If I were going to have to save awhile, get licensed, get permission to buy a particular gun and all that jazz, I would definitely not get a Discovery. Get something a bit nicer, Marauder at a minimum. In addition to the power and accuracy of a Discovery, the Marauder adds:
If there's a big mark-up in AU for Benjamins, you should consider something higher-end, like Air Arms S510, Brocock Compatto or Bantam, BSA R-10, etc. I don't think I'd pay more than $500 US for a new one of one of the finer British rifles are in the ballpark.
It sounds like it might be similar to the New Jersey/New York law for buying a handgun. Since those guys need a state permit to buy a SPECIFIC handgun, they are willing to spend more and get something really nice; it is almost a once-in-a-lifetime purchase.
How old are you? If you ever visit the Chicago area, message me here and maybe we can get out shooting.
- Very quiet report; truly backyard-friendly, if you're allowed to shoot in your backyard.
- A nicer action. Smoother all-around and less binding.
- A reliable 10-shot repeater (or 8, in .25 caliber)
- Higher shot count at the factory tune. 35 shots to a fill on .177 or just call it three magazines' worth.
- Still easy to pump, though not QUITE as easy as a Disco.

Ye I was think that if I have to save a wait I should buy something really nice. I live on a farm to no problem with noise. I am 14, and 15 at the end of the year so it might be a while be for anything happens. Thanks for your help

Tom - Congratulations on the Disco. It'll serve you for a very long time.
My first PCP (and only so far) is a Marauder. Same family of guns, and I greatly enjoy shooting it. You'll do the same with the Disco.
Stay in touch on the forums, we need that international flavor!

My apologies! I misread one of the posts! Keep saving then, it's a good gun, and there more and more lower cost choices coming around. Disco is good, will serve well for a long time.

All good night buy something a bit better but don't know what because I will have to save a get one from the U.S. Or somewhere I think something else because of all the trouble. Might as well get something pretty good. I understand that the disco is good but something a bit more power.
Thanks tom.

Not sure what prices you pay for different airguns.....but don't discount the Discovery.
It is an outstanding value, accurate and can be tuned and modified easily. Also easy to fill at 2000k.
I own several more expensive airguns, but reach for the Discovery often.
