You hit the nail right on the head. "It doesn't matter what you pay for it...but that you have fun..." Too many times I've read on other forums and seen the "snobbery" about airguns. Often when someone posts about a lower cost gun (i.e Gamo, Chinese, etc) they get brow beat. "Buy a better gun, etc." And they (the airgun snobs)can't believe that a lower cost gun could be fun, much less accurate. Many equate accuracy and fun with price. Well, maybe that's all they can afford. Or maybe they could afford it, but just choose not to spend more money. Not everyone can justify spending $500+ for an airgun that doesn't come with any optics. Then there is the "tinker factor". If I'm going to take apart an airgun ( and potentially &%^$& it all up) I prefer that it be low cost. That's why I like this forum, no "snobbery", just guys and gals who enjoy the guns and the hobby.
