I still have a multi pump .22 and a broken 5mm Sheridan. I may get a .25 (gas) springer someday. I can't see getting a PCP. My nephew has one and loves it but it was expensive, heavy and the pellets are expensive too. I have a Remington .22 pump. It's light, holds 15(?) Rounds, with the long barrel shooting CBs it's just as quiet and it has as much power and more without spending big $, plus bottles, pumps etc.
I'm not knocking anymore, I'm sure there are some advantages. It's probably like me spending $200 going out on my boat, spend a day to catch $40 worth of fish. Or buying an expensive metal detector and a lot of time and gasoline. We pick our battles and our hobbies.
I'd really like to find an inexpensive.32, .36 black powder rifle. At least I can cast the bullets and even make the powder.
