Of course, if a hammer makes contact on my thumb at high velocity, the inner-sailor bursts out of my mouth!

I think this is now the path I walk.

I think I've already got the full blown itch...wife is already sick of me showing her pictures and talking with her about them constantly haha
She's a good sport tho, I mean to the uninitiated "black gun picture #37" might be kinda boring lol

Definitely going to check this one out
I really wish there were more lever action pcp rifles...im obsessed with old westerns but surprisingly not many, lobos somethings and a Seneca was all I've found and kinda spendy for a personal gimmick fantasy.
Definitely when I drop a bundle tho it's going to be on a precision 100+ yard rifle with a whole lot of power

Sounds like exactly what I want! Guess I got some savings to do
Surprising tho, googling "how to make an off shore back account to hide air rifle purchases from significant other" didn't yield as many helpful results as expected

I used to buy and sell a lot of powder burners back in the day. My gun dealer would give me a receipt from "Joe's Garage" for a nominal fee and make things easier to explain. "That damn water pump went out again".

Smart of you to prepare the wife through “pestering” for the expenditures to come…
Don’t fall into the trap of buying an airgun so powerful you can’t shoot it everyday in your backyard. With airguns, particularly PCPs? Though “counterintuitive” less power equals more hunting, pesting and shooting opportunities for the majority…

Offer $1000. I have one of these in .22 and it is one of the finest, most accurate and reliable rifles in my collection, It's good enough to be the last rifle you buy. (wink, wink)
PCP Rifle - Daystate Air Wolf .25
SOLD TO TSTRAY Hi All, I am listing for sale another air rifle that I bought on a whim and never had a chance to shoot. Unfortunately. It's the same situation as all my other listings so no need to keep telling the story over and over again. Up for sale is a Daystate Airwolf in .25...

I do not follow BOCO logic. I have 5 airguns that cost less than $500 and one that cost $1400. The higher priced one is better machined, no more accurate than the best of the cheaper ones, and heavier than the cheaper ones. I like the cheaper ones as much. If I had to give one up it would be either my Avenger (one of the cheap guns) or the most expensive Caiman X. I do not like the length of the Avenger. I like other aspects including it's weight. I need to make it a new stock and maybe I'll like it more. But it will still be long. There is an Avenge X bullpup but it cocks in the rear. It has an externally adjustable regulator which is nice but changing an internal one is not really that hard. My favorite airguns are my 3 SPA P35. Snowpeak (SPA) makes the Notos and also the P35. A Stoeger Bullshark is almost the same gun as the P35. If you want a 25 I would go for the P35X (Krale) since it has a much larger plenum and I think uo will want that for a 25. The only thing I don't like about the bullshark is the weight of the stock. It drives the weight of the gun up to 6 lbs, the P35 weighs 5. These are light accurate regulated guns for under $500.
It does not need to be a P35 but I strongly recommend you look hard at the under $500 airguns. There is at least one thread on that subject here. I do not believe the higher priced guns offer enough over the cheaper ones to justify their price. Everybody is entitled to their opinion on this and I may still buy more higher priced guns. But I will always keep my P35-22 and probably the other two too. I might give away my P35-25 to one of the kids but if I do I will get a P35X to replace it. My less expensive airguns are reliable, accurate, light, and the P35s are compact. No reason to suggest anybody would "cry" if they owned them. I think higher prices guns are at least generally better, just not enough better to justify 3 times the price or more. Under $500 guns are pretty darned good.
You need to consider your wife's input but I would recommend the same thing if you had no budgetary constraint. I have no wife and I have enough money I can buy any airgun I want comfortably. Budget is not the reason I have purchased mainly less expensive airguns. Now I own a more expensive airgun and it has not changed my opinion even a little. I think more expensive guns are nicer but not really enough nicer to justify their price. I see no hard dollar reason to spend the extra money. It's nice having nice things but lower priced airguns are really quite nice.

With FX releasing a new model every 6-12 months, there is no such thing as BUY ONCE CRY ONCE.
Buy what will fulfill your wants/needs today. If perhaps tomorrow your wants/needs change, then rinse and repeat. Hardly anything in life is static.

You said nothing but truth!
Many start off with a budget gun and progress upward in quality at the behest of skepticism. Others may jump in "head first" and figure they're done.
No matter what, there's gonna be something we gotta have in the future.
Manufacturers like FX don't make it easy on us....
