if I may interject an observation about springers and pcps is this

[Airgun Al]

I consider those notos like the crosman 2240 or the ruger 10/22. THE MOST EXPENSIVE budget gun you'll ever buy. They're great guns, no argument there. The problem is the aftermarket is too enticing. I might get one if I know i can set it up for 177 with an fx liner and a bottle.... Not that they're better but because it's the devil I know right now.

No need to modify!
I have a bone stock , $269 Notos and love it!

What is great 6gun is that you do not have to; you can be happy with what you have. A good springer is going up in price all the time. Maybe you can shoot an English or German springer and see if it is worth the trouble. Many people are quite happy just shooting PCPs. It is all about fun and enjoyment.

The way I see it is I have to have both PCP and springers. My next will be a springer or a SSP pistol.

The Zelos has much more power than a springer...
A better comparison would be the $269 Notos pcp!

My pcp shoots .30 cal, and my springers shoot mostly .20 cal at few hundred fps less than the PCP.

Good move!
I scoped my HW75 SSP and never put the scope back on my 22 Ruger pistol. My Best shoot was .22 cal plastic BBs of off pins at 25 yards.

There is one in the classifieds now, but my wife thinks I have to have a job to buy another gun.

I told her I am retired now. Nothin but stink eye.
