My first post so if I’m in the wrong place I apologize.
I’m a lifelong powder burner but needed something quite for an urban pest problem. I got lucky . Went online, first thing that I find is Airguns of Arizona and then I see Weihrauch 50S Hunter, with scope and moderator so I ordered it in .22 cal. It works perfectly for my pest problem. I then went online, did some research and found out I couldn’t have made a better choice of what to get and where to get it. AoA was very helpful, suggested a tune and promptly shipped it. Super accurate,quiet , cheap to shoot and I can shoot in my back yard. I am hooked. I’m now looking at PCP.

Welcome to the party. I offer you both my congratulations and my prayers(as you are at the front end of your new addiction). I predict that by this time next year you will have a new safe filled with airguns and a huge selection of various airgun related products. I did business with Pyramid Air today and was very pleased with the associate(Ronda) who took my order-she was sooo polite, thorough, and entertaining to converse with. I'm looking forward to the delivery of a new FX King. I've not ever heard a discouraging word about Weihrauch. What caliber is yours and what kind of stock did it come with?

If you like to shoot and you're hooked on your springer, a PCP is the logical next step in your disease. Welcome and let us know what you decide to get!

I have acquired quite a few springers, and only early this year got my first SSP rifle after having 3 pistols. I am resisting the PCP route, because of all the accessory equipment needed, the expense and finally a place to put more guns and a compressor.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!

Springers are great, but PCP's are a game changer. You can get an accurate entry level at a decent price , even cheaper if you're willing to hand pump. I got my feet wet by going the entry level PCP and quickly had a want for more and to try other guns, mostly due to the accuracy of the entry level guns, not a fault to them at all. I did start with a cheapo $170 compressor.

You definitely came to the right place for knowledge and insight. AGN has helped me immensely in my journey

If you want to keep it simple, reliable, accurate and upgradeable the venerable AirForce platform is great. Total of 4 orings. Barrel changes between .177, .22 and .25 are 5-10 minutes. Upgrade options galore.
12", 18", 24" barrels, regulators, plenums and bottles.

AirForce outlet store has some pretty good deals too. Great warranty and great support.

Keeping with the Weihrauch brand, the HW100 pcp is a superb rifle that needs no tinkering, they are excellent as they come. Walnut stock, 14 shot rotary magazines, solid steel barrels mounted to a heavy thick receiver for zero flexing, a very quiet moderator and accurate too. They aren't inexpensive but neither are other top name rifles.

I agree with Ratzy on this, plus, as he said, the customer support is top notch.

The HW 100 is my 1st choice however AoA doesn’t have the one I want so I have it on pre-order. I’m looking at Daystate Huntsman Revere only because they have that one in stock. So do I wait and get the one I want or go for immediate gratification. In the meantime I’m going to get a tank and get it filled so I’m ready.

That's really good to know, I've had my eye on an airforce for a while now.
