My First Rifle, Predator Control

[JimD]

I like the cocking lever on the right, I am right handed. But I don't like magazines in my face (not a problem on any SPA gun I know of) and worry the cocking lever could be similar at least for me.

The .25 Blems are out of stock now.
One or two .25 over in classifieds and on GunBroker. But they seem to be wanting top used price.

I was really surprised by this pricing. Lots that I looked at for the small savings I'd think better to buy new. I'm really new to it all, just kinda figured these things really hold value?

For a small savings i would buy new specially your new to this . Also if your new you do not know what used is supposed to be when new .

I agree, learn the guns and the tools first. Then once you are comfortable expand your base into other areas.

The beauty of the Airforce platform is simplicity. Single shot, ambidextrous, 4 orings, lots of upgrade options. I was dismissive of AirForce when I moved into PCP. But I acquired one very cheap and now I own 3.

But you will always be in deficit after buying a gun. The only ones that appreciate in value are vintage rarity guns.

I was wrong, the 2nd page loaded wrong and I had to scroll up not down. Plenty of Blems

Hit the classifieds and buy from a guy with plenty of good feedback. Alot easier to stay in budget that way.

I’ve had excellent experiences with both rifles I have bought in the AIrgun Nation classifieds.

Thank You. That looks like a good price. It does still have the exclusively right side lever like nearly all others. I shoot from my left shoulder. It's really not a deal breaker. As most lefties can attest, it's just a fact of life.
I'll definitely take a closer look at that though. Thx again

That P15 is A LOT of gun for the money. Of course so is the Avenger. I don’t think I saw what kind of predators you’re keeping away from the chickens. Raccoon? .25 is perfect. Coyote? Mmmmmmmaybe a .30?

Thank You. Mostly raccoons yes. The other is these damn groundhogs (tough creatures), they dug under and destroyed the slab for my shed. They could easily ruin all the work into this coop.
The P15 does look like a good deal. I couldn't find any with a synthetic stock only wood? Dealers for it seemed limited?
Much Appreciated

.25 sounds perfect for your applications. Good hunting!

My 0.25 Condor shot 33.95 grain JSB's at 1100 fps for 91 fpe and this was with the power wheel at the lowest setting. I changed the top hat to a 0.166 oriface in order to reduce the power a bit. With the 0.166 top hat the 33.95 grain JSB's are shooting at 930 fps with the power wheel on "6" (max wheel setting is 13).
