I sometimes become so preoccupied with hot PCPs and my customized classic Co2 guns as to neglect a few very nice springers remaining in my arsenal. But when there's not much shooting light remaining and I just want to get in a little recreational shooting I'll grab a piston gun.
Tonight my .22 AA Pro Elite came out to play and was simply amazing; largely because it was one of those rare times when I was uncharacteristically steady from the sitting, unaided field-target position I use when shooting springers (off my forearm). Groups at 35 and 50 yards were very gratifying, then it seemed I couldn't miss makeshift targets out to 70 yards.
I got this Pro Elite from Paul Watts at the last Arkansas airgun show I attended (2-3 years ago). It was a great deal, but then he also threw in a magnum-springer-worthy scope mount, a cheap but functional Bushnell 6-24X scope, a soft rifle case, and the rifle's excellent back-story!
Neck issues prevent me shooting hard-cocking springers much, but I truly savor shooting this awesome Pro Elite. She's not only more accurate than me, but a real thumper! Every time I consider parting with her (to save my neck additional grief), I shoot her and chicken out!
