Of all the airguns I've owned and sold or traded the one I regret most is the Sam Yang .25 Sumatra carbine.

N/A Best *Obsolete* or *Discontinued* PCP Rifle?
- Thread starter SpindleB
- Start date
My FN19 may finally arrive today along with the A. H. Hartley Tiger 10 LE (based on the Super 10).
Been a bit of a delay, lack of power due to wild fires in SoCal.
Quite anxious to play with those classics.

That whole family is just wonderful, I finally acquired a Career 707.
Just love the looks and the power.

Nope, not today, next week. Just shipped today, 10 days after purchase.
The Duc Il Arms pistol will be here today, unless UPS finds their usual reason of "OMG it is sundown in Oakland" to delay delivery.
Any of the Bobcat, Royale, Boss platform by FX. The only guns I own or care to own. Accuracy for pellets is second to none due to Original Smooth Twist barrels (designed around pellets, no slugs). I clean barrels ONCE A YEAR whether needed or not. Action is incredibly smooth, quiet & sure. Their appearance belies their robustness & reliability. POI is pretty much set it & forget it! Only "major" work needed in 7 YEARS was replacement of regulator on my Boss with a Huma reg. Did it myself in under an hour and enhanced an already GREAT gun. Bobcat was discontinued & Royale & Boss are only special order now from what I understand. VERY hard to find negative reports on the platform that was, at one time, a standard at EVERY MAJOR COMPETITION.

Krale has the Boss for $1032, but of course they cannot ship FX to the US.
I'd drop that on a new Boss (same as the old Boss).
The Royale & Boss are right there with my new obsession with older British rifles...

Another vote for the Lelya 2 .22. It is dead nuts accurate with Hades, has an excellent shot count, is quiet with and without the Bat and is robustly built.

I’d guess it would be pretty hard to not throw out the venerable Benjamin Discovery for that title. I wonder if any other airgun got as many people into the pcp game for as inexpensive as they were or spawned as many modifications.

I immediately went to Krale website. No Boss that I can find, nuthin', zip, nada. Was it a used Boss? They don't even carry FX far as I can see & the search bar yielded no results. I paid $1,000 (used) for mine 7 years ago. That was a steal & so glad I jumped on it! Had it & my Royale 500 out today for a couple hours. Years down the road & I STILL get amazed by them!

Edgun R5 .30 Standard.
Yeah, it’s a single shot. What!?! You need more shots than that?

CZ200’s and unregulated Royale for me.
CZ barrels in my two 200’s shoot lots of different pellets well. The Royale was designed specifically for 18gr jsbs and did it phenomenally.

IMHO??
The Crosman 1720T.
Yes it is a pistol but it can outshoot many rifles, anywhere, any time!

They aren't allowed to ship FX to the US unfortunately so the website of Krale (selected; United States) will not show any FX airguns. If you chose rest of the world you can see them, but shipping to the US is still not possible.

@Ezana4CE - Here's a couple photos of the Kalibrgun Colibri .22 cal.
Left handed shooters wouldn't be very comfortable with one. For the 2 reasons I like it. Cocking/Safety.
It has a left hand short 1.300" straight slide cocking mechanism, with a toggle type Safety under the shooters finger.
When benched probably been the most accurate pellet shooter I've owned out to 100 yards, even with a cheap scope.
I always thought Kalibrgun should have perfected this platform. Make it ambidextrous for one thing.
Left hand cocking.

That was what I said
"Krale has the Boss for $1032, but of course they cannot ship FX to the US."
I even messaged them and asked if there was a way to make an exception since they have the only new Boss for sale on the web.
They said no.
