Oh man, good to be back. Went on an adventure to the other side of the world, met the girl of my dreams, but I still can’t seem to get away from this damn hobby even knowing it will drain my bank account : )

I’m sure I’m not alone in this regard, I absolutely love the aesthetics of PCPs (Airguns in general). They come in many shapes and sizes,from the elegant, to the tactical, and unique. And with the holidays coming up my gf asked me if there’s anything I’d like.

With that said I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on what you think are some of the best looking pic/mlok accessories, grips, foregrips, replacement butt stocks, scope rings, you name it, to kit out some of these beauties (if available for purchase please provide links).

This is my current top contender but looking forward to seeing what everyone posts!

Btw hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving!

(Also sorry to drop this in general but it kinda bled over multiple other more specific sub-forums.)
 
Function before form. I had no idea people bought things for their air guns based on how it looked.
Who knew?
Not looking to offend anyone, I just never heard of such before and never gave it consideration.
After collecting vintage over and under shotguns, revolvers and a few rifles I got used to nicely grained wood and blued steel as the benchmark of beauty in a firearm. Very few air guns use these materials anymore and I can look at my meager collection of 8 PCP’s and tell you honestly they are not aesthetically appealing. Awesome at what they do, but attractive? Nah

The only reason for nicely grained wood and blued steel are looks. Poplar or synthetic stocks are more practical and there are cheaper and more durable finishes than bluing.

No offense taken, there’s many ways to enjoy the hobby and personally I find disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling to be on par or even above the enjoyment I get from shooting. Probably an oddball there as well but I have a hard time imagining I’m the only person who appreciates a nice looking PCP and would be willing to pay extra to have a custom hardwood grip or spend a couple extra bucks on a red dot because I think it looks substantially ‘cooler’ than another to match a rainstorm 3d.

I've paid extra more than once to get a walnut stock and I've never regretted it. I just get a certain level of enjoyment from shooting a beautiful rifle or seeing it in my safe or leaning against the wall that I don't get from gun that is purely utilitarian. Even if a Gamo happens to shoot just as well as an Air Arms, I'm still going to prefer shooting the Air Arms.
