Wife says one more PCP-for christmas-help

With only 1 PCP allowed I would get this:


I did. It is awesome and extremely accurate. This one was doing 1010fps with AA Field Diablo's before I turned her down for target shooting. It's 177. A mates one also in 177 does 950 with Barracuda Match at 10.4gr.
They are quite short compared to all the other guns in my arsenal.

I just got a Sumatra 2500 carbine in .25. All I can say is WOW this thingis really powerful and it is accurate too. You can turn it down to where the noise isn't much more than a loud springer and still shoot accurately out to 35-40 yaard. It is a very nice gun for the money with a lot of good feature. short, lightweight power adjustable, 6 shot and shoulders great(at least for me). you will only get about 12 shots on high power and up to 24 on the lower settings

I think the Talon SS owners here pretty well sum it up. I got an SS about month ago. I think the 12 inch barrel will shoot fine at 40 yards right out of the box. I got mine with a tri-rail which I would highly recommend. The accessory rails already on the gun make it very easy to add a laser etc. I have made one tophat adjustment after getting some info from Dave here. I have it set about 850 to 800 shooting Kodiaks which I feel is powerful enough. I just got a bipod last week and I don't know if I really like it or not but it sure does make the gun easy to set down. I have to admit the standard SS with the end cap is much louder than I expected as it is set from the factory. The Talon guns lend themselves to be modded fairly easily.

I got the Talon SS from Air Hog after I bought an air tank from Air Hog who I really enjoyed doing business with. Very helpful guys out there. With the tank I felt I could do a lot more PCP shooting and not worry about pumping. I think Air Hog can make the SS into a .25. I know they are excited about the .25 caliber option.

The Talon seems to be a really great gun, that is until you try guns that are alot better, I had this problem.  As soon as I saw Kirby's Air Arms carbine, and bought a similar Air arms gun, the rest seemed junky.

If I was to get only one gun, it would be an ERB in .177.  Talons seem like a turd compared to the Air Arms line.  Trust me on this.

I enjoyed reading all the helpfull post,and i would be the first to agree,that there are better and more costly guns,but i have to get what i want to spend bucks on and to be fair to wife . If i were a young guy ,i would go hog wild and buy the top of the line. But,i think i will settle on talon either  the ss or talon with extra barrel and pump. And all you guys that have the air arms ,and the others ,forgot the names of them , i do envy you. And thanks for all replies, PaulJ.
