I bet they all shut up when you get same results with your £300 springers compare to their -anything upto- £1500 PCP's ??????????? Edited December 31, 2013 by Skot Ruthless Teale 1 Quote Link to post

mushroom 13,979 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Always have used a springer prefer them mate.. They have the added weight for smashing the animals faces in more effectively 1 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,589 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm a spring rifle man 100%. I've bought a PCP for the pleasure of faster-reloading multi-shot shooting but, I can match any PCP with my spring rifles and my hunting will still be carried out with my trusted, faithful, spring-powered hunting companions. Anyone who still thinks PCPs are the be-all and end-all of accurate hunting has, honestly, a lot to learn about skilled marksmanship with an air rifle Pianoman. 3 Quote Link to post
