PCP What air gun do you Most Regret buying?

break barrels

Especially bad is the Hatsan Carnivore QE 30 caliber break barrel. The barrels really short making it hard to get leverage to get it cocked.

Air Arms EVO 2 and FX Impact M3, both in my estimation were pure rubbish and plagued with issues from day 1. I will say FX tried to help but AA, good luck with parts or repairs!!

Of course (on FX Impact) but my FX King GRS, Dynamic Compact and Hunter Compact are perfection.

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.

I wanted to add somethings about my ,"Bad" Raider .25. It only has the issue when scoped. Using the great set of factory sites, it will split hairs. If your eyes are good anyway. My
eyes ain't good! I'm not blind as a bat, but I sure need a scope past 15 or so yards. Just wanted yall to know, the Raider is not a Bad rifle. Especially for the price. If it had a Barra reciever, it would be a real beast .

My first one!

I have had 3 I regret. All cheap & all Crosman. 1st is the Crosman 1008 repeat air C02 pistol. Rear sight drifts on its on. Seems underpowered too for the claimed fps. The other two were both Crosman 357 (now called Vigilante) C02 revolver. The barrel latch in both didn’t last long. Maybe the new ones are better. Other than those I haven’t regretted any.

You might consider elaborating and not being glib? It may help fellow members avoid similar pitfalls. At some past points you did wax eloquently about “all of them”…

Easy answer, Cold Steel blow gun! The air supply is not reliable and barely adequate, and sometimes just refuses to do the work, leaks and often releases it own gas. The aim is often off, and there is no consistency. It's long, single shot, with a slow loading process and you can't get the ammo just anywhere. You have to shoot it in private places because anyone that sees you using it is going to give you a load of endless grief. Makes a better walking stick than anything else.

On the plus side though it is handy for pushing regulators out of long tubes.

That might just be the funniest comment I’ve ever read! We should have a post that ranks the best responses!

Please don't waste my time

 

[Gr8Recreation]

Please don’t accuse others of wasting “your” time.

 

[SILENT SQUIRREL]

Phew!
What a waste of time this is reading about wasting time

About PCP you have wasted time on or silly comments

Well, I never had a cold steel blow gun, but when in college I bought a plastic one at a gun show, along with several bags of "hunting darts". Many tree rats, chipmunks and birds ran around, and flew, with red and green ended blowing darts hanging off them. I will agree the air supply was leaky and unreliable, along with the accuracy.

break barrels

Break barrels? I love mine . . . just send those neglected babies my way, I'll promise to give them all the love they deserve. I'll even pay the shipping costs. Orv.

Uragan 2 700mm, Carbon Stock, .25 caliber. Most expensive air rifle I have ever owned and it's the least accurate. It's the only air rifle I have owned that has mechanically broken-down (numerous times).

Quality of manufacturing is as good as it gets. Engineering..., not so much.

Crossman 760 that was the first domino and now I am airgun poor because of it, curse you Crossman.
I use to get these ball bearings from work they were some metric size they fit tighter in the barrel than the Daisey's,
I could not get good fps when pumping but if I'd diesel them holy cow I could pick off a squirrel at 25 to 30 YDS.

Thank you for this interesting thread. My story seems a little anemic compared to others,but I regret buying a Beeman AR2078 for my daughter. It's too heavy and what's more, the seals failed right after the return period.

I have a set of replacement seals, but I haven't found my round toit, yet. So it sits, patiently waiting. Meanwhile, my daughter has moved on to other hobbies.

 

[Madhatter]

The Aspen!! My first PCP. It was a good rifle until it started leaking and I couldn't get it to stop. Now it's just a paper weight.

Of the 70 or more airguns I've owned, both PCP, springer, CO2 and whatever, I don't regret buying any of them. Some I liked better than others. Some I bought just to find out for myself if they are really as good as the good people on these forums say they are. Some just to satisfy my curiosity. None were really bad and those that I really didn't care for I sold. It's been a great trip.
