This new PCP may or may not shoot as good as it looks. However, it sure looks good for $200:

Makes me wonder about using it for parts to make something else....

It looks better when you get it for $168 and even much better for $189 + 2 extra mags shipped.

HeeHee
Yep...
Wonder what OTHER name brand will put these out too.
I'm moving this thread to the PCP Gate.
And for the price, the quality is excellent. Especially for a Chinese PCP.

Heck Dave... I'm still waiting for the GAMO 880 pumper.
Crosman already got the Red Ryder and called it a Sheridan.

We all know the truth.

Hopefully a ~~SPA~~ Diana pistol will be released soon. I need another PP700, only in .22. And the ~~PR900W~~ Stormrider would make a great companion for my current PP700.

Too bad it's Chinese.
If it wasn't I would get one.

And let's not forget the MRodair Varmint.

LOL.... wonder how many closet Varmint owners we'll have before it's over.

Looks like them lil' Chinese dudes are pretty sharp huh? They sold them to everyone and told them to call them whatever they wanted.
Nothing new.... look at GM.

I am a PCP virgin. Know absolutely nothing about them.
Would this be a good "try it out gun" ? without spending a lot of money ? Buy the gun and a hand pump ?
Would probably make this my hunter gun ?
Anybody own one ? what about accuracy ?
Thanks

We have a thread on the MRodAir Varmint going, a couple of them matter of fact. Same airgun. I bought the .22 and was so impressed at the quality and accuracy I bought the .177 also. They are powerful enough and extremely accurate to be good hunters. I just enjoy shooting them!!!

avator · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2017, 09:44:41 AM »

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes. This little gun will amaze you. And if you have problems. Jump on your bicycle and ride over to my house. I'm in Luverene bout 30 minutes east of Greenville.

jusanothajoe the Varmint is a great hunting gun, plenty of power. The very first kill I had with mine was a Groundhog. If you plan on using a hand pump it's not a whole lotta work because it's not a huge air tube on this gun. I've topped mine off a couple of times when I got carried away plinking when I was out hunting.

YES! A $169.00 Varmint (same rifle, just $30 cheaper) and a $60.00 Walmart Hand Pump, and you are on your way down the Rabbit Hole!

I see AGD has also jumped on the StormRider wagon.

FuzzyGrub · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2017, 11:53:51 AM »

Curious, the Diana at the top of the thread looks to have enough room to add a shroud, but Wayne's pic looks to have a tighter gap between barrel and airtube. Is that a change in design? or artifact of Wayne's pic?

Has someone (David?) already fitted it with a shroud/baffles?

I think you're seeing an illusion. They're the same.

Has anyone tried this pump? I have bicycle pumps that cost way more than that....wonder what the quality is.

FuzzyGrub · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2017, 12:22:11 PM »

Does anyone have the barrel OD and the gap distance?
