Fellow NYer here. Totally agree, there’s no place to FEEL an airgun unless we’re down in the sub $200 range. Not disparaging these guns though and very glad Tractor Supply had my first varmint killer when needed. Seems it was too good for me. I figured if I’m impressed with this ( Umarex Synergis) I’ll see what these pcp’s are. It started an addiction . It’s all bought online though.It can become very frustrating, making decisions about stocks , accessories, set ups, and performance when you live out and what I would call “the sticks“ which is where myself and my fellow geezer plinkers find ourselves. No place to go to put your hands and eyes on something before you make the purchase. I guess like many we rely on reviews ,reports and feedback like you provided to give us any kind of guidance. This form has a very broad range of airgunners with diverse interests . Which is one of the great things about being a member. I imagine there are many in the same financial condition I find myself ,which is I can afford to buy something like that but only once .And the high end PCP market is getting more and more crowded and competitive .The technology and performance has just exploded over the past several years.
I don’t think my wife’s gonna believe I won another air gun in a poker game, or as a door prize at a gun club meeting.Guess I’m just one luck guy
Hey Terry, I was finally able to get out and shoot the new 24" Challenger .357 Standard I got from you a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't able to get any 1" groups, but other than the H&N Grizzlys, the other slugs I tried shot pretty good. At 50 yards the Lee 125's (actually 129 gr) that I sized both .356 and .357 had 5 shot groups of 2 3/8"....not too great, but I may get those smaller as I get used to the trigger. The 110 gr Zan's did much better at about 1 3/4" and the FX Hybrids did really well at 1 3/8". I'm guessing I can get those to shoot better too. I've never compared my chrony to any others, so it may be a bit off, but I got a high of 243.0 fpe for the Lee 125 sized at .356 and a low 5th shot at 189.3 fpe for the Lee 125 sized at .357. For the Lee's the average 5 shot energy was 217.0 fpe. I was really surprised at the FX Hybrids. I only shot the one 5 shot group, but they had a high of 185.4 fpe and a low of 162.4 for an average of 174.0 fpe. I think I'm going to like this gun! I was also really surprised at how poor the H&N Grizzlys shot. I didn't even try to measure the "group", but you can see how scattered they are in the picture. I just got an NOE 359-115-HP mold yesterday, so I need to get some more casting and shooting done with those. Thanks for the rifle!
