The number 1 feature my dream pcp would have is an ambidextrous stock! I don’t dare dream of a left hand version

Mac 1 USFT you can change from left to right and have a canted grip bought a righty used and 4 minutes later had a lefty .

Is it even possible to make an airgun without o-rings? You would literally have to make parts with zero tolerance and I have a feeling that wouldn't stand up to abuse very well.

Parts going together with press fit, but then parts that need to be move, can't. So there is going to be O-rings...

Factory sling swivels.

100% accurate

Exactly! Here's a picture of a TX200. Notice that the cheekpiece is inline with the bore and that it's a very tall cheekpiece that's intended to work with a fairly large scope. View attachment 413990 For comparison, here's a Western SidewinderView attachment 413991
And a Winchester with iron sightsView attachment 413995

I always wondered about and disliked that about bullpups. I replaced the 2 feet tall rail on my bullboss with a flat maybe quarter inch thick picatinny rail from Amazon. I still shoulder and see though the scope just fine. I think manufacturers over exaggerate these scope rail heights.

I agree with everything except 6. What we really need is one standardized fill probe for all airguns. Foster fittings are far from perfect.

Foster fittings sure beat fill probes, in my opinion.
I cant think of a better method, than a foster fitting to be honest.

I agree, and would take it one step further...
Im not a fan of the gauges protruding out and away.
In my opinion, the gauges should be flush with whereever they are installed.
I could see a gauge getting snapped off, in the event a rifle accidently fell over, and that would be catastrophic.

Take a pistol like the GK1. Anywhere you put a foster fitting on it would either result in sacrificing air volume or having a fitting protruding from the side. A probe is just hands down better.

Bullpup PB's I can't get with, reloads are a PITA.

Bullpup PCP's or bust. I won't own a non bully PCP.

As for the rail heights, doesn't bother me at all. All my ARs have 2.2" unity mounts. I'm not trying to tweak my neck just to aim down site and get on target.

While I do like the USFT, I meant having an ambi wood stock.

as a lefty i totally agree , Ambi wood stocks should be available an all rifles at no extra $$

The reason it's important on an airgun but not an AR is because of the target size and range. For an AR close range is 50 yards or less and target sizes are often torso sized. So a 2.5" high optic doesn't make any difference. Any error caused by it is well within the target. On an airgun close range is under 15 yards and target sizes are often under an inch. At 5 yards you might have to holdover 2 inches to hit a rabbit in the head and at that range you'll probably have to make a quick shot.

I totally agree about bullpup airguns and PBs however. One is great the other meh.

We all change with time, what once was my dream XYZ will end up not so dreamy eventually, this is why I will not have a tattoo.

Secondly dream PCP is singular which I will not subscribe to either.

 

[Nomadic Pirate 66]

My dream PCP just arrived in my hands and I can't think of anything I would change, PCPs by nature will have a few things that are more maintenance then firearms, we just have to live with them and chose the PCP that fits us.

 

[allinssd]

Ah yeah, great points; I forgot to take other people's shooting style into account, I'm a plinker and use my PCPs the same way - I only use targets to zero other than that I'm banging steel.

With todays wireless technologies, why do we even have gauges at all?
A small Bluetooth sensor at the bottle and another after the reg, (and I guess another after the second reg for the FX guys), all reporting to an app on your smart sutpid phone. More accurate, easier to read and never have to reposition to read your pressures.
Add to that a BT chronograph and you have most of the info you need at a glance.

I love the lcs sk-19 but wish they had support for it. Parts and any type of support are non-existent, guessing they have gone out of business or at least should.
