N/A Getting fed up

[Headshots]

I'm on my 3rd compressor and went with a gx cs2 this time . So far it seems to be better quality than the cheap Vevors . Some guys are on their 3rd year with basic maintenance and it can be rebuilt. It's a basic no frills compressor. I did still get a 3 year warranty so I'm good for a while. If I can stay under 100 bucks a year for hpa I'm happy.

Yeah my rovair one has been holding up but with me going back to Pistons I'm selling all my PCP's except for my K-1 so it will get a lot less work out

I'm on my second compressor, but I shoot my springers the most. I shoot all kinds as well MPP, SSP, CO2's, and Daisy's with grandkids.

I'm trying to cut back to 6 pcps. But I shoot the lower power one's more than my 47 and 60 fpe one's. So not a huge air consumption.

I also like having a hw95 and hw30 around .

I think that unless you’re hunting or doing long range shooting that low powered PCPs are where it’s at. When you can get 150 plus shots to a charge all of a sudden PCPs don’t feel like a PITA anymore to charge and you don’t have to worry about backstops or noise as much.

Yeah it's tempting to get a huntsman safari or uragan 2 compact in 177 and shoot sub 20fpe.

Yup, My only accurate PCP is my Crown 600mm .30 cal, and it destroys my targets and backstops. So i have acquired a 380mm .22 cal conversion kit, and a hand full of mags, with the intention of de-tuning it for accuracy and shot count.
I get three 13 round mags per fill with the .30 cal.

I picked up a second hand RWS350 and other than I being as long as a telephone pole it’s not heavy and shoots very nice.

I got it off the forums here for $250 I believe and it is much better than the HW80 I bought from Air Guns of Arizona for around $800 as I got the “long Range Hunter”.

The T06 trigger I would put on even with the Record trigger, In my opinion the new RWS/Diana guns are better than the new HW, as I have a Diana 350, Diana 48, HW80, and HW77 all purchased in the last 2 years, and I would put the 350 and 48 above the 77 and 80.

I totally agree I got my impact M3 .22 set at 19ftlbs and I get 200 shots per fill with air still available in the bottle. Shooting FX 16 grain pellets accuracy is excellent no problem hitting quarter size kill zones from 10 to 70 yards.

What caliber is your350? I was looking at one of those a 460 or getting another 97

 

[extradrygin2001]

Mine is in .177, I wanted a .22 but I was in a hurry to buy and that’s what was on the forum at that time.

I have thought about the 460 also, but I have too many Air rifles now and don’t have the time to use 1/4 of them but if the right price at the right time comes…..

Well, I have been into pcp for a little over a year now and my second compressor is going on the frits. I have way too many PCPs I think so I'm going to thin the heard and just have 3. I have always had springers, piston or gas rams.
I am wanting to get one for a dedicated hunting gun in 22. I have asked this before but best bang for the buck? What about a 95/r9, Diana 350, or a good gas ram? I sold my lefty tx200 and all I have is a 54 in 177 setup for FT and an old Remington npss in 22. Slings are nice and weight about 10lbs with scope. Sorry if I keep asking but this pcp game is getting to be a pain in the arse!

Nothing as simple and dependable as a nice springer. Here's mine. HW95 .20, peep sight, keeps it light and no need for a scope, quarter size groups out to 30 yards no problem.

That's awesome. I have no desire to shoot open sites anymore on anything but I'm glad you can still do it. I do need to get my sling set up on my 97 in 20cal for this coming fall for squirrels
