Breakbarrel is something I’m concerned about her being able to perform reliably. How easy is it to prime, and how is it pressurized?
My dad is insisting I go for the Sig ASP20, which isn’t too far off from the R7. How do the two compare, aside from ease of use and FPS?
Get a good pump.
If you're OK with manual pumps, I like the Benjamin: https://www.amazon.com/Benjamin-High-Pressure-Hand-Pump/dp/B00460IFPW
It takes a lot of hard pumps to get to 2,500 psi (what I use for my Benjamin Armada 22 rifle). It's a serious workout!
I've been pretty pleased with my Beeman QB-78D once I upgraded all of the seals. Off the line, the seals are junk and it doesn't hold CO2. $15 in replacement seals and a little grunt work to take it apart (there are plenty of youtube guides) and it's a great little plinker. No idea what the fps is.
Ok. So do you think something like this would work? What brand do you buy?

for those who are following this post. Is this a decent rifle? https://www.amazon.com/Gamo-611006325554-Whisper-Fusion-Rifle/dp/B01APG0VUC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=gamo+.22+caliber+air+rifle&qid=1640137114&sprefix=gamo+.22%2Caps%2C506&sr=8-1
What sight is that, I need something for a couple of my plinkers. Is it https://www.amazon.com/Gamo-6212046154-Electronic-Illuminated-Green/dp/B00974YMHM

Make sure to use silicone chamber oil for lubing the chamber and not a petroleum based lube. Your manual will suggest which one to use, which will likely be the Crosman brand one.
I think that optic may be overkill, perhaps I’m looking at the wrong one.
I’ll look around for things I can mount to an 11mm dovetail, I’ll probably find something that’ll suffice. Worst case scenario I’ll just grab a picatinny adapter and throw on a holosun optic.
What specs do I need for the compressor? I’ve found this which seems to suffice for what’d be required.
