I got into a discussion on one of the other forums and it got me to thinking. I wanted to start a seperate thread to poll others and hear some opinions. So here it is.
I've been through quite a few PCP's, buying and selling over the last few years, most of them "high end". They include 2 Air Arms S 5-10's, 2 Daystate Wolverines, a RAW HM1000x, 2 Fx Royales, 1 FX Bobcat, 2 Cricket Carbines, a BSA R-10 MK2, a Benjamin Marauder .25 gen 2, and a Hatsan AT44. That is a total of 13 PCP's.
You know how many of them shot great out of the box with no issues?
Six of them. Thats right. Six. That means that seven of thirteen guns either just didn't shoot well for some reason or had actual problems out of the box. Can you believe that? Of those six that shot just fine, two of them I bought used. That means I only received 4 new guns out of 11 that shot great out of the box!!! There have been times when I've felt like stabbing myself in the eye out of frustration lol But man, I just love to shoot so much and I got a lot of support from folks on the forums that kept me going. Also, thank goodness my first PCP was such a laser and I knew from the start just how awesome these could be when everything is clicking.
So tell me, am I the unluckiest PCP shooter on the planet or does anyone else have an "I'm the unluckiest guy" story? I'd love to hear them to make me feel better lol.
All the best,
Cliff
