Introductions Hello from Central Georgia

You both are correct. Prices for quality have come down as competition increases. I was just trying to make a point about the horizon a new shooter should look for. Your points are well taken in either case, but there used to be huge gaps in quality. I stand corrected.

You most likely are correct. I have only been in it for a Year and a Half. I still see differences in brands so that's why I now read alot before any purchase.

Thank you for the support! I meant no harm.

Absolutely, many early low cost PCP were junk right out of the box.

That changed wirh the Umarex Gauntlet. Low cost and still one of the more powerful small bore on the market. It is long, it is heavy and over 100FPE in .30.

It has been a race ever since. Adding features and quality at the low and mid priced end without real increases in price Incremental improvements with a sometimes substantial price tag at the high end.

Another good point! I come at this as a new pcp participant and I didn't find much middle ground when it came to a new person to this world. You could rely on established products that cost a lot, but performed or rely on later entries. I went with the establishment. You guys are experienced, but I wasn't. So to the newby guy, I say go with what has been proven. What follows is great, but you don't know that getting into the sport. That's all I was sayin.

I have to agree, My JTS at only about $320 or so has held up well, is very accurate for backyard shooting. You won't get many of the things like High Power, but overall, I have no complaints.

That's a great rifle man! Very accurate.
