I agree and think this is a bigger problem that is being laughed off by the entire industry. I spoke with New England Air guns owner today and he in no uncertain words told me they all leak and that's just something we have to accept across all brands as normal despite the outrageous prices on these Airguns. Bin from Bin Tac blames the customer for the PCP problems despite them always being right out of the box issues everyone who buys them have to deal with despite paying more than a firearm for them. I have spent 50 thousand dollars on PCP rifles over the past 10 years. Every single air rifle I have ever purchased as a PCP leaks air day one and constantly after until the gun is so useless it cannot be used . Replacing seals is impossible to prepare for as they all use freak sized seals and do not offer exploded diagrams of the Airguns they manufacture .Also without many exceptions they break parts constantly and the replacement of parts that break before the gun is broke in falls always on the customer and not the manufacture as they want us to just accept products that are insanely overpriced and are always malfunctioning. They all pretty much without fail will have some part break immediately and when you try to get them warrantied you get push back from most if not all of the companies as they just want you to accept bad products. PCP at least big bore PCP are kind of a huge joke that are ripping anyone who buys them off and asking every customer to accept unusual amounts of dysfunction as "normal" despite some of these air rifles costing us thousands and thousands of dollars. The typical problems that come with PCP big bores are standard and no one who makes them seems to care to fix the issue or blames the customer for being to picky while charging upwards and over $2000 dollars for garbage that will not serve the user unless they put another $1000 dollars into the thing and that will only last a few shoots before the fix starts breaking. PCP manufactures are producing single shot rifles and and charging as much as it costs for a Daniel Defense AR 15 or more and refuse to advance the product to repeat fire shooting and get angered when you ask them why? The truth is they are making great cash off not changing the market. Others are piecing together great ideas but not testing them enough before they come to the market and force customers to pay to repair their manufacturing flaws. If you are thinking about joining the PCP airgun community and you are not a millionaire with a lot of time to invest I strongly suggest you do not buy these products from any company. Benjamin Hatsan, AEA, Western Airguns, Evanix, Umarex and everything in between. They all are not well made and cost far to much money . There are no good manufactures of PCP airguns and it almost seems they want it this way so they do not get regulated by government. If you want to waste your money and hate everyone who sells the items you hunt with then you should get into pcp airguns. No other reason though because they are not good products and no one seems to care.
