Got it- rifle arrived today (I ordered YESTERDAY!!!) Its prettier in person. This rifle exudes quality craftsmanship and class. What’s even better- it FITS ME perfectly and feels just like my competition silhouette rifle. If I get the accuracy I think I will from this rifle, I’m going to be a...

I’ll do some testing with what I have on hand and order more pellets based on what the rifle shows me- I’ll definitely keep those suggestions in mind when I order, if mine groups well with pellets I have on hand that are close to those weights- Thanks! DrG

 

Thanks! I still have lots to learn... Really looking forward to getting it and shooting some groups! DrGunner 

Actually the wait won’t be that long- according to UPS, it’s scheduled for delivery tomorrow! Now I just have to decide on an air source. I told my buddy to keep his scuba tank- it’s worthless for a gun that fills at 230bar. Theres a local paintball outfit that sells tank plus filling...

Hey Y’all- just wanted to say thanks again for the good advice you all shared. After much research and deliberation, I pulled the trigger this AM on a new Daystate Regal .177, unregulated. My fill station is 30 feet from where I shoot, so frequent top offs are no problem. The fine folks at...

DairyBoy- I almost bought that Jumbo- congrats! HeyU- thanks for the suggestion, the Artemis is the closest sporter style in my price range that anyone has suggested. I’ll check it out. Thank you! DrG

Not sure I understand... the Puncher or the Jumbo? There are many models of the Puncher, the Jumbo,is the one I’m most interested in, was there another you recommend I take a look at?

TNT19- I compete in rimfire NRA smallbore silhouette using an Anschutz 1712 in .22LR. I have three RWS Springers, but the recoil just not is not conducive for silhouette practice so I’d like to get a PCP. A Daystate Regal would be the perfect fit, but way over budget for my needs as backyard...

Hey gang- I’m looking for my first PCP to use for backyard PRACTICE for NRA smallbore (rimfire) silhouette. I have received tons of helpful advice from the great folks here, and while a Daystate regal would be perfect for my purposes, it is actually twice my budget for a rifle that will only...

Silencers Legal? Ive noticed many PCPs come with suppressed barrels or even thread-on silencers. I’m looking at a couple of used rifles, two of which have aftermarket silencers added on. I live in Illinois where all silencers are illegal- for firearms. What does this mean for me? None of...

Bob- Thanks for info on the S200. Many of you keep steering me towards a $1000-1200 air rifle. I’ve been shooting for 45 years, and I absolutely get that there’s a range of quality and a “bar” below which every individual won’t go. The further we delve into any hobby, the higher the bar tends to...

For this, just hitting them – I’m actually using cut out targets made of Birchwood cap Casey ShootnC targets so that I can see my hits. The knocking them over part comes when I actually shoot metallic spinners or true knock downs with my Anschutz 1712 at the actual distances of 40, 60, 77, and...

intenseaty22- No worries, brother! I really appreciate the help you’ve provided already! oldsparky- YOU are the type of shooter I’ve been looking to hear from. I posted another thread on the same topic a month or so ago trying to explain that my springers are just not adequate for...

Thanks for the link... I’m looking for a used Regal, the link is to a Kral, but it is a great price!
