Your favorite .30 PCP?

Another vote for the Boss. Tack driver. Quiet as a mouse with the Huggett.

another vote for the R5 std... solid, short and unexpectedly quiet... single shot, which I prefer in a .30 ...not easy to get a hold on though

I'll be the oddball here, I only own on .30, an Ataman M2R in a sexy Jatoba Cherry stock. It's an absolute tack driver, destroys woodchucks with PolyMags, farthest shot was ~120 yards, smoked him. It's heavy and long, so it's certainly not an offhand gun but is perfect for the Caldwell shooting chair relaxing while I wait for them to pop out of their holes.

My Favorite at the moment is my .308 Texan SS, shooting 44.75 gr JSB's....playing around with some tuning for accuracy and shot count....early on, seems to be power wheel set between 1 an 2 hash marks, fill 2400 to 1800 psi...@ 50 yds 3/4 to inch groups

Shot count: 20
Low: 960

R5 Long

Second the boss, with a few tweaks it's doing close to 80fpe for 40+ shots, have had it for 6 years and only problem is a leaky regulator which is easily repaired. I like them as they come, no adjustments, no knobs to fiddle with, just fill to 250 bar and go shoot.

I'm liking my Ken Hicks tuned 700mm Impact II in .30 cal quite a bit. Lots of shots at 89 FPE, and dead on the money, LOL.

RAW, Daystate red wolf, AAA evol

 

[Kdog]

I have 2 .30s a FX Boss with custom BR stock and a RAW HM1000x. They both shoot equally well. The Boss is quieter.

My all time favorite is my .30 Impact. Started life as a gen1 and has been upgraded along the way. Someday it'll even get the Power Plenum upgrade. It's an absolute tac driver. It's thirsty tho. Flinging heavy slugs these days, in the 110fpe range.

Next up would be my .177 Edgun R5M Long. Also a tac driver out to 75yds. I can charge it, throw it in it's bag and shoot the heck out of it w/o worrying I'll run out of air. Easy 10 mags on a charge. What I don't like about the edgun is the magazine, unlike the Impact and many other guns it will let you chamber nothing and empty fire if you haven't counted to ten properly. Also, not a fan of the Edmu gauge. It's built like a tank, quite heavy, but is a stellar performer.

I think my next gun will be the SK-19 in .25

 

[Rob_in_NC]

that's a tough one... favorite is subject to whim at the time. Some standouts

.30 Cricket conversion by Mr. D. Wall... elegant and refined... lights out accurate.

.32 Haley conversion. One of his very firsts so is VERY rough. In for repairs right now.

.30 Boss. For all the reasons stated by others

.DAQ 308.... once I found the proper bullet, it does great

.30 M10 conversion by me with a Ruger Archangle stock. Just because it looks cool

Then there are a few .35/36's but will leave it at the above

 

[cmatera]

The top picks seem to be the Boss and the Edgun Matador R5M. I already have an LCS SK19 in .25. The number of yeahs for the Boss surprised me. I don't know how that one got past my radar.

 

[Glem.Chally]

I have a Boss but never shot it in .30 fantastic platform as said above wonderful trigger and dead nuts reliable. If im following the rules i guess the impact for me. I'll shoot it in .30 more once the high speed machine NSAs get to Canada. Hit 133fpe with some cast slugs can't wait to have it slinging NSA.

The Boss is what I imagine to be a sniper rifle. It's big, heavy, long, but super delicate/tunable trigger, super quiet with the right moderator, and very accurate. There aren't that many rifles that, no matter what I aim at, I hit it with precision. In contrast, my Leshiy takes a lot of work to hit what I aim at. I realize so much of this is subjective and depends on the skill of the shooter, the ergos of the rifle, the tuning of the rifle, the length of the barrel, the pellet type, etc. etc. But I feel like the Boss just makes it easy to hit what you aim at. Now, would I want to walk around in the woods all day with it? Don't know b/c I am not a hunter. It's certainly not a backpack rifle!

FX Bobcat

Impact MK2 (700mm)

FX Crown 

DayState Wolverine .303 hi-lite

FX Wildcat MK3 Sniper (700mm)

I would say in the above order...DayState and Crown are about equal....I have the .30 Boss as well but basically consider the Crown the "new" Boss and pretty much the same with the Bobcat....

The RAW is great as well but a bit heavy and loud!!

I have a rainstorm.30 I modded with mild .203 ports, stainless spring cut for free flight, and a magnet to catch the hammer on return. 80-120 ft lb gun but have is set at 94 ft lbs with 50 grain slugs. I get between 14 and 16 shots at this power. Highly accurate so far all the way to 100 yards. Great bargain. Only gripe, I would love 20 shots at that power. I may add a 300 cc tube.
