Knowing what I know now if I could change anything from my airgun past would I?

[PasadenaMike]

Knowing what I know now if I could change anything from my airgun past would I? HECK NO!! Doing everything I’ve done has led me to learn what my likes and dislikes are. The well over 50+ air guns, several compressors, ton of ammo and just stuff that have come and gone have all taught me what my likes and dislikes are and have shaped me into this picky dude that won’t get fooled by any manufacturer anymore. I’ll listen to Dana , Terry and Marley and that’s it.

Get into PCP airguns sooner!

I just wish I would’ve got into the hobby about 10 years ago. By now I would probably have an EVOL. Yes, a Paradigm Walnut stock

That sounds about right, -from experience.

 

[Peskådot671]

I totally agree. I started off with what I could afford at the time and I don't regret it. Made some moves to start off my career and put me in a better place financially.

I'd have been enjoying some classics sooner like my Discovery, Marauder, HW50S and the FWB-124D I have at the gunsmith. I'd also have known not to buy a Gamo Whatever.

Yeah, me too, wish I had started sooner, but I probably still would not be looking at $2,000. Guns. Maybe $1,200. - $1,500. The price of compressors held me back for a long time, and I did not want to mess with water cooled ones. When they came out with so many portable air-cooled ones and the price came down, that is when I was ready to make the jump. I would have liked the one that runs off an 18V rechargeable battery, but either I did not know about it or they didn't have it out yet at the time that I got mine.

I wish I knew about pcps 15 years ago when I actually had time to hunt like all the time. All I knew were crappy break barrels and 392s .

Big 5 guns are a sure way to make you hate airguns

 

[Mike Brown]

I wish that I'd gone ahead and purchased a Benjamin Discovery kit when they first came out instead of waiting so many years to get into PCP's. May have saved me a bit of money but sacrificed a lot of fun.

 

[Danman]

Knowing from what I learned from you guys I will spring for a decent compressor out of the gate when I finally do get one. It won't be as flashy or fun as my pcps but it will mean I can shoot em more often! I stuck with a springer from a 10 year old to now and will probably never sell the 2 I currently have. I also am glad I held off on pcps and got a pair of really good ones once i took the plunge, ie the coinage was avaliable. Now I can spend a bit.... OK its been alot

I would have kept my first PCP. I had an early model unregulated Royale 400 walnut. I’d like to have that rifle still.

Yeah that seems to have been a great rifle

The breech o ring was the only thing that needed replacement with heavy use. That rifle loved 18gr JSB’s.

Hopefully, we made him laugh. It is the best medicine and a gift.
