Okay I retire next year and am asking the wife to surprise me with a PCP. I already have a Benjamin Akela. However, I am going to ask her from one of these and the reason-

AGT Vixen (awesome)

Vulcan 3 700 (power house and accurate)

Kalibrgun Argus 60 (tank!)

BSA R12 CLX Bolt Action Black Pepper Laminates (So accurate it is boring!)

Which one ladies and gentlemen?

Power wise, nothing on that list can touch the Vulcan 3. Vixen maxes out at about 22-24 FPE. BSA is a nice well mannered gun but also has power limitations. The Kalibrgun is also feisty, but may be considered bulky- not by me, but others have commented.
Real question is "what are you going to do?" That will help to narrow this list, all these guns are good- but for very different reasons.

What is it used for? Looking at, feel in the hands, less maintenance, build quality, old school look and handle, plinking, rabbits, squirrel, and hand down to the kids. Justing sending a "poke" out there to see who will defend their pick with valid points. I will get a .22 or .25. if all are available in .25 that's what I will get. I know there are other great guns (FX, Air Force, Raw). So after giving you all my reason for use I will go with BSA. Old school feel (regular rifle with bolt action) very nice to look at and handle, great to keep in the family (keep old school alive) and will plink, get rabbit and squirrel with accuracy, and last a long time with less maintenance. Thanks everyone!

Retiring from the Air Force?
Seems to me the answer is obvious.

But since the obvious choice is not on your list, I would go with the Vulcan.

I was considering, but it was hard to narrow down that list to those riffles. I am not an Officer so unfortunately I have to chose one or I would get all including an Airforce one!

Congratulations! I think the AGT V3 700 will be the ultimate one. Most power, most shots, and non choked barrel for easier slug shooting. Excellent build quality. Another similar one is the Taipan Veteran 2 700, same barrel maybe better trigger.

I agree with you on why the V3, but the classic rifle look won out on why not the V3. The classic rifle just does it for me, after already owning a bullpup.
