Do not buy a C02 pellet rifle. There are many better option available. Mainly springer, or spring piston variants. If you must get a gas gun, get a ssp.
You don't really want to be a slave to a C02 cylinder, do you?? -

PCP air rilfes are pretty cool. They make them from 17 cal on up to 50 cal and some even have integrated supressors.There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
The others, well......they just never learn.

Your question is; "I want to buy a centerfire rifle, what should I get?" Not really enough information.
We need budget, use, CO2 cartridge or bulk fill?sigpicComment

What do you plan to use the rifle for? When I started shopping around for a pellet rifle to help control the varmints on my property I decided to go with a springer because they are plenty powerful and don't require refill/recharge like Co2 or PCP. I went with a Gamo Big Cat. It is rated at 1,250 f.p.s. with the .177 PBA ammo and I dropped in an aftermarket trigger. It is plenty accurate and powerful enough to take down critters the size of a skunk or smaller.Comment

I think CO2 is kinda limiting
Best value and utility are single stroke piston types. Check out an outfit called Compasseco. They do all sorts of air guns and have some really superior products at great prices.
I have a Tech Force 87 that I got with scope for a little over a $100
I'd opt for something in .22 cal
Bigger pellets are more costly, but are better at long(for a pellet rifle) range and pest control than the .177Comment
