I think a few of the rubber seals(1/2 o-rings) would be a good thing to have as spares. I blew mine out a few times during matches, as have a few friends. I was able to collect them and finish the match, but I have seen some blow out beyond the foul line ending their match. They did get re-shoots.

How serious do you want to get, and what kind of venue will you be shooting it at ??? I compete in matches at our local sports club, used the club springers (Beeman R8's) for a while, figured springers weren't for me, went and bought an Anschutz CMP 8002 PCP rifle. I used it for a year or so, and ca...

You should ping the Palo Alto Rod and Gun Club, I'm sure someone has one. Or contact David Gee at Chabot, I shot a few matches there last year, and there was a variety of equipment.

There's a large following of this rifle on Rimfire Central, most have bought older, used models and refurbished them, a few have bought new ones. The rails and sights are different, but they are quite accurate for the money. The new one's trigger only adjust as low as sixteen oz, the older one's go ...
