Hello all, new member here.
I am not new to airguns but I am definitely new to pcp airguns! I have had 10 pump single shots for years. Recently bought a silent kat break barrel but not thrilled with it…
anyway, after much reading on this forum and watching reviews I have narrowed my choices down to 5 guns….sure I wish I could buy them all…lol but lets be real, I ain’t made of money!
I will be doing 2 things with the gun I choose, bench shooting with the wife at paper and whatever else targets (something we can actually do together) and hunting/pesting
The main quarry will be rats and squirrels. I am thinking I would like to be able to shoot a coyote as well but if that’s not really in the cards due to power then I have other guns for that. yeah I know I can get a .30 but that’s overkill for my previous mentioned quarry…lol.
I know this is going to be somewhat subjective, everyone has a favorite, I’m looking for the good, the bad, and the ugly on these guns….(Maintenance) I need a gun that will be forgiving as far as maintenance, meaning I don’t want to have to clean it after every 5 shots! and is easy to clean and take care of. (Accuracy) I understand shot accuracy and grouping has a lot to do with finding the right pellet and the man behind the gun, I have plenty of experience behind a gun. I will do my due diligence with finding the right pellet. Which gun has the best barrels? (Power) I know they all produce good power, so not sure if there is anything to talk about here or not? (Maneuverability) I hunt in some pretty think stuff at times, hence looking at bullpups, thoughts?
SO, here are the guns…..sound off! lol
1. Airgun Tech- Vulcan 2. Kalibr Gun- Cricket 3. Taipan-Mutant 4. Ataman- M2R 5. FX- Wildcat
