I got lucky

[Filnez]

I've never been one to buy large numbers; I have an Evanix AR6 Renegade .22 rifle that I bought back in 2009, a Beeman R1 .177 that I have had for many years and the Weihrauch HW100S .22. Those are enough money spent for me!

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.

Wow, that’s fantastic luck! It's always exciting to find a great deal. Could you share more about what you scored? I’d love to hear how it performs for you!

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

It is a great platform to learn PCP basics.
The higher end guns are very adjustable and can be overwhelming to those new to PCP.
Lots of talk about tuning, tuning is a good thing, but can be complex with enough variables involved.
AirForce, stock, just the power wheel.

Now, the upgrades can get you DEEP in the PCP rabbit hole but wow can you power up.
Regulators from Huben Power with Plenums
Longer barrels from AirForce (All AF barrels are Lothar-Walther)
Heavy springs, heavy hammers & High Flow Tophat Valves from Trajectron.

I took a $100 broken TalonSS and $700 or so later I have only the body and power wheel left as original parts.

Coming from a huge collection of center and Rimfire, I got introduced to PCP back in 2021. Oh why? Needless to say no turning back now!

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 don't agree. If he is enjoying his first break barrel Springer he has hardly scratched the surface. The under levers snd side cockers offer a whole new level of accuracy and enjoyment. .03 a shot, 1 hole accuracy at 25 yards, even at 50 yds with good conditions. No need for expensive air supply, leaking rings, bulky tanks. I would offer he should move up now to a TX200 by Air Arms. Easy to tune and maintain, no spring compressor required, great trigger, and outstanding accuracy. I see dozens of pcps for sell everyday. I must believe from unhappy owners. Yes they can be accurate and increase range and power but at what cost......certainly not ease of use. A PCP to me is just a complicated .22 rim fire. Ok I am in my bunker, fire awsy.

I dunno, he said he was looking at PCPs. If he said he was looking for higher end springers, I would have kept my mouth shut.

You are welcome.

My idea of getting lucky has nothing to do with airguns!
