New guy needs advice-PCP rifle
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2022 11:35 am
Hi all,
So as part of my compensation package at work, a small contribution goes monthly into a bank account for my “vacation” fund. I like to use these funds for something enjoyable, and lately I have been hankering for a PCP air rifle. I am partial to FWB as I was given a Model 65 by my good friend and shooting mentor Uncle Jack. I later acquired a couple 300 springer rifles (one scoped/one with sights) for basement shooting duties. I already have SCUBA tanks (older aluminum 80s) from my younger days, not worth much on the used market as that hobby has switched to high-pressure steel tanks, so no worries there.
I would love to hear your advice, your experiences with various models, good and bad. I will not likely be competing, so bleeding edge tech is unnecessary. I will be shopping the pre-owned market; I can’t justify spending what new air guns go for just for casual use!
Thanks in advance.
