Do you want to be a hostage to an air supply?

But Funny too. Mike does make a valid point. But, just the thought of cranking over the barrel (can be a strain to do) then fiddling with trying to load a pellet, now back to fiddling with the barrel again, all so you can take one shot. Now that that's done, you gotta start all over again with that hard to break-over barrel and pellet fiddling just to take another shot. You can lose your concentration on what is was you were thinking of doing in the group. Not to mention the double recoil the gun has. I know lots of shooters don't mind all of that, or at least are able to cope with it. It's just not for me and others like me. With PCPs, bam, bam, bam (fun, fun, fun) without all of that fiddling with the gun for many shots, plus the tuning capabilities for different loads and needs with PCPs.

Both rifles are proven workhorses.
