Hello friends,
I am the new one in the PCP ...
Currently I have the following setup:
Rifle: Hatsan 125 TH Vortex .22 with the following tuning:
- made front and rear "fossa" of the barrel;
- aggravation of the stock with scrub and dried fine sand;
- polishing of the cylinder;
- changing the cuff - was damaged by the poorly crafted rifle for less than 150 shots!;
Monoblock: SPORTSMATCH DM60 DAMPA 1PC Mount 1" 9-11mm HIGH
Optics: UTG 4X32 1" Hunter Scope, Mil-dot, Airgun Rings, Adj@35 Yds, SCP-U432FD
Tuning was necessary because of the extremely poor quality of the Hatsan rifle! The materials and workmanship of Hatsan are very bad for Europe and I guess it is different to 100% for the West! Tuning was done by a colleague at the Bulgarian Air Force Forum in November, and since then I have read many topics in the forums and I have been watching many PCP videos since winter time. Soon I came across your forum and here I also read a lot of themes.
For the moment I have chosen the following setup:
1. FX Streamline Walnut .25
2. FX No limit Scopemounts
3. FX Four stage turbo pump (?)
4. Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50 APMR FFP IR MIL
A few words about my choice and so on...
First, my budget is quite limited. Everything will buy it at once. Budget has an impact on my entire choices!
Secondly, the rifle will be used for shooting on paper targets of 50-100 meters and plinking (tin cans, logs, soda bottles, or any other homemade or naturally occurring target.)
I will shoot straight and lie down on the ground because there is nowhere else to shoot at a table, and to carry with me as well as a chair will be uncomfortable ....
For hunting ... hunting in Bulgaria, as well as shooting in settlements and around them is totally forbidden! ... But I would try only rabbits and pheasants with good opportunity, pest control and other things I do not like.
@ For the rifle, I largely paused from what you read in your forum and the videos on YouTube. The other gun candidates who dropped into my stats were:
1. Comet Lynx V10 Black .25
2. Evanix Blizzard II.25
3. Benjamin Marauder Synthetic Gen 2 .25
4. Walther Maximathor Varmint .25
After careful screening and analysis, I chose the rifle I mentioned. The caliber is also not accidental.
@ Mounting for optics - here I wanted to be adjustable. I wondered between SPORTSMATCH ATP66 and FX No Limit. Here I also bet on the opinions of colleagues from BG as well as the one read here in the forum - FX No Limit.
@ Regarding optics ... here I found it most difficult because I have neither experience nor knowledge. In the Bulgarian forum and there is a big difference in used optics brands and this also made me very difficult ...
My candidates were the following:
1. DISCOVERY FFP VT-T 6-24x50 SFVF DLT MIL
2. Vector Optics FFP Counterpunch 6-25x56 Low Profile
3. Vector Optics FFP Taurus 4-24x50
4. Nikko Stirling FFP Diamond 6-24x50
5. Athlon ARGOS FFP BTR 6-24X50 APMR IR MIL
My terms were, necessarily, the first focal plane and the MIL! Here I would like to offer a great gratitude to Joe W Rhea! From his videos I learned a lot and helped me when choosing my optics! Of course I wanted to have a review of DISCOVERY optics but alas. From the one I read here I bet on Athlon (Athlon ARGOS FFP BTR 6-24X50 APMR IR MIL) even though the Bulgarian forum recommended me Vector (Vector Optics FFP Taurus 4-24x50). Athlon is much more expensive than Discovery, the other that strongly recommended me in BG but I have to bet on the better for the money I can give ...The bad thing in BG is that it is hard to buy any of the optics I mentioned ... except for China, which I do not like at all ...
@ With regard to a pump (because there is nowhere to load a bottle) I've stopped between FX4 and MK4. I wrote about the pumps here in the forum but I still have no reasoned help ...
If anyone has any advice to me about my setup, please share it.
I apologize for the long post and my English language!
Thanks in advance!
