New Member here...... I am 15 miles SE of Sacramento in N. CA.

Began shooting with a Benjamin Franklin Pump BB rifle in 1960, transitioned to a powder-burner in 1964 with a Win Model 62A. From time-to-time I shoot a Benjamin Pump .22 Cal Rifle I purchased some years ago, amazing power. I shoot and reload many centerfire calibers from .17 Rem to 45-70 Govt. But, still very much enjoy Air Rifle shooting and hunting. Some months ago I was exposed to the PCP type of Air Rifle. I was very much impressed with the power and soft-report they produced. So... I began my normal research into what I believed was a good starting system for me and after wearing myself out with all manner of Data...I purchased a Benjamin PCP System in .25 cal and an 18 Q-Ft Charging-Tank.

I look forward to meeting people who shoot PCP Rifles and maybe learn a thing tor two.

@SPARATORE Welcome to the forums. You seem familiar as if you’ve been here before. I had to look up a “Benjamin Franklin” airgun. You’re the second person I’ve seen mention one here lately and I’m not used to seeing them referred to as such. I guess that’s what Benjamin Airguns were called decades ago. Anyhow welcome aboard again.

Welcome Sparatore, glad to have you here. Agree, power, low recoil and accuracy make PCPs really something. Be careful, they're very addicting, too. WM

Welcome to the party sparatore.

A lot of Danish flavor in your choosen NIC

SPAR is a chain of grocery stores here, and Tone is a extremely rare name used in Denmark, but about 15.000 Norwegians have that name, it is actually a girl name derived from the name Thor, which in these Marvel days need no introduction.

A very old Benjamin Franklin BB Rifle not functioning any longer. And, a Model 392PA .22 pellet.

Cool, what's your shooting style? targets, plinking at cans, light critter hunting?

 

[Peashooter]

Va bene va bene,,,,,,, my Italian like a handful other languages are quite hit and miss a lot, the perils of a brain that run its own show when it come to languages.
I learned speaking English and German before i got it in school back in the 70ties, learning to write both came much later and i still cant write much German but i read it fine.
