I finally got to shoot my first PCP today! Barra 250z in .25. I got it zeroed in at 50 yards and let my sons have some fun. The Donny FL Yokozuna is sweet, totally tames the crack of the .25. The DNT Zulus 5-20 V2 is awesome! I was able to legitimately zero in the rifle in 3 shots. The daytime performance was good and I am very impressed with the visibility on the night vision settings. It is a blast other than pumping it up with a hand pump, what a workout!!!! Getting it up to 3300 psi had me sweating! I feel like a compressor might be on the horizon if I do this a lot.

To Mandrada01 . Belated welcome to AGN , and the 250Z is looking awesome. Your son's are lucky to have you as they now can get into this sport for life. If your thinking of a compressor don't get a little metal box one. The Tuxing twin is rated for filling up scuba tanks , and if you get it at Walmart then you can buy a Allstate protection plan. Now imagine going from hand pump to turning a valve , and filling that rifle in a minute. If you have watched airgun videos the people use the tanks a lot. You can eventually get a tank, and it will change the sweat into a smile.
If you find a used one , and save lot on it.
Don't worry if it's out dated I use a scba fireman's tank , and it was out dated years ago , but works fine. Then I bought the valve on the web. It's so much more accurate than a Powder Burner ( PB ) , and you can shoot right in back yard. Ammo is is cheaper , and no range fees. I save any blank junk mail for targets , but the splatter burst are great , and easy to see a hit. OV.

Thank you, I’m glad to have found this forum. I’ve contemplated just buying a Scuba bottle or SCBA tank and filling it at work (I have access to a SCBA filler). Seems like it would be the cheaper option! I’m lucky enough to live on 50 acres and have access to a 100 yard range, so there will be much fun to be had. I am impressed so far with the accuracy of my Barra, despite it being a very entry level rifle. I need to install my slug kit, set up my chrono and really get it dialed in!

Out at the range with my TX200 and resently fitted Aztec Emerald 5.5x25-50. What a difference a good scope makes.

I did the rough sight in from 10-55 yards . Then shot some field target .

The side wheel is a 3D printed part and it cracked and my side wheel came loose so I called it a day.

It’s an easy fix. With JB weld and a metal band.
