Good choice! And if you don't like it stick to the big sellers there's a reason they are big sellers

As someone who got a break barrel less than a month ago, this is pretty much spot on. Currently researching pcps and will get one in the coming months. Already bought about a million pellets, already want a compressor & tank...and what the Mrs doesn't know...

Reading this laughing out loud as I patiently wait on the FX Bobcat .25 to arrive at my buisness..Can't let the wife know that I just dropped over 1k on more air gun stuff.
My first was a daisy lever action and a break barrel .177 when I was a kid. Now I'm 41 got a Benjamin Bulldog last year. Dry fired it once and quickly realized I can't be shooting that inside or in the city.. man its impressive...then a tricked out P-Rod to plink and practice with then Donny FL gear for everything...and power springs and scopes and rebuild kits...2 hand pumps 1 compressor a fill station, now in the market for a 90-100 cft tank.....
Only one my wife has seen is the bulldog all tricked out in a custom case and she almost fell over. She main throw an aneurysm when the FX dreamline tac shows up..maybe I can hide it in her shoe closet
Thanks for the good laugh and 100% accuracy

This is great post.
"I don't have a wife.
Then, you don't need a compressor, that hand pump should be no problem for you…"
Nobody caught the line above? Funniest one in the bunch, almost.

Funny stuff and mostly true...! I will say that I give noobs a little more leeway. Several years back, I decided I wanted a burning laser. However, I didnt want to pay for a burning laser. So I hopped on a laser forum to learn how to build one. Any 'hobby' forum will have the extreme end of the spectrum on it with people who are very deep in.
I quickly learned on this laser forum that not only did I not know what I wanted to know, but I didnt even know what I didnt know. I tried to search but didnt know the keywords or terminology used in that world. I ended up asking some questions and was met with 'search is your friend'. I finally had someone reach out who was helpful and with that guidance, I was able to build my laser.
Taking that experience back to airgun forums, I can see how that someone who is brand new can come in and just be totally lost and not even know enough to ask the right questions. What does irritate me is when that a noob comes in, gets very helpful information and still disregards it and then ends up with an unsatisfactory airgun experience and therefore deems all airguns as POS toys.
Again, I realize the OP was humor, but this seemed like a fitting place to post.

Took me longer to get here but I'm there. 3 airguns, 2 scopes, 2 red dots, 1 carbon fiber tank and looking at a DonnyFl Tanto. I got the Hatsan Bully & Bullboss both in .25 and also an AEA HP SS .30 caliber.
