Thanks for allowing me to join this information-packed community. I moved to Pennsylvania last year after living in Manhatttan for 15 years, NYC is not the same city it was a decade ago. My GF and I, with our two dogs found a house that fit all our parameters. A large backyard was a must for the dogs and since we have an HOA(what a bunch of BS that whole system is) I can't fire any of my PB's at home, even though we have a 1.5 acre backyard. I've always messed around with air/bb guns, in my early college days in downtown NYC I would shoot break barrels on my apartment buildings roof in lower manhattan, right off wall street. That was going well until I got arrested while I was shooting with two blonde cuties from my college and some disgruntled lady called us in saying we were shooting firearms. This happened well over a decade ago, when amazon would ship pellet guns to the city haha my attorney got everything dismissed and needless to say I wasn't shooting anything for a while
Fast forward 15 years, we moved into the new house and after buying the obligatory firearms(AR15, AK47, 22's, pistols etc.) and I saw a ad for an avenger on one of the gun websites and on a whim just ordered one along with a super cheap Chinese compressor from Amazon.When I received the gun I followed AEC's eco tune, roughly 1500 psi on the reg and just from that simple adjustment it was shooting the 22 cal 15g JSB's in a 1in group at the furthest target in my backyard, which is about 75 yards back from my house. I have shot over 26000 pellets so far and the only issue I had to deal with was tightening the hammer spring a half turn. I loved my avenger/hawk scope combo and never even had the urge to upgrade..... That is until I was checking out the classifieds on AGN and saw a FX Crown green/black laminate stock, 600m superior barrel and huma reg in pristine condition for an extremely low price, so I had to buy it. It arrived today and holy &^^&, I think I literally just stared at it for like the first 15 minutes marveling at the engineering. I had an old amazon scope that I quickly threw on and went out to shoot it at 1130PM and even in the low visibility the thing was a tack driver, I thought my avenger was a tack driver but this thing is on a completely different level. Astounding accuracy, extremely well engineered with excellent build quality I now understand why so many people buy multiple high end airg guns. It reminds me of a couple of my other coveted possessions like my BMW S1000RR bike and my swiss watches, expensive but justified for the quality and workmanship that was put into them.
I may have got a little over zealous in my intro, I am still super excited about receiving the crown today and it probably shows haha, I'll end the rant here, thanks for allowing me to be a part of this amazing community.
