Favorite .22 PCP?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
my AA 410 EXTRA "non regulated " i know ... how could you live with a gun that charges at 2750 psi and starts at 900 fps and climbs to 950 and back down to 900 for 30 shots "3 ten shot mags" 16gr pellet, . bought over 20 years ago it was a easy gun to fill when you only had a 3000 psi used scuba tank , and a dive shop that would do you a favor and give you a few extra hundred psi of pressure ! you could fill a pickup bed with ground squirrels that this gun took ! it has never leaked , was always ready by the door to go , and at the time before you could purchase a silencer " it was the only air gun i could economically shoot that was quiet and always accurate ! it still has air in it and shoots !

I was holding off on reading this thread, thinking no one would, like me, also choose an Air Arms rifle as a favorite! I shoot my regulated S5xxs more often, but my unregulated 25 year old .22 S410 is still pretty special.😃

That's a question that cannot have an answer. I have and have had several PCPs in .22 caliber. Each one had or has it's certain charm and appeal. I doubt that I could really pick one as my favorite.

Currently have:
Crown MKII 380 bbl. Nice conventional design and ready to shoot without any adjustment
FX Wilcat MKIII Compact. Small and easy to handle in tight situations
RAW HM1000x. Super accurate for BR shooting
FX Impact MKII 700mm=versatile, accurate, alternate BR gun.

Had:
RAW HM1000
RAW HM1000x LRT Benchmark-I was a dummy and sold it.
Daystate Regal XL -Didn't like the bolt action and replaced it with a Revere in .177
FX Dreamline Classis-ok but uninspiring
FX Crown MKII Saber Tactical-Good gun but for BR, I'm using others
Benjamin Marauder Gen 1-First PCP, good gun but had to move on
Cricket II Long-Good gun, maybe should have kept it.
