    Ok, i wanna buy a PCP

    Just a shout out there that I have looked at them all, from $119 to $2499 and I am missing something! Well I am. I thought I wanted an expensive PCP rifle next, but how does the price reflect actual performance? We watched and read Bob take an innocent pcp and turn it into an efficient monster. Lothar Wather barrels to improve grouping, and certain pellet types to create a consistency. I am not gonna name certain companies but the one I am looking at boasts the magnum of pcp's.... If I want the highest fpe I will start turning the VA knob CW on the Qb78. Friggin thing is a monster! If I wanna play sonic games... preload the hammer a lil more on the Hatsan! So... yes I am looking to buy my next PCP rifle and it has become confusing cause I am going for looks along with the specs! I am no different than the next guy that wants to send a heavy weight pellet at 1000+ FPS but have any of ya looked at what that costs in a box?
    Thanks for reading my rant..lol.

    Cheapest way to big power is a Condor....

    Confusing wanting to move to the next level. The Condor is only available in single shot, and the Marauder seems not available.

    What about the BT65 in .25 cal?

    With a little valve stem thinning/hammer spring adjustment, they can produce some big power - AND, they are multi-shot.

    Just a thought...

    I hear ya.

    I'm kinda having the same dilema - I want a .25 cal, but which one??? For roughly the same cost of a new .25 rifle, I can upgrade both my 2260 HPA "Frankengun" to .25 cal (BNM breech, LW barrel), and my .177 AR2078 HPA to .22 cal (LW barrel, new bolt). Then, when income tax return arrives in the spring, I will (hopefully) get an AR-20 FT for the FT shoots. Well...that's the plan, anyways!

    Good luck with your decision-making process! Let us know what you end up with!

    So, my search for a new pcp airgun is finished. I decided to make a project... another QB78! This time regulated using a hpa tank. Got a few interesting ideas and hope to share the progress.
