Well I thought this thread was about comparing springers to PCP's and not the plinking equivalent of a game boy.

Young man, I'll have you know that the black index finger was from loading the mag of my 410 and not from the 2 minutes spent behind a van with Davy

I never mentioned your mucky finger

 

Guilty conscience perhaps :sick:

 

I'm not real sure now about attending one of these little doo's

 

Time spent behind vans' dirty fingers, tenderising rabbits and eating Buck's :sick: :sick:

I have a Weihrauch HW 90 mate gas ram and it the best rifle i have had so far and it doesnt run out of gas like a pcp and it just works like a springer and there isn't alot recoil

[jimgt206 108]

one advantage of pcp over my 77k is less recoil enabling you to see the pellet travel . never fired top of the range springer so cant comment on any other

The 77 is a top class springer

There is a lot to be learned on a meet like that I can tell you.

I was thinking in the old fashioned ways and was sharpening knives. Davy just invited the bunnies for a few sips of cider and they quite willingly took their clothes of by themselves. There could even be a non hunting application for this one I think.

To keep the flies of the BBQ' ed meat, all you need to do is to add a heap of polystyrene to the fire just before you are ready to put said meat on it.

Potra loos make great 25 yard targets for the .177 brigade.

No matter how much time and effort one puts into making range targets, people will always end up shooting at can's.

Springers are way to hard work.

Sheep are not an air rifle quarry ( not just in Wales ).But cheap lager is.

Rabbits are near extinction in Wiltshire.

Having spent a few moments behind a van with Davy I can honestly say, that is equipment is smaller but more modern then mine.

 

You can't learn things like that on the internet. It has to be hands on.

That's CLASSIC

 

Now back on track I agree, the 77 IS a Quality piece of kit

Having said that I did find out that his knob was leaking but I think a new ring would get rid of that problem.

For me the only advantage of a PCP over a springer is you can fit night vision to a PCP. But having said that, I'll stick with my springers and lamps.
