I eventually realised that I was missing my springer shooting and as I only have 25 yards in my garden I sold it and my hw110 also and bought a hw77 ceracoted Nick Gibney tuned gun and am awaiting the arrival of that. I am keeping one pcp my hw44 carbine. Its so much fun. I always say when I do this "No more PCP's for me"

Marauders .177 and .22
They needed help so off to Greg Davis for a blueprint and tune.
( he was a major tuner /influence on the early Maruaders )
It was costly $$. They returned shooters. I Still have them. I Shoot the .177 several times a week amoung others.
They are 13 years old.
(.177)on guard.

My first was the Benjamin Cayden. a bit over $400, with a scope and a hand pump.... learned on that gun and a year later bought a tank to refill it.
Still enjoy the Cayden, it's a good , solid, excellent first choice for anyone wanting to get into the PCP world without dropping FX MK3 dollars.

My first PCP was the Hatsan Blitz, brought 1000 rounds with me to the range... after what felt like 15 minutes I was out of ammo

My first was the gauntlet. It was the combo that came with a scope and rings for about 500 bucks. Got it for me and the kids to shoot in the backyard. I loved it but it was too heavy for them.

My first rifle was a Hatsan Bulboss .22 and I still love it. It took some work to fix it as it had some faults from the factory but it taught me a lot about PCPs and it's a nice reliable gun.

Started out with a pre-enjoyed .22 Marauder and hand pump for my first pcp. That rifle (I thought) was pretty accurate at 1.5" groups at my 45yd backyard range, and quiet. And then of course... I continued to read more and more about other rifles being more and more accurate. And of course the hand pumping got old also. Both Mrod and pump went down the road.
Bought a Condor SS .22 and found what accuracy can really be like at some longer distances.... It amazed me, AND I found a seller with a 45 minute Scott scba tank with years left on it at a decent price.
Then of course... I wanted / needed a repeater rifle.... and 'cause I experienced a bolt action Mrod, I had to have a side lever... bought an FX Classic and I don't see ever going back from a side lever!
I've purchased three other pcps in the recent years... a Weihrauch 110 ST .177, a Cayden .22...(and totally agree with Harv24... a good solid rifle) and most recently a Daystate Revere .177... which has become my "go to" small backyard pest' nightmare!

I started with a MAC1 USFT for myself and a Daystate Red Wolf for my wife. We jumped into the world of FT with both feet. No regrets.
