Hey guys, so i had a bit of a talk with a friend of mine who is a huge gun nut and by this I mean fire arm enthusiast. He basically stated that PCP airguns are big in Europe primarily due to the fact that fire arms in most parts of Europe are illegal and banned so citizen's can't own them. I did agree with his statement in regards to PCP's in Europe and he even stated that some calibers ever .25 and .30 you can't own there either. I basically told him that there are a lot of advantages of owning PCP rifles, for one they are accurate up to 150yds, Cheap to shoot, powerful enough to take small to large game with bigger calibers, the build quality ( as opposed to some fire arms which are built with cheap plastics ), Legal to shoot in most areas, They are quiet to shoot etc......
He basically stated since i live in the Unites States and have the great 2nd amendment i can pretty much buy whatever gun or rifle I wanted. He basically convinced me to purchase two .22lr rifles ( a Smith and Wesson M&P15 - 22, .22lr AR style ) and a ( CZ Tactical 512 .22WMR AR style as well ) these were incredible rifles and paid 400 - 500 for each of them and shoot dead on at 50 to even 100yds and maybe even more if my shooting range allowed me to do so.
So what i am getting at with this topic guys is why PCP air rifles? have you though of gettin rid of you air rifles for powder burners ( atleast for you guys in the USA ) ? any regrets with your large collection of airguns? Do you guys also have thousands of dollars worth of airguns instead of fire arms...like me ? let me know, thanks guys
