    N/A Marauder vs HM 1000x First PCP

    Hello to all, I am new to the PCP world and have already acquired a compressor. For the last three months I have been shooting a GAMO swarm viper out to about 50 yards. I had no idea how much I would enjoy this sport! I can shoot PB on my property but being able to sit inside next to my wife...

    New Need Help Choosing Rifle

    I started out with a break barrel and was ok at 30 yards but, then I saw a pcp for the first time and at that point I gave the break barrel to my brother in-law and bought a regulated pcp, better accuracy and longer ranges. Most 25 cal get 24 shots or more with .22...

    Retired members here?

    I bought my first pcp in 2020 after retiring in November 2019. I can shoot in my yard so it was a good additional hobby to pick up.

    Quietest, and most accurate

    As someone who bought a springer for their first "high-end" air rifle, I would definitely recommend going with a PCP instead. There were several better performing options I could have gotten for the same amount of money, even with a pump included in the total.

    N/A Dry fire/ purging first??

    Is it ok to dry fire or as some call it, purge your PCP before starting to shoot for accuracy? Is ok for some guns and not others?

    First Gun, Thoughts?

    ...put out some impressive fpe numbers with more than decent accuracy so really what more do you want. I think you made a good choice for your first pcp, and when you decide to upgrade next month the AvengeX will hold its value pretty well. And make no mistake, few people stop at their first...

    Airgun Technologies The Future of Springers – Are We Still in the Game?

    I am undoubtedly a 48 springer fan. It is my go-to first choice over my PCP's which I consider that I own the best of the best. My 48 has been absolutely trouble free since purchase in 2012. I wonder if my PCP's and all their support equipment will be trouble free in 2038? I know my 48 will...

    Welcome! Also in Florida, Palm Beach area. You've definitely found the right place for all your airgun knowledge. What PCP did you order for your first? Are you planning on hand pumping or compressor?

    N/A Suggestions on first PCP, small game hunting, and having fun.

    Prefer a semi-auto, compact as possible, and quiet with a moderator. The new homes near the farm are roughly 35 yards away, and our property moves away from them. I have been compiling a list of ones to consider. Will shoot for fun as well, but many small pests are showing up. We are settled in...

    N/A Is air pistol cheaper in the long run [edit:] than competitive firearms shooting?

    first off pellets do not know if there going in a rifle or a pistol,pistols are a lot harder to shot.I would get a good Daisey717 747, something like that. Benjamim Marauder or the Crossman 1701 are great PCP that can be hand pumped.Just bring the pump to the range.

    Hatsan Tell you what!

    Was my first PCP too. Sold it last year. Only problem i ever had was the small air tube. It always hit what I was aiming at, dozens of squirrels at 20-40 yards without a miss.

    Air Venturi New Guy

    Just got my first PCP rifle - an Avenge-X Classic in .22. Is there any preventative maintenance type stuff that should be done early on? And is there anything to look out for with this rifle in particular? Thanks!

    Air Venturi Avenge-X .22 Barrel Concerns

    This raises a good question. Should we check and possibly re-crown the barrels of all of our PCP‘s? And all the topic, what is the consensus about whether we should clean all PCP bores before first shooting? And how about honing the bores? As I remember, firearms people (of which I am one)...
