I notice when you go to your permissions you always seem to use PCPs. Are the springers not sufficient? Crow
Does a springer cut it?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Actually, when I go to my permission to shoot inside the barns, I take my tx200 due to the lower power levels. My pcp’s are mostly used for outside pesting, but I do occasionally bring my cheap pp750 for indoor work also.

a good springer is fine for about 40 'feet' lol ... a decent underlever might be some middle ground, although i never went there and the same money will get a real permissable pcp .. when its serious, quit wasting time on that glorified red rider spring gun ...

What are you shooting? I LOVE my springers. I now routinely hit chipmunks out at 50 yards. I use to limit myself to under 40 yards, now I go to around 50. The biggest limit has always proven to be me.

Again. Agree to disagree. I challenge you to a 50 yard shoot out. You choose your gun, I'll choose mine.

Up until about 3 years ago all I shot was my m48 springer. It will also be the last rifle I'll ever sell. Pcps are limited by the need for a hp air source springers are not. I do have 3 pcps though one is a paper weight right now.

Ninety shots ... Shot today with .20 HW98 at 25 yards (75 feet). Let's see you do as well with one or your "real permissible" PCPs. Out doors, three different pellets same zero. We will compare your aggregate groups to mine afterwards. ... Talk is cheap. Should be a cake walk for you with a PCP. Feel free to charge it more than once... heh
Here is the target so you can check my work yourself. These are TEN shot groups.

I just noticed that most the videos even nite vision, they used PCP’s. I have no problem taking tree rats or grackles with my springers. Maybe the PCPs are a little more dramatic on film. Crow
As far as quiet the LGU, wins in my Arsenal.

Tell me about that fifty dollar springer you've been shooting. My spring rifles are probably as accurate as YOUR PCPs ... Note I did not say as accurate as someone else's PCPs. There is a target floating around here called the "Ten Dimes Challenge" It should be really easy for you to shoot that thing with your PCP rifle since it is designed to be shot with a springer... Have a try and post it here.

A couple weeks ago offhand at 35 yards. I was aiming at the neck.
I had my field target rifle right there. It’s a Steyr PCP.
There wasn’t even a moments thought, I grabbed the FWB sport and took him down.
Why do you knot heads trash Springers?
I like Glen Roland’s comment above and would challenge you likewise.
springers take a modicum of Skill to master.

Most that bad mouth a springer, are those that have never been able to master the skill level to shoot a springer well. So it becomes easier to bad mouth the gun rather than show the lack of shooting skills

Airshot nailed it.
Shooting a springer well takes a skill set unknown to most airriflemen. I used to have that skill but lost it when I got into PCP's. I do remember this though. If you and your PCP get in a match against a skilled springer shooter within average airgun distances....better leave your wallet at home.
