Should i wait for new airguns or buy now

Most airgun companies release new guns every year. So there will always be the next big thing. Except for Crosman/Benjamin, they just recycle the mrod every year.

Exactly...... I might add you will also wait for the next best thing to be available. 

If it’s an impact you want, get it now. You will be able to change calibers, barrels, etc as they become available for a lot less than a new gun. If it’s a semi-auto you want, I suppose waiting is not a bad idea. If it’s a Daystate, they refresh every 3, and upgrade every 6 I believe, so just keep an eye in release dates and decide. 

getting the latest and greatest out may not be a good idea. History shows a small number of new guns released will develop problems. Let someone else see how deep the water is. Particularly if you are new to airguns. 
The more complex and more "moving" parts only means more issues develop too. 
Consider something that has been out for awhile. something if you need some help here or elsewhere you can get it. 
just my 2 cents

No matter what you decide.... as soon as you buy something (usually no later than a week or 2) you will see the next GREAT gun and will torture yourself over it till you get it then the cycle repeats till you run out of money either by spending it on guns or your wife takes it in the divorce (caused by the MANY airgun purchases) settlement!

Dave Cole took the words out of my mouth . No need to list examples , but Airguns are kinda known for hitting the market and later trying to get the bugs worked out . It has happened to me , and most everyone who's been in the sport a while .
Its a sickening feeling to take a new gun out of the box only to discover an obvious flaw and see where it has already been halfway repaired at the factory and was boxed up and shipped anyway . 
Let someone else be the test monkey . For me personally , I'll never buy a new to the market model again. Once bitten, twice shy

"Your wife takes it in the divorce settlement"... I love it!! LOL Thurmond, you hit the nail on the head!!

Really though, at some point one has to come to grips with the strong habit of desire. IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE SATISFIED. Just get something that fits what you want to do with it and enjoy. The Impact would be a great gun. 

I asked myself the same question once. Ok ok a few times! Do I want to sit on the bleachers all day or get out there and shoot!?! The Wildcat showed up a week later  

When there is any doubt on which airgun, the true answer is to buy both. Done that 46 times. Regards, tom

Instead of buying or waiting for the latest & greatest, another approach would be to buy something tried and tested that's been in production for years. As mentioned above, the Benjamin Mrod is one possibility - its been used to win National FT championships. Another, my personal favorite, is the Daystate Huntsman Regal. Both are great out of the box, but can be improved even further with easy to install items (e.g. a regulator; moderator, etc). They are also excellent value for $.

Do what I do , buy now & when new stuff comes out, buy some more. You can always sell it & quality PCP rifles hold their value. The little you lose is less than rent.
