At one time I was into PCP guns and still have about 6, however without a close place to fill my scuba tank and no longer owning a compressor and can not hand pump over than about 1800 lbs I'd be more than happy to trade em all off for good break barrel and CO2 quality guns. Just getting to much trouble to now enjoy anything PCP. Getting older ain't all fun sometimes:) Charles

Fat kids, skinny kids, kids that climb on rocks...
Tough kids, sissy kids, even kids with chicken pox...
No wait, that's hotdogs..
The point is, I like shooting them all. I go through moods and shoot each type for a few days then switch it up.

True that.... matter of fact, if you go into my shooting shed right now there are 3 different types on the bench.

Mr pcp just shot his 880 in the back yard a bit

I shoot em all. If it slings a projectile, I like it.

I have several PCPs and they get the most mileage on them especially for hunting or pesting.
A few CO2s which I don't shoot outdoors much when the temps are below 70.
I love keeping my D34 177 and Summit Ranger in the rotation. I really enjoy shooting them. I don't shoot them much in sub freezing temps because I don't want to wear gloves.
MSPs are very meh for me. The only one I enjoy shooting is my Blue Streak.

Wanted to amend this as I left out my 880. Other than loading a pellet That one is a lot of fun too.

I use them all - springers - multipumps - pcps - and powder burners. Depends on how much time I have and where I am at. PCPs and powder burners I save for out at the farm and I shoot the lighter springer’s and multi pumps when I’m in town. I even went so far as to set up a range in the house for a P17 and a CMP Daisy 853 for when the weathers bad and I want some trigger time.

I shoot over levers, under levers and break barrel as well as PCP.My Hatsan #25 vortex is just as accurate as my Beeman 2027.

I shoot in accordance with MY mood, if I'm lazy..I shoot my pcps/hpas otherwise I'll shoot my springers and pumpers. Lazy days are far apart so I go for my pumpers and springers 👈🏽😜

I've had my prod for over a year....favorite pcp gun. I bought a Diana Bandit to have a .177 PCP. after 8 months it seems the check valve is stuck, it will no longer take air. kinda bums me out on pcp now

I have no use for nor interest in any sort of spring or gas spring break barrel "air" gun. I still use my 392 rifles and occasionally my old Crosman 140.

smythsg · « **Reply #33 on:** March 26, 2023, 09:12:19 AM »

No more break barrels, but I do find myself enjoying the lower power CO2 (XS60c) and PCP (Umarex Notos) guns more than the high power PCPs. I sold my AEA .30 cal and keeping my Airforce Escape, but have put the .22 barrel back in and detuned it for more shots and less noise. I guess at 71 years of age, I'm losing my need for speed...

Back_Roads · « **Reply #34 on:** March 26, 2023, 09:19:17 AM »

I shoot em all, but gravitate to PCP, Pumpers CO2, but have been converting them to HPA, and them springers can sit at the ready , and I do shoot one at lest weekly or I forget how to hold em.
I do shoot springers more than big bores

StockClassDD68 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 26, 2023, 09:26:27 AM »

Sort of. . . I own tons of PCP guns, a couple multi-pump crosmans (not unlike PCP guns) and one springer. I only shoot the PCPs and multi-pumps. The springer just sits there and gathers dust unfortunately.

I also jumped in the pcp rabit hole in december of this year but still have my
weihrauch hw80 in 22 fac model and it is also a real joy to shoot.Dont have to
ever worry about air but the pcp is nice because of the minimal recoil its so much
better to maintain good pinpoint accuracy.Im useing a hill mk5 pro hand pump
and it works great for what i need to do.I may go to a 100 cu ft steel 3442 psi
tank and slow valve as i have heard way to many horror stories about the little
oil less and water les chinese electric pumps breaking down for me i can fill my
tank and i will have air for a whole year.I will put a slow din valve and micro boar
hose on as well

PasadenaMike · « **Reply #37 on:** March 26, 2023, 11:01:35 AM »

Hmmm 🤔 I wonder how you convert a Beeman R7 to a pcp?

PCPBarry · « **Reply #38 on:** March 26, 2023, 11:05:36 AM »

I had a crosman BB/177pellet gun as a teenager and had fun shooting it but accuracy was poor. Then I deer and elk hunted for 45 years. I didn't know much about springers, nitro piston, etc. except that every one I tried has a terrible trigger and was loud. Once I found out about PCP's I bought a Marauder for the quiet, the awesome trigger, and the accuracy. I need to be able to "get away with it" on my property. The neighbors don't need to know and now I can discreetly dispatch that tree squirrel that drops a dozen almonds off my tree a day in September. The rest of the time I target practice and tune and pump and repeat. I'm still chasing the best shot string I can get out of my non regulated PCP.

This is actually a pretty easy fix. The "check valve" is just a screw and an oring. The gun should have come with a spare, but Wes at https://airgunarcheryfun.ca/ can get you more if you need them.
