what kind of pcp would u get to start of with

[geewhiz380]

if its your first time,and why .,im in the market for one but i want to take my time cause its a expensive habit and this one will remain with me for awhile,i like the blizzard cause its a repeater and it not loud , but its costly and the extra stuff on the other hand the maradur is also multi shooter not loudand its co2 as well even though i have enough children that could all take turns pumping the pcp for daddy hehehe ......

That's actually a tough question Jorge as there are more than a few variables to consider but my vote would be for an Air Force Talon SS.  It's quiet, deadly accurate, the power wheel adjuster lets you easily and quickly go from a low setting giving you a ton of shots at lower FPS for indoor or target shooting  to a high setting where you'll be spitting out 21 grain Kodiaks at 900 FPS for some serious hunting power.  The other nice thing is that since all the Air Force barrels are interchangeable  you can, in only a few minutes, change to an 18 or 24 inch barrel  in either .177, .20 or .22 caliber.  An added bonus is that if you purchase the CO2 adaptor you then have the option of running the gun on CO2.  I just changed my Talon over to CO2 for this summers bird hunting and I have to tell you the accuracy and power I'm getting with the CO2 is very impressive,,, not to mention the fact that with my 20 ounce CO2 tank I can expect to get somewhere near 1000 shots before I have to get it refilled.  Also,,,, there are a ton of "accessories" available for the gun from Air Force, not to mention all the "after market" mods that you can easily purchase.  

Can you tell that I absolutely LOVE me Talon and my Condor ??   :)

I actually think of them not as rifles but as "weapons platforms"  :)

Seriously though,,,,, I just can't say enough about the capabilities and performance of the 2 Air Force rifles I own.  The options that are available to you with these rifles is amazing, as is the power and accuracy.  I realize the "look" of the rifles may not appeal to everyone and I understand that, but if the "look" does appeal to you then I personally think the Air Force rifles definitely deserve consideration.....

Just my opinion..... others no doubt will disagree with me.....


There is also something to be said for the Discovery/pump combination.  We all know that the pump is not the best in the world but it will get you shooting right off the bat and  it's possible that the pump will operate trouble free for a very long time.  The price of the combo certainly can't be beat,,,, for $400 bucks you're getting a PCP and a pump and you are all set to shoot.  This  gives you the option of taking your time about purchasing the scuba tanks and such that you may decide to get later.  Discos have proven themselves to be very effective hunters provided you get a "good one".  Getting  a "prepped" one from MAC-1 or Mountain Air will pretty much guarantee that you do get a "good one" right out of the box.  

Ok,,, I"m done.....  Someone else's turn to recommend a shooting system........   :)

I was going to recommend a B50 or 51 tuned by BigEd. They come with a nice trigger and have a lot of potential.

I need to hear what price your willing to pay, first.  Then what are you using it for?  Just remember that you must buy a support system for your PCP.  Does it have to be quiet? Tell us.

ok price range 600 but maybe 700 the most i use it for target and soon to hunt but i like  something that will do 100 yds with no problem noise not really cause its for outdoor use and im taling my time with this purchase but im planing ahead cause of the veriety i had the talon and condor also in mind but then again i have about 7 to choose from i like my springers but ever since i bought a qb78d.22 with a tko muzzle brake i felt for the need of a pcp i just might convert my qb i have two but if it cost me the same why not a new one .......

I'm really wanting a Marauder. That or a Condor.

[geewhiz380]

if i only could get what belongs to me .i hate when lawers take there sweet a.s.s. time especially a family lawer....im ready to go pay him a visit....

[PelletPaul]

I think half the air gun population ordered a Marauder in the last couple of weeks.  If your willing to wait on performance from these air gunners you might get one of these.  I know we have a good population of Condor owners hear and from the sounds of it they really like them.  You have to choose a caliber and for paper punching a .177 would be a good choice.  If you primary use is hunting then a .22 or .25 caliber will work best for this application.  Write down everything you want from your PCP.  I researched for months before deciding on a PCP and you should too.  Good luck.  We'll be waiting for you on the Darkside.        Paul
