As they say over at GTA, I have gone to the darkside.
Bought my first marauder 2years ago along with a air venturi pump.
The rifle is awesome, but it takes a lot of air to blast out 25 caliber pellets.
I saved and bought an air tank, getting to the fire station when it was convenient for the great local firefighters to fill it started to get to be a pain, so now a compressor sits in my man lair.
Now I have ordered the rifle I should have started with, the regulated 177 caliber marauder with the upgrade of Lothar Walther barrel.
Claims by Pryamyd air are up to 80 shots per fill on the regulator. This rifle would probably need about half as many pumps per shot as the .25, if it was my first PCP, the air tank and compressor might have been farther down the road.
The springers around here are going to get thinned out. The Diana 52 air king is awesome. but cocking it threatens to tear out my rotator cuff.
RWS m94 .22 is a solid airgun, not so hard to cock, but likely to end up elsewhere.
The good ole Anschutz m250? recoilless and Benjamin 342 multipumper will stay.
Of course it's backordered! Hoping to see the long box about the end of March.
