N/A New pcp air rifle.

[RMCIV]

What would be a good first premium pcp? I've been looking at the RTI Mora, what others should I consider?

 

[RMCIV]

The mora is a nice rifle, FX panthera/dynamic, Skout, Daystate. There are tons for benchrest as well. I have a nice USA made Skout Epoch in the classifieds, there are a couple Raw hm1000 in the classies also US made. Daystate delta wolf is in the classifieds, and also karma red panda. Any of those will do what you want.

I think I saw your add it is one of the rifles on my list...I will contact you as soon as the app let's me and if it's still there I'll get more info thanks!

A .30 caliber is going to require A LOT of air. How are you going to fill it? You are going to need a tank and a compressor. Will have to budget accordingly.



I agree completely. Life is too short to have only one PCP. I settled on five. And a couple of pistols but they don't count. Really, it's fine. Well I might need one or two more now that I think about it.

Pistols don’t count!!!

Remember that. It got me out of trouble the first time I said that to my wife.
Problem was that I was dumb enough to use it a second time…

The mora .25 600mm was my first "premium pcp" (over $2k). I bought it 2 months ago. I did like it a lot at first, but I have a slow leak that developed, i found the gun empty. After refilling it you could hear it leaking down the barrel. Cocked it and dri fired it, that did slow the leak down, but its still leaking. Very slow like 10 bar a day. Im definitely disappointed, I expected better for that price point. That being said the mora has been good until the leak.

That's a super bummer...way to much money to be having leaks so early on. How is their customer service?

A tank is not "needed", a compressor yes.

I have a few gx pumps i use my gx cs4i with the gx filter.

That’s a tough one rifle do all task. It’s just my opinion but I will never be convinced 30 cal in an airgun is a great choice for deer. 357 min and then you move out of a backyard plinker unless ammo prices aren’t a factor. I think if the focus is medium to larger size game something like the 357 mora or western sidewinder would be sweet.

I have been eyeballing the western for sure.

Yea definitely a bummer, a huge inconvenience. I haven't reached out to rti directly, just the dealer. He said its possibly the valve i think. I need to call back again and see how it will be handled.

here's the Texas regulations for PCP Air guns:

In Texas, pre-charged pneumatic air guns are legal for hunting deer, but they must meet specific requirements. These guns must fire a projectile of at least .30 caliber with a minimum weight of 150 grains and a muzzle velocity of at least 800 feet per second, or any combination of bullet weight and muzzle velocity that produces at least 215 foot-pounds of energy. Additionally, hunters using air guns must comply with all other hunting regulations, including licensing and hunter education requirements.

I think you might be better off getting 2 guns, a cheap Plinker (.22 Notos) for the small stuff and a Big bore (.35 - .50) for the big stuff.
I'm in Texas also, but I have lots of PCP's from .22 to .50, if I hunt deer I'll use my .457 Texan or the .510 Hammer, My .357 shin sung Fire is not enough power to meet Texas regulations.

Recommended airguns meeting Texas regulations

• AirForce Texan: Available in various calibers, including .30, .357, .45, and .50, all of which exceed the minimum requirements. Reviews suggest it's powerful and accurate enough for deer hunting.

I will be shooting target and hunting..from mice to white tail deer and hog and it needs to do all I can spend 5k but not 20k I'm thinking a 30 cal. I could be wrong but think fpe for deer in my state is 250.

So you you want a gun that is good for mice (4 FPE) to deer/hog (250 FPE).
There is no single gun that is capable of that... You need to consider two guns. Get a .22 cal that can be easily adjusted and a .357 and up in caliber if you are wanting into the 250+ range in FPE.
