N/A Best *Obsolete* or *Discontinued* PCP Rifle?

[SpindleB]

As PCP technology moves into more and more expensive territory what is the best rifles left behind.
I am getting quite partial to my FX Bobcat .30 and imagine its siblings Boss & Royale are just as good.
It is still a laser accurate rifle.

Secondly, the Career 707 in its many parents, names and styles.
Just a powerful and HEAVY rifle.

What else is up there and why?

And no, not MK1 vs Mk2 version, the whole line.

I agree with above stated rifles.Would add Streamline and Taipan Veteran 1.

I dont know if it's the 'best', but I loved my Colibri. I ended up selling it a while back and still miss it. Just a great little compact gun. Can still find them now and then for a premium.

The Colibri is the only .22 cal. that will be with me until kick off. It's a one of a kind.
Anti double load, cocking like all guns should have, safety right where it should be and in a small light weight gun.

I said the same thing before and then in a moment of weakness, I caved and sold it. Dont be me.

Geeze...that "best" question again...

I'll add in the discontinued, Edgun, Lelya 2 / R5M Matador.
"Actually"...built like a tank of airguns ! Run over by a pickup...TWICE, right across the center, and still works properly. Try that, in most any other of todays airguns.

That trick alone should put it (them) into any "best"...discontinued airgun catagory.

Another vote for the Edgun Lelya 2.0.

@Long_Shot Can you post a photo of that Colbri? Sounds like a helluva PCP.

I think the S200/CZ200 is discontinued now. It would be at the top of my list.

Can’t determine the best, all are different in their own right, here’s a few that I’ve owned in the past and few I always wanted to get.

Theoben Rapids , Falcons , BSA Super ten bull barrel, Logun MK2 , Skan, FX Cyclone. Webley Raider. Ripley.

I still Shoot my old Air Arms 410 Extra FAC,old rifles still a laser.

 

[shambozzie]

Pick -em.

 

[Motorhead]

Any that remains functioning, holds accuracy to a shooters fault and you like. The rest is subjective

Hence the qualifier:
"What else is up there and why?"

Quite subjective which is why the request for "What else is up there and why?" was included

Bobcat is hard to argue with. Taipan Mutant/Veteran 1 and Daystate Regal (bolt action) pick-em!

 

[Bocephus]

Pick -em.

I know a picture is worth a thousand words, but a few words can be helpful.

 

[PasadenaMike]

For me the Edgun Leshiy Classic

Taipan Veteran 1 doesn't count, the Taipan Veteran 2 exists.
I'm looking more for when the whole family or even manufacturer was ended.
Theoben Mk4
Evanix Giant
Falcon Hawk
etc
More of a research project on my part
