Air rifle recommendations?

[Pygmy]

Looking for a .22 caliber break barrel air rifle.  So many of the reviews that go from 0-10 that I don't know who to trust.   Since I value the opinions of the HuntWa members I'd like to ask if anyone has a personal recommendation.   Noise level is a factor as this will primarily be a backyard pest weapon.   Thanks!

If I was going to get another air rifle it would be the shrouded barreled Benjamin Marauder.  For backyard pest control, I'd lean toward .177 caliber.

So does that one fill from a Scuba tank?  Seems like there's a lot of different ways to charge them, springs, pumping, CO2, Scuba...

PCP (pre charged pneumatics) can be charged with a high pressure/low volume hand pump or a scuba tank.  PCP run on about 3,000 psi.  CO2 guns run on about half that.

How does one get a SCUBA tank filled without having diver certification?

I don't think you do.....no shop I know of will fill a tank unless you have cert.
