Have decided to visit the dark side, as a friend is a fire fighter, and I can get a tank and fill for a "discount". Looking for any of the guns listed above. Prefer 22, but 177 or 25 will be considered. Interested in scopes or not, accessories or not. let me know what kind of FPE and groups you are getting. Shipping would be to 78626.

Hey Jason,
My .02.... I would get a Talon SS from Joe (airgun/cuz). PM him here or go here and call http://www.longislandairguns.com/. He will give you a great price on guns and accessories (more of a discount for Forum members). I got one from him after looking over at http://talonairgun.com/forum/ and http://www.talontunes.com/. No they are not repeaters, but very easy to load quickly and you can modify the hell out of them. 2nd choice Marauder for sure.

What will the gun be used for,,, hunting,, target,, both ??
I have a Talon and a Condor as well as a Marauder.... all .22 and they are all great guns. The Air Force guns are nice because you can buy different barrels and change calibers in a matter of minutes,,, of course you have to resight :) and they also have a ton of after market accessories that are readily available for them. Bad point,,,, trigger is not adjustable, although I like both my triggers fine and it's not uncommon to have to coordinate tophat and power settings with chrony testing to get the guns to shoot their best. The Air Force guns are indeed sweet, powerful and extremely accurate. That being said my first choice would a Marauder for the following reasons.....
Built in shroud and so quiet it's amazing
adjustable trigger as well as fully adjustable power settings
10 shot clips that work great
extremely accurate with the power needed to be a great hunter,,, or you can turn it down for target.
CO2 friendly if you ever decide to go that route.
You can take it from the box and just start shooting if you want. You can of course adjust it how you like it but from the box it'll shoot great. An Air Force gun will probably shoot great also, but you may have to experiment with the tophat settings and power adjustments to get it to be consistent. The Marauder will be consistent right from the box.
Crosman warranty record..... they are great to deal with if you should have any problems. BTW.... Air force is also great to deal with.....
Anyway, I'd go with the Marauder first, I think it'll give you everything you want and need in a pcp.... you won't be sorry.....
Just wanna say though,,,, don't get me wrong,,,, I love my Air Force rifles and would never part with them,,, they are absolutely outstanding guns...... just wanted to get that in there :)

The gun will be for little thing hunting up to probably bandit size. I want a .22, and then if I want to take it further, I wil get a condor in .25 or above.
I was thinking a 850 or Disco in 177 for grandma's feathered foes, a Marauder in .22 for hunting, and a bigger condor for bigger stuff if wanted.

My vote is for the Blizzard. Hard hitting and very comfortable, at least the one I have is.
