FX DRS Classic + Element Immersive

I love the 14X emersive scopes on my Leshiy 2 and WILDCAT haven’t put one on my DRS yet because they just don’t look right on conventional sporting rifles. I put a Hawke Airmax on the DRS which has a good field of view compared to most other scopes but not as good as the Emersive.

I have break barrels, under levers, side levers, and even a few pcp's! Here's 2 consecutive five shot 25m groups through an underlever 97K this past week. Vortek PG4 full power kit on this one. Love my break barrels but when shots count I grab the 97K, TX200, FWB300, etc....

Thoughts on buying used?

very nicely said.I will add this, I've only been buying used benjamin discovery rifles. My fx guns and aea gun were bought new (the aea was a real stinker of an experience within the first 250 shots) my hunting partner bought a a used fx for 1000 bucks and it was like new. That fx was so good I had to have the very same one. The lesson I learned is buy once cry once. Fx isn't without shortcomings, but the premium guns tend to have less overlooked simple flaws ime. My aea was far too expensive for what it was when I got it.
My trusted airgun pal @Perle speaks very highly of the zelos, which might be worth exploring for you.
When I buy a gun I buy 2 oring kits for it before it has a leak. This has come in clutch. Owning 2 fx guns I need a wheelbarrow for the stash of orings I have for 2 rebuilds each
Don't be afraid to dive in and take a look at stuff, I didn't know anything about airguns beyond crosman and benjamin pump and a benjamin marauder (gen 1) until 4 years ago. I bought an fx with my old booze budget when I quit drinking and jumped in headfirst telling myself that this is my motivation to expand my mechanical prowess. You wouldn't believe what that experience has bled in to from pneumatic machine automation to classic cars and machining my own little parts for things.
Best advice I can give is fear not and respect pressurized vessels and plenums after regulators on allegedly degassed guns. Even if you fail you can fail upwards. Wear safety glasses, if it can go together it can come apart, and if something is hard to do you're probably doing something wrong.
Best of luck, I hope I can light a fire under some folks to be curious and fix their gear.
