Well, I did it!, bought a PCP air gun.

I grabbed the air avenger for 189. Not a bad toy. Getting 110 shots on one charge running the 14-16g at 886 fps. Perfect critter getter.

I picked up a Gamo Urban 2 years ago for gray squirrel control. Pokes em in the eyeball at 30 yards.
Sadly I have developed an air leak in the charging port and finding the right size o ring has been frustrating. I'm fairly certain it's metric so I picked up a set of metric and SAE o ring kits. The metric set lessened the leak but it's still not the right size. It was suggested by a you tuber to contact Daisy as Gamo owns Daisy and they might be able to tell me the proper size. The exploded diagram states what number o ring I need but doesn't say what size it actually is . I sent them an email asking for help, hopefully I'll hear back before squirrel season starts up again
Currently using a hand pump because I couldn't justify the expense of a compressor... Yet.

I have had good luck with these, have them on both my Hatsan vortex rifles, but both are .22 not .25.

I have the 130 QE vortex and the 95. Both are tack drivers and have held zero well for me.

Only 70$ current on Amazon.

You can also do an internet search for "Captain O-ring", which likely will lead you to eBay and/or Amazon. Cptn. O-ring sells o-ring kits for many popular PCP's, you might be able to get a kit easily and do a full re-seal.

Is it possible for you to tell us how “quiet” your new Hatsan 135 is? I’m looking at modifying an indoor range sound proofing. The old sound proofing has deteriorated which was a foam shaped like an egg carton. I know it hard to describe but thought I would ask.

Well, I did it again.
I ordered a Beeman under lever in .22
Wood stock looks nice from the picture and the price was about $250.00, seemed like an unreal price for a PCP to me.
Hopefully I cand use my Hatsan air pump with it. I haven't been able to justify a compressor when I can use the exercise a hand pump can give me, hell, I'm only 71.
Air Gun Depot sent me a coupon for free shipping and 10% off, so shipped to my door is only $240.00, I am weak, I couldn't pass it up. Besides I get free steel little animal targets that are normally $10 with it.

The Beeman underlever is on backorder, I don't know when I will get it.
Simple solution, I gist ordered a Beeman PCP pistol in .177 that they list as "in stock" plus it also comes with the steel animal targets.
Hopefully my little hand pump and me will get a good workout!

I received the air pistol yesterday.
Pretty easy to pump up with the hand pump.
Tried it out in backyard, I could see the pellets flying to the target.
I cranked in the adjustment screw a few turns, and I can no longer see the pellets fly.
For a less than $200 PCP pistol, it seems pretty awesome.
