Hello everyone,
I'm a longtime lurker and reader.
Greatly appreciate all the content that this community has built over the years.
I know similar topics has been debated, but just need a final push.
I'm not new to air rifles, but I have never owned a PCP and I'm looking to change that fact.
Purpose of the pcp will be small game hunting and part time backyard target practice.
Here is my current dilemma, I can acquire a .25 Synrod around $438.39 from the Crosman website using the discount code, and I could start shooting as it is and then down the road buy a regulator and other enhancements, such as but not limited to: a super hammer kit, spring kit, LW barrel, etc,
We could be talking about another $500.
My other option would be to buy a .25 Dreamline (as of right now not yet widely available in .25) for around $1,100, this will get me a more accurate and refined platform from the get-go and more possibilities in the future (thinking again it could get me in deep trouble with the Administration Committeemen).
I'm aware that they are totally different products targeted to different audiences within the Air Gun community, but they are the ones that are catching my attention the most.
I also know of other brands, such as Daystate, Diana, BSA etc, but in that mid range I'm liking the Dreamline for the level of customization and tuning.
Please note that I'm completely aware of the added cost of a tank and/or a compressor and possible other accessories such as a better scope.
Thank you for your time.
