I competed back in my military days. But that was more about access to the range, a dedicated rifle and ammo for free. The USAF generally did not let most non-cop jobs stateside even qualify after basic training. I have no interest in competition ignoring the fact my skills have deteriorated...

Anschutz is getting close at $5000. https://www.anschutznorthamerica.com/store/p49/9015_ONE_3_Position_%28014747%29.html But that falls into the Competition exception. You pay what you must to win. The other 95% have no use for a rifle like that. Or the Black Wolf or the next FX incremental...

Again, when then final point is made "spending the money" I will never spend that money, but I actually can identify some of the cost differential that each and every one of the people that here actually buy a Black Hawk failed to do. Machining and Materials. While the BT65 is a fine rifle it...

And after asking for 8 pages to define what you are getting the ONLY thing identified is a name. Not a feature, not a function, just the name. Oh and "it costs more which makes it a finer thing"

Still at 5 posts.

If you need to imagine laughing at people for spending ridiculous amounts of money for air guns is whining, be my guest. I am sure you have many other rationalizations to justify your expense.

550cc stock is more than most. But i agree, a bit of drop down on the tube and a bottle, with adapter, would fit. The power requires a lot of air. The stock 190bar setting is a bit anemic. So you crank up the regulator. Gun also may need some port work but I'm going to wait for someone else to...

Looks like a Huben Dream Universal would work, I assume some sort of adapter would be needed. My compressor is down so Im not degassing any guns until I get the head rebuild kit. I'll leave the adapter investigation to others for now. Or an angled adapter like for Airforce guns.

What to do at 4am? Can 17 12oz jars of apricot-pineapple-coconut jam. Was going to be apricot-pineapple and thought coconut goes with pineapple so i put a tablespoon of coconut extract in the pot too. Turns out to be a stellar idea.

I haven't dug in yet, but how does the pressurized shroud affect that? Can a bottle be added?

Those style guns just don't do it for me. I still like the old british black walnut stock rifles.

Or you buy an Airforce Talon SS .22 for $100. Spend 30 minutes replacing the orings in the Tophat valve. Shoot a bunch of pellets and decide it needs MOAR POWER. So you buy a bunch of upgrades, 19" barrel, heavy spring, heavy hammer, high flow tophat, 120cc plenum, U adapter, 1.1L bottle and...

But this one will obviously make you a better shooter, look how much it costs. That much money it is a "finer thing" https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/precharged-pcp/daystate-red-wolf-grand-prix-black-hp/

$2800 more than a Zelos, Throne 2 or Condor.
