Not even close to $1200I have three FX rifles. A Wildcat MKIII .22, a Crown Continuum MKII .22 and an Impact MKII in .22. They came from UA, UA and PA respectively. Each had their companies in house tune before shipping with JSB 18.13’s and all work outstanding. Now it’s my turn to screw them up.
I agree 100 percent.Daystate Huntsman
177 "NON-REGULATED" in Regal or Revere configuration...AOA has brand new Reveres non-reg for 1099.00 with 5 year warrenty...Been shooting one (Regal) for years...For a beginner or ANYONE looking for preminum preformance at a "fair" price this is the way to go...don't get cought up in worring about "no reg" I did a test YEARS ago with mine, 90 shots off my knee at 25 yards could be covered with a quarter(I did have the sling shot turned down a little but not necessary out of box)...that picture is posted somewhere...I killed that phone and lost all my pixs. I will post, again, a target boards I shot years ago, (and it hasn't lost a thing) with Air Arms 10.34 pellets at 25 and 55 yards 10 shot groups (ALL TEN SHOTS!!!)View attachment 343635View attachment 343636...with my 3rd hand un-regulated Regal...I have some of the best airguns on earth in my collection and NON OF 'EM CAN OUT SHOT THIS UNREGULATED REGAL!!! I dispached many pests with it and mine shoots CPHP very well and easy to hand pump...great trigger and you couldn't shoots one anymore than I have with no issues...I believe in this platform...I have two Regals...I can't imagain anyone not being satisified with one of these...I post this for the benfit of others in this hobby cause I'm a believer!

and still your asking an opinion , " this gun is truly wonderful out of the box and first shot "hit my steel target @ 75 yards !" turns out his target was 18 inch diameter steel saw blade . But what else is there ? Luckly this is AGN and most people have an idea of what your asking .After reading many threads where members ask questions seeking advice concerning which gun to purchase for hunting/pesting, a first PCP for backyard plinking, or wanting to tryout benchrest styled shooting I saw several posts where tinkerers, competitors, and mechanically inclined members are advising Rick Fat Thumb, Mr. Cubicle, and Joe Hammerfist to purchase their favorite first tinkerers’ toy. So it dawned on me this morning to search for a thread listing and detailing members’ experiences with good “out of the box shooters.” I didn’t find much in a quick search, so I felt compelled to create a thread for it.
In the context of this thread a good “out of the box shooter” should be a gun that is relatively easy to setup for a person completely new to PCP airguns, shoots with consistent accuracy, and maintains the potential for relatively reliable precision once the shooter learns what it takes to shoot more precisely. Considering that this is a thread that will likely benefit more people new to air gunning, let’s aim to keep the cost for rifles under $1200 and air pistols under $600. The suggested guns should meet the following criteria:
Other things that may be helpful-
- The guns must be PCP airguns.
- After unboxing, affixing an optic or sights, maybe giving the barrel a decent cleaning to remove most of the manufacturer’s grease, gassing up, and sighting in your scope (if applicable), the gun should shoot accurately and relatively consistently within a reasonable distance for its build out of the box. This entails something like 10 yards for pistols, 25 -35 yards for low-powered compact carbines and bullpups (maybe < 20-25fpe), and 50 yards for moderately priced entry level and budget rifles on up into up into the lower middle-tiered PCPs. It should do this without having to be tuned by a distributor or gunsmith.
- It may be regulated or unregulated.
- It should be a gun built to last more than a year without the accuracy being compromised. Maybe share with us how it has held up after a year or two.
- Guns you’ve had your eye on for a while are great, but guns you have experience with are preferred.
- Specify what the gun’s strengths and weaknesses are. Are there known issues or problematic parts?
- Suggest what you believe good primary and secondary uses are (e.g. a good pesting tool for animals “xxx” size to “zzz” size, good basement paper target puncher, etc).
- Be sure to discuss the sound level and weight.
- Finally, parts and diagrams should be relatively easy to access.
Left hand is an option...see 'em for sale quite often....think they are a little more money.I like those, but they aren't left hand friendly
They used to be...my buddy has one and I see them advertised quite often...I like those, but they aren't left hand friendly
