Hey guys new to the PCP. Im looking for a mid priced rifle to plink and target shoot in my back yard. Im a noon to PCP but not shooting. Ive converted my 1022 Ruger into my own. (custom barrel, custom trigger and stock) and been plinking with my Crossman and Beman in the backyard for years now and its time for me to step it up. What are some suggestions for me to consider. Id like to stick to the best bang for the buck in the $1500 or less catagory.
Ive narrowed down some options based on some of the following criteria.
These are some options that I started to look at and thought might be good options.
This is an odd ball not sure if its all the hype around this modle but watching the reviews its like the best thing since sliced bread.
FX Impact 600mm 480cc is it as good as everyone says? My concerns are with all the complexity (tuning)and lots of pontential failure points (lots of o rings) and potential for leaks. With all that said I have not seen a lot of issues or negative comments about this gun. Most if not all of the reviews give it extremely high praise. So is it worth paying extra???
The IMPACT is really more than I want to spend. Id like to stick under the $1500 price point BUT if its that good i dont mind eating penut butter and jelly sandwiches for another month.
These are some PCP that ars on my radar. Please help me confirm or rulle out these options and let me know if I have missed anything.
Ive narrowed down some options based on some of the following criteria.
- Shooting distance 25-100 yd plinking and field targets. NRL22 targets
- .22 calibur
- Regulated (accuracy over power)
- 2 stage trigger
- Magizine loading
- Tight grouping and accuracy is top priority. Target Shooting
- Picitiny or weaver rail for accessories like bipod and scope.
- Needs to be adjustable based ammunition selection ( pellets/slugs)
- Nice to have and high secondary priority would be to be able to swap to another barrel for a diffrent caliber.
- Nice to have shoot slugs and pellets from same barrell with out having to swap
- Nice to have a moderator/silencer as an included item.
