I don’t know about the huntsman as I’ve never used one, but I was shooting baked beans off the top of an old table at 35 yards with my .177 hw100ks. You won’t get much better than that with a 12ft lb air rifle. I’ve got an a-tec mod on it and it’s quiet. Is it quieter than a huntsman? I don’t know but it can’t be much louder.
