[QUOTE="Bull_Mtn, post: 2152844, member: 105447"] There are some inexpensive PCP airguns on the market today, that will out shoot some of the best Springers. Rick is right, they are very difficult to shoot accurately and very hard on scopes. There are very few scope manufacturers that warrant their scopes for use on a Springer. We have a few guys in our club that have some very high end Springers, that shoot very well. They use them for hunting small game. When it's time to punch holes in paper, they shift back to their PCPs. The PCP rifles require an air source, usually a carbon fiber reinforced tank, that can be filled to 4500 psi. Most PCPs operate at a max of 3000 psi. An entry level, but reasonably accurate PCP airgun costs from $300 to $1000, and can provide thousands of rounds of enjoyable shooting. They can be shot out to 100 yds, which is comparable to 500 yds with most hunting rifles. This is I save precious powder, primers and bullets. I get realistic practice, without recoil, noise or smoke. However, I really do miss that!! [/QUOTE]
