Drifter, I’m in Texas and Utah is close enough. Utah AG would definitely be my go to. Thanks. Edo.

PS-I remember when Ed SHILEN first got, the bug Large scale RC aircraft.. That was a hoot.!

RC, experience? Yes Meaningful experience? Not so much. In air rifles I understand Springers. CO2 pistols still have me baffled. Tools I have and very good ones. But the idiosyncrasies of extreme pressure and control are not my forte. I look forward to sharing your experience with the M3...

Thanks….I think…. Edo.

Pluma blanca, ¡gracias! You’re wearing the shoes I hope to fill. Please feel free to PM me as I have a lot to ask. Edo.

Good method, sir. Thanks. Edo.

Ragu, spoken like a man who’s been there and done that. What function does a backbone rail serve? I am certain It, like a barrel tensioner provides increased rigidity and more disciplined Barrel harmonics. At how many rounds should I expect to need replacing o-rings and rebuilding regulators...

Driver, my mechanical inclination is rivaled only by my PCP ignorance, and I’d hate to be the one further ruining a really good gun only for lack of understanding. As far as the basic set up goes, yes I plan for the heavy slug barrel in 700 mm as you recommend. I think it will serve well enough...

Drifter, thanks for the advice. I think if I were buying used, it would only be from Utah unless you’ve got a better recommendation..Better yet, what Athlon and Element models Would you suggest or choose for yourself in setting up an M3? Thanks again. I look forward to your reply Edo.

Crow, I’m beginning to sound to myself like a broken record, but thanks again for the reminder. Edo.

Worry, Amen your comment especially as I don’t know PCPs sufficiently well yet. Edo.

ED, I agree with you about Utah. they’ve been the most reliable counsel I’ve gotten from any retailer, forthcoming with information and not a sales pitch. If I were to buy used, it would certainly be from them, but I despair that the gun I want will necessarily ever be available from them used...

DENS, I agree and thanks. Edo.

OBCOM, the disorder thing is vastly overrated. Amen your comments and thanks. Edo.

Chukar, amen to market bling! I’m leaning toward buying the rifle new with any trick installed by a reputable dealer, i.e. power block, Barrel tensioner, etc. if you were buying any of your M3’s again, what would you buy new in terms of tricking them out? It seems there’s quite an aftermarket in...

Knives, I figure to be in the system for something a bit over three grand. Believe me, I’ve got all the F class and tactical accoutrements I need. I’m figuring for a tank to be commercially refilled and a small compressor to fill rifle mounted tanks in the field. Your comment on optics intrigues...

LDP, First, thanks for a thoughtful and reasoned response. As to your #’s 1&2, I heartily agree that I wouldn’t know what to look for as regards problems. All this scores in the “buy new” column. My response to #3 necessity points up my profound ignorances as to PCPs in general and the M3 in...

To all of you collectively, thanks! I will shortly be addressing each of you and the points you’ve raised. Agai, ¡muchas gracias a todos Uds.! Edo.

I’m buying my first PCP and it will be a 700mm .22 FX M3. Questions are 1) New or used? 2) if used, what price? 3) Any special configuration? 4) What optics? (lots of backyard and occasional 100-200yd) Thanks, y’all CBX
