springer or pcp

[boots 7]

thinking of getting a rifle but dont no what to go for any info would be great

[b53hunt 15]

pcp all the way

Both have pro's and cons and it really is a personal thing.

 

If you start off with a springer and learn to shoot it accurately, you are always ready to go and the power source is combined in the gun. With a PCP you also need to buy charging equipment as well.

Springer for me. Did a bit of springer shooting in my youth then went for shots rims and centre fire.

Its gone full circle for me as i've gone mad for springers over the last year.

My ambition is to become a good springer shot.

PCP, I became lazy over the last few years and now like the easy life

[19powell90 89]

its an annoying decision as it depends on what you are like

 

e.g. you might go out and buy a springer as its a cheaper set-up than pcp but then you might want to improve hunting situations i.e. multishot magazines, quietness, no recoil etc. and then go out and buy a pcp which will in the end cost more.

 

decision is up to you!

well the thing is i dont want to by twice so i will go and try and see some and hopefully do the right ting its bad [bANNED TEXT] you have to ask others to make your mind up

[Phantom 631]

It's bad to ask someone to make up your mind, but its a bloody good idea to ask for peoples advice

 

Best thing to do, is if you have an airgun club closeish by, pay them a visit.

Air gunners are usually very friendly and will let you try out their guns, giving you both the pros and con's of each rifle. Much more infor than a gunshop will do to a newbie.

 

Another bonus is that you will get to try many of both types and pehaps even find the one that fit's you best! And fit is very important to a shooter. especially if your long armed or short armed (tall, short or mr average).

 

Overall though it is purely a personal decision

Spring rifle.

 

Anyone can whack a 50-metre bullseye with a PCP, but the skill and knowledge behind shooting it lies in correct shooting technique.

 

And only a springer will teach you that

[ferreting1888 7]

piano man thats a shit post mate.

ive had springers before and id say theres not that much difference. but the pcp is better i think because you have multishot and is quieter shooting wise

anyone can hit a bullseye with a springer.

the guys asking info and your giving none whatsoever

boots i would do what the other guys said which is go and have a look at guns but i personally think pcp is the way to go if you have a the funds
