What other PCP would be comparable...........

In price & accuracy as a Talon SS???

I'm toying with the idea of trading my Talon SS for a more "Traditional" style rifle.

Sam, the best deal out there that's even close to the price of a Talon is the AirArms Carbine in factory rifle. And they're right at $500 if you can find a 10% off coupon from Pyramyd . Accuracy and quality is better than the Talon IMO. I  playing with a Crosman 2250 conversion at the moment that I've got set up on CO2 but I bought a regulated HPA paintball bottle today that's set at 850psi output that I'm going to try out . I should be able to just drain the tube and swap out the bottles when I fill. In  .177 on CO2 and everything stock except for  a B&A bulking kit , I was getting 690fps at 70 degrees . If you don't care for my stock set up ; Steve Corcoran makes a couple of more traditional looking stock. kirby

I tried it for 3 fills with my Crosman and got only 5 shots per fill before POI dropped at 10 meters and then I noticed  after only 3 fills , my tank  pressure had dropped 1000psi. I took it back and bought myself two 20oz CO2 bottles and a coiled remote  for using my 9oz bottles . A lot more shots with CO2 . kirby

Thanks for the info Kirby!

I actually have been looking at either the AirArms S400C or the S200 Sporter. The Webley Raider and Evanix AR6 with ambidextrous stock... I'm leaning toward the Webley...But then again, I like the Hammer Cock feature of the Evanix.

Gotta sell off the Talon first though!
