    Other First PCP help

    Anything that is around 250cc or less and 3600 psi or less isn't too bad to keep topped off with a hand pump. I've done much bigger tanked guns at 4500 psi and it's definitely possible, but I worry about the longevity of the pump under those conditions. You won't be target shooting all day...

    Careful when filling

    I was able to find out that AEA cylinders are 7075 aluminum alloy. They are pretty thick walled, but not as thick as that large exploded tank. And they are rated for 5000 psi fills. It also seems like they are using a similar kind of tank on their new 7500 psi guns coming out (not carbon fiber...

    Other First PCP help

    Do you want something essentially plug & play or do you want something you can tinker with, adjust power, and have better luck experimenting with different pellets and also slugs? From your original post it sounds like you might really enjoy something like the Kral NP-03 I have in .25 caliber...

    Careful when filling

    I thought a lot of airguns had aluminum tanks with a 4500 psi fill. Am I mistaken? Why is that acceptable for a gun but not for an external tank?

    AEA AEA HP SS .25 Blowback Action in 960 FPS Slow Motion

    AEA HP SS is surprisingly accurate, even with the short barrels. Probably the one factor that makes it less accurate is the stiff and heavy trigger.

    I'm sure it's very nice but I prefer bolt or lever action on a long gun

    Only get to shoot ONE airgun today

    Way too windy here today to bother shooting. So I'll plink in the basement with the Crossman Vigilante CO2 .177 pistol if I have to shoot something.

    Yeah but if I do that I might as well pick up the King Kong for a few hundred more ;) Decisions, decisions. First I gotta put a few guns up for sale here.

    Between these two scopes which would you pick? For under $200 is there a better scope?

    I have that 3-9 Hawke Vantage but it's got a simple crosshair no dots or windage/elevation marks. First scope I got when I got into PCPs and bought a Hatsan Hydra. I've used it on a few guns but it's back on the Hydra now. I like it for this gun because it's light like the Hydra is, 9x zoom is...

    Tips for buying used/secondhand? (MN, USA)

    Patience and use the search engine. Personally I don't low ball people because I sell here too, and I always try and give the lowest price that I'm actually willing to sell it for. What kind of gun are you looking for? I have a few I'm considering letting go of.

    Appreciate the feedback. I do really like the wood stock on the original Avenger. Might look for one of those and save some money. I have a couple 30 cal slug slingers already. It would be fun to have something that I can shoot smaller, closer targets with... pennies and bottle caps etc... I...

    Haha yeah I know I have some 30 cals already. The good part about that is I'm stocked up on all kinds of ammo in .30 already. For some reason I get bored shooting airguns that don't have a lot of oomph. I usually shoot reactive metal targets for fun so it's nice to see and hear a solid whack...
