What to try to get next?

[rangur1]

Since getting pummeled currently with bidenomics. Decisions become more difficult with resale being more challenging, but that's another issue. I personally desire another gun or two, who doesn't? I know. but also desire another great white tank and an Alkin compressor. Question is, which is next? I could get an Alkin from pyramid on affirm for a year. same for the guns, the great white doesn't have that option. I can only do 1 of these this year obviously, what would be your choice? No right or wrong, just your opinion and reasons.

What do you currently have for an air source? Air security, for me is a big deal.

Scotty brings up a good point. Air security was one of the first priorities that I sorted. Got a handpump and then quickly realized that I shoot way too much to rely on just a pump.

So I invested in a Yong Hong, then a Spark. Then I picked up a SCBA. I finished off my air supply with a Shoebox. Now I can go just about anywhere and have an air source that will meet the demand.

And I also have two handpumps as backup, just in case there's any shenanigans.

Alkin gets my vote.
It initially seems less exciting than a new gun but there is something to be said about total air security - that is, knowing you have air and also knowing that it's quick, reliable and as pure and dry as it gets- and the life it breathes into your enjoyment of all the guns you already have.

Alkin gets my vote too. My next major HPA purchase will be one, just bidding my time and saving up.

If there is no dive shop anywhere near I would cultivate a relationship with the local fire dept. They have massive compressors and more clean, dry 4500 psi air than they know what to do with. The firemen are a friendly lot and try to keep the public happy. Works for me.

I find myself somewhat in a similar position. I just picked up a Marauder in .25, and a bundle of pellets including several tins of .22 that will sit for a bit until I get a .22 rifle. But I need a pump, optic, and mount for the Marauder still, so I’m trying to still myself a bit. I COULD get a .22 springer and get right to shooting, or I can save and get a compressor and optic for the Marauder.

A fun as a new gun is, I’m kind of leaning towards the compressor and optic. I want to be self sufficient in case the economy keeps tanking.

Lots of folks face the same battle with firearms. Chasing the latest/greatest gun, or buying ammo and gear to get yourself completely set up. I continue to lean more towards having everything in useable condition before adding new toys.

Ooor....you could get a handpump, a springer, and an optic. Then save up a little for your compressor.

@ Rangur1- get the Alkin. Ask anyone I’ve talked into buying one(and accused me of being an enabler, lol”) and they all in time contact me and say it’s the best decision/investment they’ve ever made towards this hobby, and end it with a “thank you”.
Seems PA is now a dealer and may have the best package pricing.
