Another springer vs pcp argument that i cant get my head around
Now i will say this,plinking with a pcp for me is boring,it's much more fun with a springer...but let me ask you this,do you try to use the most accurate pellets available for your rifle?The answers probably yes.
Would you tune your rifle to make it shoot sweeter with less recoil,probably yes again.So you want to have the rifle as accurate as possible with it being as user freindly as possible?Yes?Then get a pcp
Some will go as far as buying a semi recoiless springer like a Whiscombe or tx200sr but still not want a pcp which has miniscule recoil
Recoil from a springer & the extra work involved to judge just how the recoil will affect the POI with different holds/stances,rests is what a pcp has done away with,so why go backwards?
I know rifles that are self contained are less hassle than a pcp,& they can be more fun,but if a pcp puts more in your game bag then thats what i'll use.
