I kinda thought the same way when I first got into the pcp game. Grub screws!?But looking at what most consider the more accurate brands, most attach with grub screws (albeit on a thickish barrel). I’ve finally about decided it’s not that important. Dave
Pretty extreme cases there. Don’t drop your gun or leave it in a corner (not sure what brand is that tender) for 3 years. Dave
What brand of pcp has poi shifts from walking in the woods?M4 and pcp airguns are apples and oranges. Dave
Still just broad, general statements. I don’t have a bandit, not familiar with quality of barrel/receiver fit. My prophet has never given a poi shift but I’ve not dropped it. It has rode in a gun rack. Dave
Pretty sure that could happen with any gun. The scope would likely take the worst of it.

The scope would likely take the worst of it.I've dropped an M4 with M68 CCO (Aimpoint red dot) onto concrete from a standing height with no issues. I would expect that to damage the wood on a rifle that has it or a scope if equipped, but action should remain undamaged and shoot exactly as it did before. Paratroopers, like myself, let our gear and guns hit the ground before our feet do. It survives that without an issue. I can't think of a production firearm that couldn't handle that. A parachute landing fall is equivalent to falling from 10' up without anything to slow you down. Would anyone on this forum expect a PCP to survive a 10' fall onto grass/dirt/sand/etc? They should all be designed to handle that, even if the scope doesn't. However, I bet a magnum springer rated scope would handle it.
