PCP What air gun do you Most Regret buying?

[JimT66]

We all have had at least one. We'll, most all of us anyway. Didn't have to be a "Bad" one, just not what you thought, or no better than you thought the step up should have been. I will fess up, mine is my .25 Raider. Holds air, shoots hard and straight when zero scope. But. Even putting it in the rack, and taking it out the next day, chances are great you gonna have to re zero the scope. Seems to be a major issue with the plastic breach.

My Evol. It had some niggling issues that prompted me to leave it stowed for months at a time. It sat up longer than I shot it. I ended up buying more guns that I shot more a lot more than I did my Evol. It still sits. I know people don't want to hear or believe it, but it's the truth.

Biggest regret ——nah we won’t go there

A Baikal .22 breakbarrel. Pellets would sometimes fall down the barrel. When it got stolen, it wasn't a lose.

You should chime in, as you’ve own quite a few PCPs. Your opinions can probably save others a bad experience…

I say , because of the awesome talented members here in HAM sharing there experience with many models,
I have made solid choices in my air gun purchases, regretting nothing.

Maybe the Crossman Nitro Piston? Mine weren't that accurate-I owned one in .177 and one in .22. Used the .22 to kill a skunk once that was harassing my bee hives though. Kept it as a behind the door gun.

Quite frankly mine is a 177 red wolf. Its not that it shoots bad or anything i just have no faith in electronic guns! And I don’t know how to fix them if there is a problem. I'llstick to mechanical.

 

[Madeintheuk]

Almost every FX I’ve owned except my wildcat mk2. That’s probably because I had Augie sotello go over it with a fine tooth comb though. He has magic fingers when it comes to those wildcats. The impacts and mavericks I owned were all garbage though. Put me off the brand all together.

@PapaT Try not to let some of our personal experiences deter you from trying certain airguns without reading contrasting accounts. If all that you can find are accounts substantiating what you read in a thread like this, then I think that is definitely something to pay attention to.

But I'm using it to deter me.

I had two ! But if I have to do one , then it would be the Gauntlet II . Never could get a good trigger w/o sacrificing the safety & degassing all the time to adjust it, along w/ the hard bolt ( arthritic hand ). I never did get the feel for the stock design.
