no longer need/use?

I have a whisper fusion .22 cal. I’ve shot it maybe 15-20 shots.
For ease of getting pellets and I believe the velocity is faster on the .177 that was why I chose .177. I don't know much about them. What are you asking for it and what condition is it in? I need one that will punch a hole in a plastic water bottle at about 50 yards.
The .177 is faster, but it also loses it's energy much faster than the heavier .22 cal pellets. And most places that sell decent pellets, will carry both calibers. Benjamin, Beeman and RWS make quality pellets. Daisy and Crosman... meh... accuracy will suffer.
Like I mentioned, I need to bust a water bottle under air pressure at 50-75 yards.
And your chances are better I think with the heavier pellet. 75 yards is a really long shot for a .177
Do you have one for sale?
No, just trying to help you along. I used to have a nice Beeman R1 that fired lead .177 pellets at 1000fps and at 50 yards it wouldn’t penetrate a 2 liter soda bottle at least half the time. The pellets are very light and they lose their velocity way faster than you think.
10-4, and I appreciate the help. I didn't realize the price point on those things!!!!
