Hi

Ive been airgunning for a few years now with a springer and ive decided to upgrade to a PCP, I was wondereing what could i get in the price range? New or second hand? not bothered, Also could compressor be used to fill up the air tank? would i need to get any other adaptors for it?

 

cheers

you can fill it from a divers bottle or use a stirrup pump.........a standard compressor WILL NOT be suitable as it will not reach the required pressure of 200 bar.

 

as for the gun........you will be able to get a decent seccond PCP for that kind of money or even new depending on what you want....multishot etc.

 

visit your local gun shop and try a few for size...as people will reccomend certain guns that may not "fit" you.

 

and any filling adatptors will come the the gun.

 

hope this helps for now.

 

good luck and all the best

get yourself down to your nearest gun shop and shoulder a few, its not until you knoe how they feel that you can make a decision

 

you should be able to get a decent gun for the money you are talking

[jamie g 17]

get 12ltr 300 bar bottle for 200 pound new from deepblue sea centre they post it for that to im sure.

 

then get a nice secondhand pcp with scop,mod,sling and bag air arms s400 or a 410 if you can add abit more money.

 

if not get gun and bottle secondhand

 

ive had 3 s410k. a mk1 rapid in 22, a mk 2 rapid in both 22 and 177

 

a daystate harrier, and the best of all a stalker fac jb tuned s10 which could put 10 shots into a 5 pence peace at 50 yards ! . all the above rifles acurate as each other in 12 ftlb form

 

like what has been said you need to try them all and see which fits you best.
