What are your top 5 must have PCP accessories for a new PCP??

[L.Leon]

If I'm adding a new PCP to my stable.

1. Scope and rings

2. Moderator (if necessary)

3. Wind indicator on muzzle end, (piece of yarn hanging off a zip tie)

4. Bipod

5. Sling

I should have asked for a 10 accessory list. The above are some of my airgun rigs with their do-dads on display.. Wanted to know what other airgun folks slapped on their new setups right at launch. A bubble level is something I forgot about that I also consider a must have! You guys brought up some good ones… You’re on it!

Scope and rings are not accessories. Those are must have's.

My accessories -

• Compressor
• tanks
• bench rest Bags
• pellets, and more pellets
• Time to shoot (that's a premium right now!)

Bigragu nailed it

In order of importance, to me of course-

1. Scope

2. Ammo

3. Compressor and Tank(fill station is a gimme with the tank)

4. Chronograph

5. Regman tuning regulator.

These would be the five basics I would follow in purchase if I had to do it again, knowing what I know now. 

As always, great post, KoolJoe!

Kool list Bigragu!



Spot on !

Scopes become accessories when you have many to chose from that work perfectly, but opt to get yet another that's better suited to that gun.
Scope rings as well. I'll do the same thing. I have probably close to 12 sets of rings not in use. A number of which would work great. But maybe you want some offset or a slight change in height?


Always liked that stock on your Crown, Joe. I did mine up as well in a more matte hand oiled finish, but when the light hits it, it looks just right.

Chrono is a good one, absolute must have. I'd put compressor and tank there as well if you don't already have one.

I find it interesting that so many people list a bipod as a must have add on for a new rifle. I have two - three bipeds that I rotate among my rifles when I am shooting rom the bench. Each rifle doesn’t get its own bipod and I almost never leave a bipod on the rifle (the exception being a few of my Long Range Powder Burners). Some rifles, my Leshiy 2 for example, almost never have a bipod on them as they are generally shot offhand. When I want to bench it I just use a front rest and maybe a rear bag.

So, for me, it would be:

(1) Scope

(2) Scope Mounts

(3) Extra Magazines

(4) Moderator

(5) Other small “bling” like the magazine carriers you have (as did I) on your Wildcat, or speed loaders for the L2, etc.

Nice! Chris, well I differ a bit from you on the matter of to each airgun their own bipod. I have mostly everything any of my airguns need kept in it’s case. Including ammo, moderator, bipod, patch-worm kit and more. Sometimes I have to grab a gun case and go. Or maybe go after pest / game on the fly. I like to have it where it’s pop the case, attach moderator/bipod/magazine, and shoot in a matter of minutes. At home and on the go. I don’t leave bipods attached, but…. When I need them they are in reach. I will admit though some guns have official high end bipods while others get the more affordable knock offs.



Appreciate the comment

Most everything is overrated.

Two guys buy a redhead and the whole ship turns around.

Another guy buys a blonde and people think Utah AG hung the moon.

Herd mentality(nosetoass) doesnt make "it".

What werks in Texas wont werk in Michigan.

What works for one shooter with experience wont work for the new clown with money thats to lazy to search up his own answers

I award you no points
