I had to reflect on the vast number of PCPs on the market these days.....BSA, Daystate, Air Arms, AirTechnology (Vulcan), Edgun, Walther, FX, RAW, Theoben (not lately), Impact, Air Force, JKahn, Brocock, Kalibrgun, Crosman, Steyr, Jager, Weihrauch, Evanix, Hatsan, Gamo, and there are more. There is a wide variety of pellets to choose from. There are many scopes now that focus parallax down to 10 or 15 yards. Accuracy is improving to the point that we are looking for 1" groups at 100 yards, and power is higher, on average, than the days of pump up Benjamins, Sheridans and CO2 guns. Perhaps obvious, but these may be the "golden years" right now. I am very concerned with the political landscape of the USA, and its influence on gun and airgun ownership. Undoubtedly, there will be increased scrutiny as the airgun market gets bigger and the power increases. If the EPA had their way, no one would be allowed to shoot any metal, let alone own a gun. The EPA recently pushed to end motorsports, and failed. 25 years ago, the forces against gun ownership were far less than they are today.
With that said, I take nothing for granted. Enjoy what we have.
