Help Regal xl, streamline, or wildcat purchase
- Thread starter Dave
- Start date
Dave, I have a pretty nice collection of PCP's ... my "go to" guns are the Wildcat .25 and AA S410 .22 (same as the S510, w/side lever).
I have Huggert Belicia that I can swap between the two ... however, the Wildcat in .25 is pretty darn quiet and the S410 is moderately backyard friendly. The Huggert does a nice job.
All 3 of your picks are winners! Take a look at the classifieds, there's a sweet deal on a Regal! I'm tempted to buy it....

Sounds like it comes down to the old "bullpup vs traditional" question. All depends on how you are going to use your gun.I hunt with mine and shoot from vehicles quite often. For my use, bullpups are the only way to go and I have sold my "long guns". I think the traditional guns are more attractive but the "convenience" of bullpup won me over.

My suggestion is a bit different.
I got my 1st PCP back in 2014 (AA s510) and used a Hill pump with it. I was in my mid 40s then and was in very good shape. Pumping really wasn't a problem, BUT... I did find it tedious and don't really know how to explain it, but it threw off my rhythm of shooting that I enjoyed with my springers. The s510 gave me roughly 30 shots between fills and topping it off was roughly 100 pumps. I eventually sold the s510 and pump and got back into motorcycles for awhile.
Fast forward a couple of years and the bike is gone and replaced with a Royale 400 and Joe B. tank.
I can't tell you how much more enjoyment I get shooting now that I don't have to pump! (And having a shot count around 100 doesn't hurt either!)
Assuming you can find someplace to fill a tank, I would strongly suggest contacting Joe B. to see what gun/tank combo he could offer that's in your price range. I wouldn't hesitate to do a tank & Marauder/HDD combo. Shoot the heck out of it with the assumption that you'll be able to sell it an then upgrade to a rifle that's a step up from it in a year or so!

I can vouch for the Wildcat.
Looking at your list, if it contains the Streamline, you should also consider the HW110.
I have an HW100tk in 177 and love it, even more accurate than my WC., But the 110 is lighter, and more efficient with air, so likely quieter too, especially in 22..

Thanks again to everyone here for the wealth of experience and knowledge in helping me make an informed decision for my airgun purchase. I don't know how many reviews, post and videos I have watched In the last couple of weeks, but I would guess I have probably read or watched them all. I did go back and forth between the streamline and wildcat many times, but finally made my choice and purchase this evening.
And the winner is the Fx streamline laminate .25 cal.
Thanks to advice from one member I picked up the donnyfl summo in .25 allowing use with both .25 and .22 if needed. I have noticed alot more groundhogs around lately and the .25 seemed a better fit for this task, and with the power adjustability it will also provide a lower power pesting setting while saving air for those closer shots.
I am in my 30's and have pumped .25 and
22 mrod as well as the .30 bobcat, so this shouldn't be that hateful.
I am not that worried about pumping this gun for now, but I have plans to save to for a compressor once I purchase a scope for this rifle since the nearest fill station is 1hr away. For now it will borrow the Hawke scope from my mrod as I consider what I want to put on it. I was thinking the Aztec emerald(over a month backordered), or maybe the mtc viper pro 3-18.
She will be here sometime next week, after they do their testing and checks.
Thanks,
Dave
