My first thought as well, cost to shoot. I wonder how accurate it would be. At a good price, and really accurate to 50-60yds, might be an easy to shoot, handy pesting rifle for someone not “into” pcp rifles. Makes me wonder how long until there is an adapter to re-pressurize the cylinders with air?

The only Gamo I took a chance on was a Big Cat in 25 caliber. Rumor had it that the barrel was a BSA mfg. It is a good shooter, if a little loopy, due to about 650 fps pellet velocity. I can ding little three inch gongs at 40 yds reliably. I got it as it was a Black Friday sale item, $99 to my door.

I’ve already run into this with a Gen 2 Marauder. I ordered parts from 3 businesses to get what I needed to seal up a 25 cal Marauder. I still have yet to find the new style gauge block adapter for the new style pressure gauge.

If you look up reviews of the newer Air Venturi Avenge-X, it is an accurate and affordable airgun. A friend has one in 22, has been quite accurate, fun to shoot. He says he wouldn’t pick the synthetic stock again as it is 2 pieces, the forend being separate and can move.

Another possible pick would be a Brocock Compatto. Compact without being small, adequate air capacity, and if it’s like mine, quite accurate and affordable. There was a sports writer using one for small game with good things to say about it, Jim Chapman iirc…

You can get used marauders pretty cheap, and a marauder, hand pump and a scope will be worth the effort. A .177 will be surprisingly quiet and effective.

Two thoughts. 1. On a blog I read, a FWB Sport, new model, was scoped and BKL mounts were used successfully without movement. One of the things I have done is clean the dovetail of oil and a touch of locktite has held for me. 2. Consider the scope. You didn't say what scope you are using, find...

I ordered the one way fitting coupler from Best fittings and got it in 5 days.

If I had to pick a reliable air rifle, I’d go with my AA S510. Got it in 2017, and all I have done is buy pellets for it. Can be found used for good price and hits the same zero every time I pick it up.

I believe that the gold standard for oem quiet pcp was the Marauder .177. I have one, a Gen 1, and it is really quiet. There are two sounds, the ping when trigger squeezed and the pellet impact. I have shot it in the summer in my back yard and neighbors could not tell. My wife didn’t notice it...

Not to be a smart Alec, but a scope is the obvious solution. Mine is good to 40 yds pretty easy, but a very loopy trajectory. Mine likes the JSB 50 gr pellets the best. That rifle is also hold sensitive, takes some practice to get on its good side. A call/email to Hatsan might go a ways toward...

Looks like a guppy tank from Joe Brancato. I keep mine filled with a Yong Heng. I’m pretty sure that the Gx pump, CS4 model is also rated to fill buddy tanks like that.

There is a place on eBay UK that has kits for air arms. They list an email address ([email protected]). I would send an email and ask if they have kits or sizes for the regulator. No charge to ask…

I think that the S520/410 series popularity reflects the trend in high power, slug shooting capability. The AA rifles are good looking, well designed, accurate rifles. They aren’t easily adjustable 100 yard slug/pellet shooters. I have a S400 and. S510 xtra, both dead reliable, accurate fun to...

The things I have used include Bee Bopper, son in law told me they use it at his linemen job sites, really fast knockdown. The other that leaves no trace is brake cleaner. They drop instantly.
