What was your first PCP?

A .22 Marauder (Synrod). I learned how to tune with this gun, and it brought me my first competition win. Today it sports a hammer forged barrel and a lightweight air tube along with a TSS and a MDS hammer. It's tuned for 30 shots (3 mags) at 31 FPE within a 2% ES. It's an awesome little shooter.

I came across ted’s holdover YouTube videos many years ago and got very interested in pcp airguns. Don’t recall knowing anything about pcp’s before seeing his videos. Ended up getting a marauder (synrod) in .22 for my first pcp. Did not shoot well at all, shotgun scatter at 20 yards with anything I tried. I ended up buying a marauder in .25 cal shortly after and loved it, then a p-rod. I ended up replacing the barrel on my .22 synrod and it became a tack driver. Awesome rifles and I would still recommend them to anyone wanting to get into the sport

My first PCP gun was a Gen 1 Marauder, .177, purchased new from Pyramyd Air in 2014. Being the only PCP I had until 2021, I've done some stuff to it. It now has a LW barrel, some hammer works upgrades, a RAW trigger blade, billet aluminum trigger guard and finally, a Williams peep sight and Gehmann adjustable Iris (and a self designed, 3D printed front sight). It still gets a lot of action around the yard.
