If I was to buy a used high end airgun which ones have replaceable barrels , so if the used gun needs to be fixed.

I just got a Skout Epoch Compact (.30). Easy to change barrels. Takes about 30 seconds to remove.

I was that guy and bought an AGT Uragan 3, my requirements were 177 and will shoot pellets and slugs accurately. That being said, I’m already saving for the next high end rifle.

I never like buying used anything. But I learned from getting some used race engines cheap. NEVER try to start a used race engine. You have to take them completely apart and check everything or forget it. With a used airguns I feel the same way. I need to take it completely apart. And if the gun is an expensive top end product parts can be obtained with out difficulty and there are some aftermarket goodies.
So if I buy used it would be a used 2000 dollar gun.

This post question is for the guys that own expensive airguns and anyone that just knows. If a man that is not rich was to have saved his money till he had $2000 , and was asking for advice , and even it's twice that much what air rifle would he buy , and oh yeah just for target shooting I can't kill animals anymore it's just not in my heart. Not competition either just a really nice well made dependable air rifle. What is the rifle you would have bought the first time if you knew.
Thanks for your advice.

If weight matters: Crosman Challenger in .177. aprox $1100 fully prepped.
next up a TM 1000 tube version or HMX 1000 in .177 bottle version (high shot count)
Daystate Revere,,,, .177 a solid gun with a 5 year warranty that wont break the bank!

a $2K thomas is like a unicorn, impossible to find, even used they sell at $3700.00 if cared for.

what gun you buy depends very much on your philosophy OF air gun shooting . Personally i do not think any gun over 12 FPE (TO ME )is not an Air Gun any longer . I only shoot bench rest now that i am older , 50 yards is long range for an air gun . YMMV ! As far as $$$ are concerned ? their is no limit on happiness , what ever it takes .

Any of the PCPs in the BRK lineup would maybe excepting the Atomic (16-17 fpe) The Snipers, Commander, Pathfinder and the Ghost. I’ve owned five different models. Still own three. Atomics x2, Pathfinder and Ghost Carbine, all of them are simply solid PCPs that perform on demand…

I've read that the RTI Prophet barrel is easily replaceable. But really just about any air rifle is replaceable. It is the pellet probe which may be easier or harder to replace. I have two barrels for my P35-25, for instance. I bought the second from Krale and waited most of a year to get it (due to SPA, I believe, not Krale). I thought the original was not very accurate. But I retuned the gun for a new bigger plenum while waiting and the original barrel is quite accurate, about equal to the replacement. But they like different pellets. I'm pretty sure the pellet probe can also be changed so you could change calibers but I've never attempted it. The guns are cheap enough I just bought one of each (and actually have multiples of the 22 and 25 now). All my airguns mount the barrel with a grub screw or two so changing them is pretty simple (except for the Caiman, there is something else going on with it I haven't figured out yet).
