Well now you’re making me think I should just get a tuned Marauder from Airgun Revisions and call it a day for now
not that this would be bad at all. Can’t really tell if y’all are trying to say not to spend so much on a single gun or what, tbh.Upvote 0
You will get all kinds of advice here, as we have the full range of budgets covered. Personally I think buying at least one really nice pcp can end up being cheaper in the long run. If you want top shelf now, an MRod will stem your cravings for a while. But you will still end up getting what you really wanted at some point anyway. The thing I would urge you to consider is you can get 2 really nice pcps for the price of a Daystate Alpha.Well now you’re making me think I should just get a tuned Marauder from Airgun Revisions and call it a day for now
Tony still has 1 more Taipan Veteran Gen 1 Compact in 25Cal with the wood stock. That will fill a lot of your goals, they are stupid accurate, dead nutz reliable long term, rear lever cocking, pretty nice looking, etc. Considering the performance that rifle will bring, the $1195 price tag is tempting to many of us. Play with something like that for a couple years and see what other roles you cant fit it into and get the clean up Daystate Revere or AA 510 later. And if you were to get 2 pcps you might not find the need to swap Cals or upgrade etc.
I ended up buying a compact walk around 22Cal hunter, and a heavy long range 25Cal. That pretty much covers me for anything I really need a pcp for. After a few years of learning and experience I found what I really like and want. That lead me to a fun purchase recently for a handy 177 I plan to dual use for FT and short distance pesting.

That‘s a pretty gun. I have a lot to think about. Thanks for the food for thought, I appreciate it.You will get all kinds of advice here, as we have the full range of budgets covered.

I suppose the platform that started all the caliber change and barrel swapping is out of the question.

My first thought as I read your (OP) post was a BRK Ghost until I saw your preference for wood. Whoops, I forgot there is a wood aftermarket stock for the Ghost now. Pretty cool looking I think.
With wood I think the higher end Air Arms would make a nice fit for you, the workmanship is fantastic and some of the wood stocks with contrasting fore end caps are beautiful.
If it were me I would get the Huben K1 in Wood. I ordered one yesterday in fact and I have the ghost for barrel interchangeability, if I ever want to do that. To date I've never changed a caliber in an air rifle. I've done it with rimfires, but obviously not to change calibers.
I like a rifle less than 40" and frankly a Pup closer to 30" is ideal for my uses. That disqualifies the Air Arms for me although my first PCP was an Air Arms and I still recall the fantastic blueing on the gun's metal.
