    I'll give you a specific one and then the reasons. Weihrauch HW77k or Weihrauch HW97k if you are not going to use open sights.
    Why?
    - Superb, adjustable, two-stage Rekord trigger.
    - Very accurate with a quality pellet like JSB Exact. 1 cm grouping at 40m with the right pellet and the right shooting technique.
    - 18-19J. Not too powerful, because powerful springers are usually very hold sensitive and difficult to shoot accurately.
    - Superb workmanship. Future heirloom. If treated correctly it will outlast you. Pride of ownership.
    - Power enough for an effective, clean kill headshot on a possum (between the eye-ear) out to around 40m.
    - Low to medium loudness for stealthy shooting.

    The HW97k is one of the most used Hunter Field Target springers, together with the Air Arms TX200. And for a reason!
