Welcome!

Thanks so much for this tip. I was fighting with running anything through the barrel of my Avenge-X to clean it. This was the fix. 2ChainzPain

Thanks MJS! 22 cal. for now but, I will get the 177 and maybe the 25. That was one of the deciding features was the optional additional barrel kits.

A while back I made a posting asking for help choosing a rifle. After reading and considering all the helpful responses to my request, I went the PCP direction and bought the Air Venturi Avenge - X Classic. Over-all it's a little bigger than expected in size and weight but, it shoots nice right...

I don't want to violate any rules but, what jarmstrong said.

Thanks for the welcome, Stan in KY. My interests are to do some plinking (I'm sure friends and family will enjoy it too) and reduce the tree rat population by eating a few.

Thanks for the reply. I was simply checking if there were other options. I got it, there isn't. :)

I understand the 10 day 10 post thing. I there a legal way for me to reach a "seller" to buy a item when I can't PM them? I am concerned the item may be sold by the time I hit the lifting of the restriction.

Thanks for all of the replies and for all of the information. And for not making me feel like a dummy with all my questions. :) I am definitely leaning towards the PCP side. There are several factors, including lack of recoil, ease of follow-up shots, and adjustability. It seems a little more...

LongshotFan, Thanks for the reply. I definitely want to deal with the squirrels but, I think I will enjoy plinking some of the different target outside of paper targets. Recoil does concern me and that is why I was considering a model with some kind of management system. Another concern is if...

Maxtrouble, Thanks for the welcome and your reply. I joined the forum expecting knowledgeable responses. And I have not been let down. :) When I get the time, I will research those models you mentioned and consider your input.

Thanks for your reply. I am seeing that the PCP route can be costly. Several posters have mentioned going with a manual pump to save money. But, I know from inflating beds and tubes for pulling my kids behind my boat, that manual pumping can be some work. I wonder how much work is it to manually...

I will always remember, buy once cry once. Thanks! :)

JimD, Thanks for the reply and all of the information. You got me really considering a PCP. I have looked up the models you suggested and researching other models in my budget. I definitely want an accurate model. Question, a regulator will help with consistent pressure and help with accuracy...
