Been a long time since i posted on this Forum. Time to start posting again!
Got my second pcp yesterday in the mail. The Air max varmint (SPA pr900x) in .22. First impression so far is amazement at the quality that i got for $199 with shipping. Rifle is super lite and feels great both in the shoulder and on the cheek. Have not taken it to the back yard yet to get a feel for accuracy. Will do that early next week when weather cools down.
On a side note comparing it to the maximus it seems much lighter and almost has a superior feel in my hands. Their is also the bonus of it being shorter compared to the maximus. It came with 3 magazines and a single shot tray. The bolt pulls all the way to the rear so now i will be able to load some of the longer .22 slugs that i purchased awhile back from mrhollowpoint. Been itching to see how the heavier grain .22 slugs will perform on ground squirrels. (13 lined ground squirrel) Hand pumping it to 3000 psi compared to the maximus's 2000 psi was not bad at all. Took me one or two more breaks then usual. If a disable veteran can hand pump 3000 psi i believe almost anyone can.
On a final note i believe i just got bit by the SPA bug. Will be getting more of their product in the future. I see they have a whole line of new rifles coming out. Cant wait.
