Hey guys!
I'm looking for the essentials for buying my first pcp rifle, I have a short list worked out for myself but I'm wondering if all of this is necessary or if I'm leaving things out.
Rifle: FX impact .25, I really liked the wildcat but as a lefty, I think it would be better to spring for the impact.
SCBA cylinder for charging
Scope: currently looking at the hawke sidewinder TAC 30 6.5-20x42
Bipod: Atlas
Chronograph and range finder? Are these necessities? My physics degree and love of tinkering tell me that these are a must have if I want to do any significant data collection/analysis. I'd also like to get a scope cam and mount to have a better idea of what the pellet is doing in flight, I haven't done much research on this yet and as ill be doing my "parts" buying in segments within the next 6 months, I have plenty of time to figure that out.
Tool kits? What will I need to work on my gun?
Any recommended cleaning kits?
I'll have a better idea of which pellets I'll be getting closer to the time I'll be purchasing the rifle, more reviews should be out by then and hopefully plenty of pellet benchmarks.
I realize I'm asking for a lot of information in one post but I've spent a few days lurking and figured I'd sign up and start trying to get my build together.
Looking to do a healthy mix of both hunting and target shooting.
Any advice is appreciated!
