Bought mine directly from the company site:

Thanks for letting me share! Fun gun, worth it if you're in the mood for something different but not expensive.

You know Frank,

Those are really nice results!

It's a GAS so tell us why it is better than a springer or other gas ram or something more expensive.

When you say how LOW we can pay for these results how HIGH would you pay for results 10 years after purchase?

I've an old Theoben Eliminator .25 from 1999 still eliminating pests and targets at all ranges pellet rifles should be shot at.

I am not being cruel here, I am being reasonable.

Kindly,

I'd say, longevity and consistency makes the difference between a $500+ rifle and a $100-ish one. Although a 5-year warranty is pretty nice, lifetime is even better. :)



Anyway, not trying to say it's better than anything else. Just sayin' it's a fine plinker for not a lot of $$$. :) Really quiet too. Probably quietest I've had in break-barrels, other than the Gamo "silent cat". Nice solid build. Made in China tho', and there's always a question-mark in my mind there.



I hear Stoeger makes some fine shotguns, their primary business I think.

After a bit more thought, I gotta say, I'm not one for keeping a gun 10 years. I can't think of anything I have, powder-burners or air, that I've had for more than... sheesh... maybe 5 years tops. I love trying new things, and if it sits on the shelf too long, it's up for sale.



I have a table full of fun, most of them I'd sell in a heart-beat. Maybe I'd keep long-term the Diana 34 and big brother 350mag. I like the Walther Parrus, and it has a fine suppression on it. Yeah, pretty much anything else I have will eventually show up for sale somewhere.

Oh no! I've sold rifles I regret over the years!

I agree with you!

The Theoben stayed with a Beeman Falcon .25 I have to this day.

So these rifles both operate still after 20 years!

I sort of recently purchased a Daystate Regal Huntsman in .177 just to compare with my HW98 .177 and of course the springer, for me, is always right while the PCP has to be kept between PSIs to be consistent for so many shots.

The 98 will shoot forever precisely without recharging.

Why do I like springers!

pdxFrank,

I'm the opposite of you I tend to get attached to things especially guns. I have guns that I've been using now for over 30 years and would never sell them. Each one is a treasure full of great memories.

The important thing is that we have these choices and that we each do what we want.

Wow, I don't think I've owned ANYTHING 30 years. :) (and I'm going on 60)

If I kept everything, I'd have a house full of junk I don't use. My general "rule of life" is; If I haven't used it in a year, and it's not some special family heirloom or such, it's gone. Makes room for things I will use.

IMO, it's a sacrilege to have a gun and not use it.
