Would the Benjamin Varmint 22 Power Pack be worth an extra $30 over the River? It is a Nitro piston. I don't really put any value in the laser and light that come with the rifle. Would rather have something durable and reliable more so than performance.

As already mentioned, definitely learn the artillery hold. If not, you are only in for frustration, and it won't be any fun. Once you get it down though, it will be pretty accurate and I think it actually disciplines your shooting across the board. Different guns like different pellets, that's why most good pellet manufacturers make trial packs. Find the one your gun likes, and enjoy.

I'm not familiar with any of those guns, but a pneumatic air gun is very different than a spring-piston air gun. A pneumatic (like your old Crosman 880 and most old Benjamin rifles) stores energy in compressed air after you pump it up to 10 times. A spring piston gun stores the energy after cocking once in a spring that only compresses the air when the trigger is pulled.

In general, the better quality and most powerful air guns are spring pistons (like Beeman and RWS).
