    PCP Rifle Various Rifles to Part With…

    So I’ve figured out I like springers more than PCP (I’m weird I guess), so thinning out the PCP herd. These are the ones I’m letting go, all near new with very little use (less than 5 shooting sessions each). They are all .22: - Benjamin Bulldog M357 Huma regulated with custom moderator, $400...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I wish we had airgun shows like that in my AO (south TX).

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Didn’t shoot today but did this weekend. Couldn’t believe how accurate (and fun to shoot!) my Diana 54 is. First shot at the new biathlon target I got was bull at 30 yards. Been shooting my springers much more than PCPs lately.

    Centerfire v. Air…

    Took my Diana 54 out yesterday for plinking, and after ensuring zero I took my first shot at a new 1/2” biathlon target from shootingtargets7. I’m trying to practice for field target so when I get enough stones to show up in Boerne for a match, I won’t be laughed off the firing line. The...

    Nice. How did you go about polishing the die?

    Pellet sizing with a T.R. Robb sizer…

    This might be a thread showing off my n00bness, but so be it. Ordered these from Mr. Robb in jolly ol’ England and finally got around to using it since I had time today. I noticed that my Diana 54 liked pellets at 5.48mm head size because bigger than that made for difficult seating in the...

    PCP then springer?

    Life is too short to compromise, so I didn’t waste time and just got well-reviewed springers like the Diana 54 and the Weihrauch HW97. And I’m not disappointed.

    Other Hand Made 1911 PCP Pistol (Tequila GUN) Video Review

    This, and some good oil on the lever’s action. Fantastic one-off pistol that is second to none in quality. Very happy with mine, and is the only 45ACP-pattern PCP pistol out there to my knowledge.

    PCP then springer?

    As a new guy myself, PCPs definitely have a much higher cost of entry with all the necessary equipment. But they are easier to shoot accurately and have multiple shot capability. Springers OTOH don’t require anything else except pellets and glass if irons aren’t present. But they do require...

    How many people have more than one PCP?

    Just got into this hobby like 7 months ago and already have 9 air rifles and 2 pistols; all in .22. Six are PCPs, 2 are springers and one is full auto (older SMG-22). Pistols are TequilaGun and an HW45. Working on thinning the PCP herd since I’m digging springers more given the discipline...

    Balistas?

    Another plug for Ballistas. Ordered an HW97 last Tuesday evening, and would’ve arrived at my house on Friday were it not for a WX delay. Got it today instead. Packed really well and prices were the best I found. Great outfit that ships fast!! Packaging shown:

    PCP then springer?

    Thanks! I’m not exactly a spring chicken myself either, BTW. I know folks have talked about learning curves to shoot springers and “recoil” (dude, there is no recoil on these!), but I’m not sure what those look or feel like. I just zeroed the Hammers glass on it, adjusted the barrel weight...

    PCP then springer?

    You weren’t kidding based on the replies here. Glad to see I’m not the only one thinking that I’m likely happier with springers for all the noted reasons. I’m not getting out of pcp (especially since I now have all the ancillary equipment needed), but I will thin the pcp ranks more. Look for...

    PCP then springer?

    When I discovered adult air guns over the last six months and how I could shoot in my backyard, I went all-in on PCPs for target and varmint hunting (all .22s). Once my PCP collection grew I got curious about springers. I didn’t consider them before because I thought they would be underpowered...
