I'd like to say hi to all the air gunners

I have been on THR for a while, and I have owned Daisy 882s and Benjamin 392s, but I have recently jumped to PCP air rifles, and there is no looking back for me. I wont judge others for their choice of air rifle. I am glad there is a following, but for me a quality PCP is worth its money in cost of ammo, shoot-ability, and fun.

Hello back, proud to meet you. Now we'll be needing some words about your PCP and what you're doing with it.

Welcome, enjoy your stay.

It's easy to appreciate the advantages of a PCP airgun, but the simplicity of the spring powered single pump is hard to ignore.

I've had a Sheridan blue streak for over 40 years, I don't see it going away anytime soon. I'm glad you like your PCP and I'm sure I would too but...

Well I got a good shot on a crow at 64 yards the other day, and a few buddies were giving me issues about how a pellet gun (my Benjamin Discovery) would not make it out that far little on kill a crow.
Needless to say as soon as I pulled the trigger, and the feather flew, and the bird went down, straight down. The look on their face was amazing.

gun: .22 Cal Benjamin/Crosman Disover with TKO 5" Muzzle Brake
pellet: JSB 18.1 grain Diablo Jumbo Exact
air pressure at the time of shot: 1600 PSI
scope: Tech Force 4-12x40mm AO with illuminated reticle (green or red) Mil-Dot (never use the illumination. Well not very much.


I have heard a bunch of bad stories about the Tech Force, but mine is right on the money. The clicks are accurate. It has held zero from day one, and I am not replacing it until it fails me.

There's a recent thread with a post from one of our members. A picture of one dead crow taken at over 90 yards, IIRC. With a springer.

I said "Heck, the PCP guys brag about 60 yard shots," or something to that effect.
