Hey all,
12 years ago, I decided I needed a nice air gun, and ended up building a Crosman 1322 with a bunch of custom parts. I consulted the experts on Gateway to Airguns forums. At that time I became aware of PCP airguns. In particular I remember seeing posts by a user knifemaker and @Nomadic Pirate 66 about Rainstorms. I think FX was not as big at that time, and side lever guns were not as common. I though, maybe some day, I’ll get a Rainstorm.
Well, numerous PCPs that I have bought and sold since, today is that day. I got a Rainstor
m in .30 cal that I purchased from @Nomadic Pirate 66. This one has been tuned by the late Will Piatt. I like the ergonomics, the balance is nice, the lever is smooth, and the trigger is very nice.
The 51 grain JSBs are supposed to arrive Wednesday. Looking forward to getting it zipping some lead over the chrono and seeing how it groups at 50 yards. It has been a while since I have played with a non regulated gun, so I am looking forward to getting geeky figuring out the power curve.
