I wouldn’t. Because that’s too much money for an airgun…unless that airgun was somehow going to make money for me.

A hypothetical question
- Thread starter Footloose
- Start date
My bad, I thought you were asking for advice rather than general conversation. Nothing wrong with that, but I'll probably shoot what I've got as long as I'm on top of the dirt, wouldn't buy a thing.

Been thinking about it for a year, I think I'll let Derrick Wall help me out as he may be able to use one of my two guns which would save me some money.

FX Dynamic VP .25 600 because it has the slightly more power than my M3 .25 700
And install it in a Delta Force chassis with a 300cc 300bar air cylinder hidden in the chassis.
I've been shooting my DRS way more than my M3 because it looks and feels like a firearm and not an air rifle.
It definitely won't be a 50 plus shots on a fill rifle but that's ok.

I received an email from Delta Force said that they will be releasing the Dynamic chassis and a DRS chassis at RMAC.

If your total budget is $2500 and you need air. Check out the classifieds for used RAWs $1500 or lest. $500 for scope and $500 for compression . Fantastic accuracy and trigger . Parts no problem. Tune it and shoot it. Proven platform that work.

It would be a .22.....probably between a Ghost HP, Taipan V2 700mm, new Evol HP and an Epic 2 700mm, already have an incredible RAW Chassis!

It’s interesting to see the RAW come out as most recommended…I didn’t know anything about them until I was traveling for work and decided to do a guided iguana hunt in Florida. I didn’t plan for it and didn’t have any of my own gear with me, almost bought a Notos and pump there but decided to spend the money on a guide. I used his RAW chassis .22 with Arken 5-25 off Two Bros tripod, he said he had owned multiple FX’s but felt the RAW was more durable and reliable for field use, and then I watched a YouTube video about current production and that they all get tested and nothing leaves the factory that won’t shoot 3/4” or better. Even new that rifle with Arken is less than $2500, it was just a little big for me(with moderator too), I’m a huge fan of bull pups but I sure do want a RAW and if I could only have one gun I wouldn’t be too upset if it was a RAW. I don’t know why they don’t run higher pressure bottles for more power and/or higher shot count but iguana hunting was pretty fast and furious and I didn’t actually find it lacking for either, so they seem to know what they’re doing. For what it’s worth, the guide also provides a RAW micro hunter with Arken 1-8 for finishing/close shots. Although I don’t have one yet, I expect I’ll end up with a RAW or two before I’m done…

I guess it all depends on what your wanting to do with it and wha caliber.for that money and for tournament id look at the new Feinwerkbau 800 evo. It is not in anything larger that .177.. I talked with someone in germany at FWB factory 6 mos. Ago and when I asked why they dont make thier rifles in .22? He responded sharply with EU regulations make it difficult to make a rifle that will have any semblance of power, I love my nation the USA.. they haven't got around to demonizing Air rifles yet...

Interesting comments guys...No love for FX impact or Scout Epoch or Daystate that's a surprise . If I was In the market for a high end gun It would be between the Scout Epoch or Daystate Wolverine I especially like the look of the sapphire ltd edition and the five year warranty Is very attractive . food for thought .

I would probably get a red panda or maybe an epoch. Total bench rest gun is a pcp niche I lack.

If i had 2500 to spend right now on another rifle, I would put a down payment on a Thomas and hope i have the balance by the time it is built

Daystate huntsman .22 Tuxing 032 compressor, Athlon Argos 8-34x56 scope, and some jsb 18gr pellets. that should blow a hole in the dream budget!

So $2500 got me a Skout Epoch .22 In dark olive ( bought from the pellet shop nice people ) , It was a hard choice It came down to three pcp's but after a loooooot of research the scout won out ..

Tonight question. The airguns that come to mind for me are out of that price range with the exception of maybe a GK1.

Thinking about spending $2500 ? i think i would just buy 4 custom fancy wood stocks for the springers i already have .
Fancy wood ? is it worth $400 or $500 dollars for a chunk of fancy wood ?, to put on a $700 dollar springer ?
The answer is YES! money can only buy happiness. If your happy with spending the money, AND your happy with the end result is worth the cost .
Actually i am thinking of a very fancy wood stock for my Sheridan pumper .
