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

[SilentSquirrel]

Maybe I missed it.
Because I have trouble believing that in 2 pages of posts no one has mentioned the Daystate Huntsman Regals
Superb rifles

Just my two pence

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.

Buddy of mine accidentally dropped his Leshiy classic which put on his rear tire and ran over it, besides a few scuffs and a partially bent end cap it shot and worked like nothing happened.

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.

Tomorrow is Hartley/Hawk day.
Today was fix and chrono the HM AR6 Pistol

My.25 Sumatra full size has been great. I'm very glad I bought one before it was discontinued. The only problem I have with it is after filling if the hose is to small and doesn't release the pressure in the hose fast enough it will let all of the pressure out of the rifle. I hand pumped it up and when I went to release the pressure in the hose all that hand pumped pressure just leaked out. It's not like I need to hand pump as I have 2 scba tanks but was just seeing if I could still at 72.

Yep, seeing that on my AR6 Pistol. Pointing the gun downward works occasionally but usually I have to pull the fill probe out before it drains the tank.

I had the check valve apart today and I'm thinking a spring to seat things might work.

Falcon Titan Manitou .177 and Career 707 .22 killed thousand of pigeons and Starlings with both of them. Career had a custom cheek rest made by the guy who had it before me he was a violin maker. Falcon was one of the quietest and most accurate guns Ive owned.

mine would be Wicked Air rifles, wish I would have kept mine this was my night time Racoon, skunk and possum destroyer

I do love my CzS200; such a nice lightweight, well built rifle. Especially for its money!

If it has not already been mentioned
Then the FX independence. I would buy one if they made them again with SS pump internals

Daystate Renegade…

Electronic trigger running forever off a simple 9V battery. The rest of the rifle all mechanical - a Wolverine bullpup with Harper slingshot hammer.

If it works or can be rebuilt it is not obsolete.
Should have kept my Beeman MPT (Titan/Falcon) but was too light back when, now would be just right.
Here is an obsolete (kidding) put food on the table Crosman:

I didn't know the R5M/Lelya 2.0 guns were discontinued. Wow very disappointing. Very good guns.

Taipan Vet 1 is on the list for sure. My old Wicked Air Rifles WARP was a fantastic gun. One of the most accurate guns I've owned.

I still have my Falcon FN19 skeleton walnut pistol grip rifle., although I've been thinking of selling it because of my new FX M4 .357. I had a Webley Tempest .22 pistol with walnut stocks that I sold because of my Huben GK1 .25 as that is just so much more fun, accurate, and powerful to shoot.

When I think of the best obsolete, I think of the one whom was one of the first great innovative PCP's with good power, accuracy, and that is the Benjamin Rogue .357 rifle. That to me was one of the first to show the power of PCP's yet Benjamin scraped it after a little over a year if that? and now all they make to me are low end air rifles. If they kept that rifle and got into the more mid to higher quality rifles they would be a one of the leaders but now they are in the low end segment....

That is the problem when brands do not innovate they will often suffer the same fate being obsolete.

It was my A H. Hartley Stalker Tiger 10 LE and a Falcon Hawk FN-19 that were the genesis of this thread. Works of art.

Independence and the Indy are both on my "very interested" lists.

 

[rcarlisle]

I'm kinda partial to the Gen 1 Marauders, myself. They aren't exotic or fancy but they are reliable, accurate and quiet. Also simple to work on. Mine is worth more to me than I could sell it for.

 

[JaceSpace1369]

FX streamline

 

[csdilligaf]

I would say an FX Elite. Made around 2012 and was a single shot that was side cocking had through the bolt transfer port with no probe. I never see anyone post on them any more but I always wanted one.

I really enjoy my older guns. They just work and are built like tanks!
