And price can not be over $2,000. I work on a farm and am looking for a air rifle that can take out medium size game at far distances in .22 cal, Without a huge noise report. ThanksI am looking for the kinjg of kings of air rifles in .22 for hunting gmedium size game and etc.?
CF45 nailed it. .22 air-rifles don't really have have enough power for medium game animals (ranging from coyotes and javelina to small deer). If you want an air-rifle that has enough power to be assured of a kill, you'd need something like the Quakenbush series in either .458 or .308.
If by medium game you meant small game animals like squirrel, rabbit, birds, raccoons, possum, etc... Look for a .22 caliber air-rifle that generates a muzzle velocity in excess of 800-900 fps like the Gamo Hunter Extreme22 or maybe the Gamo Whisper22.I am looking for the kinjg of kings of air rifles in .22 for hunting gmedium size game and etc.?
The only animals that I think are suitable for using an air rifle for are rabbits, squirrels, and similar sized game, even then a .22lr is your best choice, cheaper rifle and ammos about the same price. I don't think even the most powerful air rifle is suitable for racoons or simalar sized animals, coons are tough, and I don't think you should use anything less than a .22 rimfire rifle, and it will also extend your range of fire also.
There are no .22 caliber air rifles(pellet) that will take medium size game*, reliable, cleanly and humanely**.
The most powerful, and reasonable priced .22 caliber air rifle I know of is the Evanix Hunting Master AR6(64.6fpe)

*I'm going to take it by ';medium size game'; that you mean, Fox, Coyote, Bobcat, etc
**Can it be done, yes, but only with head shots at close range and even then it's an iffy proposition.
Later: %26lt;added%26gt; in response to your added info. The Hunting Master AR6 is capable of taking racoon size game, out to a reasonable range.
raccoons are pretty easy. a 500fps with 14gr pellet to the head can put down a raccoon at 20yards. the gamo extreme.22 or a webley patriot.22 will easily take it out at further distances if you hit it in its chest or head. i've done plenty raccoons at 50yards with my 850fps cfx22.

pcp's are not quiet, they are more powerful than springers and much louder. if you want quietness than you will have to scrafice on distance and power.
Check into Anschutz, they make air rifles, 22s and 22 Hornets. They are a premium line of German made equipment. Very Decent quality for any price range.

Buy an old heavy barreled Winchester .22 and shoot ';shorts or cb caps'; there is almost no report to speak of.
