StevoSmith 147 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I love springers and like i have said i have never owned a pcp......i went and brought another TX200 today lol thats how much i love em...i now have 2 but want to maybe swap 1 for pcp to see what all the fuss is about....i doubt very much i will ever sell my other springers(infact i know i never will)But the feel of a springer and the recoil even if its not a shoulder thumping recoil is summit i love.A pcp will obviously never give you this feeling and i guess you would feel seperated from from the quarry and rifle.Like has been said the stalking up close with a springer and trying(lol) to cock and load in total silence is summit to behold...more so when you send every living critter within 50yds running for cover.......you learn to do this with practice as you have no choice lol.I can easyly do this now and even sometimes creep a bit closer before taking the shot.Either way i will one day get round to owning a pcp and maybe my mind will be changed(but i doubt it)...i would still like to have one in my cabinet though Quote Link to post

gurtwurz 792 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 can somebody tell me if there is any weight difference in the s410 .177 and .22 calibers cheers yep, the .22's pellets weigh more i gotta admit, since i got my eye in with the '95 i havent used the hw100 that much at all, i just love the feel of the springer, and the simplicity of chuckin some pellets in me pouch and going out for a mooch with it- just classic hunting for the sheer crack of it- ing ace!!! cheers, wurz Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 hi steve, i'm a little scepticle about shots at 50yrds plus with an smk springer. i'm afraid i'd have to see that to believe it. i'm not calling you a liar, but it's hard to believe. Aaron. Quote Link to post

Aaron. Hey aaron, I have to jump in here as I have witnessed steve take a clean headshot with a gamo underlever at 45yds, as im sure he has me, if steve says he has done nearly the same with his smk I am inclined to beleve him, but as you say mate seeing is beleving, I just happen to have saw it .atb. .ste.

masmiffy 82 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I went from a BSA Airsporter to a Titan Manitou (PCP) dont think I would go back to springers. I am sure they have changed loads since the Airsporter tho? As for price once again we shooters get ripped off. Ammo guns boots clothing. Mention hunting and the price doubles!!! Mind been tempted to get my FAC sorted cos have been offered a spanking new 'out of the box' CZ452 17HMR Varmint for £285 Quote Link to post

rossi_j 99 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I love a good gun, spring or pre, any caliber as long as iv had a bit of practace with it and adjusted my shooting style accordingly, it dosent even have to be a top make as long as accuracy is there and 10ftlb + Just my two pence lol And no gun is worth hassle if it keeps being a pain in the backside get rid Just my opinion feel free to slam me on it. Guess what im saying is when times are hard I will make do with what I can afford. .atb. .ste. Quote Link to post
