I just got in to the PCP game and my first PCP was the Commander XR .22 its awesome in every way, fast forward to yesterday walked in to AOA and find out the RTI Prophet Performance .25 cal. is on sale. I think you know what happened next so new I have 2 PCP. the question is should I sell the commander .22 cal
Brocock Commander XR.22 Keep or sell

You have a problem I would like to have. I agree with what L.Leon said above. Only you can make that decision. They are both fine rifles. Keep them both for a while and give yourself some options. Sometimes you will want the .22, sometimes you will want the .25. The Brocock fared quite well in Dana's Survival Test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVb29M95HX4

I've found myself with "airgun sprawl" and I have also tried to be the "one-gun" guy. Neither really ended up working for me. Now I try to limit myself to a few guns that don't really overlap. If you have the mean to get the RTI without causing undo hardship, do it!

It would be pretty difficult for me to sell any gun which was 'awesome in every way'.
Very early on I tried the 'one gun fits all needs' approach. And I failed miserably at that.
Sometimes it is just very nice to have a choice of what I want to shoot that particular day, or for a specific need. Based on my experience with owning multiple Brococks, they are a very smooth and pleasurable gun to shoot. Based on my experience with a single Prophet which I previously owned, they can be a little harsh shooting due to the power they are capable of, in a small & light package. (But that hasn't prevented me from purchasing another one at AoA's current discount pricing.)
2 different calibers, 2 pretty different guns. I say keep them both. Plus zx10wall has so much more air gun experience than I do, so I wouldn't ever go against his advice!

I say keep it. Now you have 1 gun in .25 and one in .22. Soon you'll have 2 in each, 3, 4 etc.....

Keep it. We are talking airguns, not women. You can have as many as you can afford and more is better.....

thanks you have made my decision (that I was thinking of doing easer ) I will be keeping it. The RTI is awesome I will post pics later today after I mount a scope I have 3 choices a FFP vortex Viper PST 2.5x10 , FFP Vortex Razer 3.5x18 or a swamp fox 1x10 SFP
the Razor is a long shot just for weight its a pig but I will see what I like the best. The 1x10 I think will be the best fit we shall see

Keep it for now, the prices of used is going down due to the economy and people are not spending due to inflation, hold on to it till the economy gets better (if it ever does).

you are gonna want to keep that .22. especially if its a good shooter. dont ever get rid of a gun that shoots well.
i have a few airguns, in many calibers. if ind myself shooting my compatto .22 90% of the time. .25 and .30 calibers are overkill for birds and pesting. that .22 will see alot of trigger time.

I'd keep it. Having a accurate PCP is great. I think you'll regret getting rid of it.
But if you really think it will just not get used... I'd wait just a bity and see how you feel.

Can never hurt to try to move it. Just put brand new price (like the one for sale on one of these forum classifieds) and see if any suckers err I mean people bite.
