Now I'm thinking get a 'bottle' to bring to the range with me to top off. Haven't even touched the gun and already thinking of what more do I want (G).

OK folks, I have bit the bullet, or actually the pellet. Stopped of at my LGS. Ordered a Benjamin Marauder, 22 cal, synthetic stock. Stopped off at Amazon. An inexpensive compressor, a Vevor. and a spinning target to shoot at (G). A small step for mankind, a big step for me!

The vast majority is MY money. All she can do is complain, and there are enough things that I do/don't do/do wrong/forget to do, etc. for her to complain about. Its just so much easier for me to see what I want, go out to the car, get the envelope of cash (usually 1K) and no one the wiser (G)..

Old and fat (G). 74 YOA and the idea of a hand pump filling a larger tank gives me second thoughts.. I would like to make it to at least 75 without a heart attack/stroke..

Bench shooter, 50 yard range. Just like to sit there in the shade and put little holes in the paper where I want them. Thinking a Benjamin Marauder 22 caliber and a low priced (~$250) compressor. If I stick with it I can always buy a small bottle (2 - 3 L?) to top up at the range. So many...

Thanks for all of the good words. My main problem is avoiding using a credit card for purchases. My wife of 52 years yells at me "You don't need another gun" (G) when she gets the CC bill. If there was a dealer within 20 miles I'd be there with an envelope of cash. Right now thinking of a...

Thanks! All recommendations go into a file for some time in the future!!

Going through this forum, had to take break from reading so I jumped to the end. Have a Hatsan model 25 super charger in .22 caliber. Sit down at the bench at the range, toss a can down towards the backer, and start shooting at the can and knocking it down the range. Its a guaranteed tin can...

I'll check the classifieds out. So used to buy either new sight unseen or used if I can actually touch it!

A lot of good suggestions, making me think! I've only found one store within 20 miles that sells pellet guns. Thats where I got my Hatsan mod 25 in .22. They just sell springers. Thinking the only choice I have of feeding my pcp yen is to take a list of guns to them and see what they can order...

I'm doing a lot of thinking on getting into the pcp rifle world. More I read, the more I learn! Maybe a 50 buck handpump. Maybe a $300.00 compressor. And a 3L mini bottle. Amazon is my friend!

married for 52 years I'll survive (G)..

Thanks! A lot of good suggestions, I've copied your post to a file for further study as it where. So many choices at so many price points!

I'm thinking of simple like a Diana Stormrider. Major problem is there are no stores with PCP rifles in stock so I can pay cash and avoid my wife telling me I don't need any more guns. I'm in no rush, its not like I don't have enough guns to shoot (G)..

Yep, My motto is "If its worth doing, its worth over doing". Easy enough to jump on Amazon and click a couple of times and its in my hands in a couple of days. Just prefer to pay in cash and not use the CC. Been married so long the warranty has expired and I can't return her (G).
