1ST PCP

[hdrk1111]

ok so this is probably a stale question. Buying my first pcp and am undecided between three rifles. 1 Daystate Regal Xl. 2 HW100s. 3 AA S510 walnut FAC. Mostly plinking and small game and pest control. Any information of actual owners would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance,
Bob

Hi Bob,

All three are certainly good looking rifles! Can't speak beyond that on the HW or AA, but have owned a Huntsman Regal XL for some time now & it's been as good as advertised. Has ~50-55 shots worth of sweet spot, and is very easy to fill with a hand pump if that's a consideration. Have achieved a few 1/2" or slightly less groups at 50 yards when the stars align, & will do 1" or less repeatedly. The catch is that conditions have to be nearly perfect (no wind) since it's a .177. Have seen reports of 45+ shot sweet spots for .22. Pretty darn good for an unregulated rifle with a relatively small air cylinder. Here's a chrony string shot with it's favorite pellets, H&N Barracuda Match:

Hi Bob
Regal XL, it’s one of fun gun, it doesn’t picky about pellets, what ever I put in and it does a nice group (25yrs for me)
it has great shot count too, easy 50 shots per fill.
i can’t find any negative about it.
just my .002 cents
Good luck.
T.

I have an S410f TDR 22. It's a fantastic gun. If I was to buy another AA rifle, it might have to be an S510.

Thanks for all the helpful replies guys. I am leaning towards a PCP but the long wished for HW35E is tugging hard at me. ?

thanks again,
Bob

If you're willing to spend in that price range, you also might want to get one with a regulator. I have a Daystate Huntsman Regal XL in .22cal and it's an awesome rifle for an unregulated airgun. Daystate also came out with a new Huma regulated Huntsman in that price range. I haven't seen any reviews on it yet because it's new. There's also the FX Streamline that's regulated that you can purchase with the laminate stock in that price range. Plenty of options these days with these new rifles coming out. What caliber are you looking at getting?
