I have a Beeman R10 that I purchased as a teen in 1986. A member here on our forum just recently gave it an upgrade and brought it back to life. It had a broken spring and had not been shot in a long while. It is in great shape now and a lot of fun to shoot.

Definitely get a pcp if it is in your budget for a rifle and an air supply. They are a ton of fun and are easier to shoot accurately than a springer. I like having both springers and pcp since they are so different.
