Best value PCP

[Captain Bongo]

Steyr Hunting 5. I've had just about every PCP made over the last 20 odd years, many several times. If I'd have got this first it would have saved me thousands!

Yeah, but the S200 is better and cheaper. So much better that I have just bought another from Poland and will challenge you to a shooting contest at the November bash with my S200. Loser has to fill the hot water bottles.

I agree, in my opinion the S200 represents very good value for money.



Was there much of a saving by purchasing your S200 from Poland taking into account any postage costs?



Thanks

No, I paid 488 euros or £422 including delivery to my house. At Bar they are £420 and at Solware they are £399, Both retailers that I am very happy to buy guns from.

But they both only supply the standard stock versions and I have ordered one in a green adjustable stock that I could not find in any UK retailer.

I've had three. Sold them all. Its better than the S4**'s, but that's not exactly difficult.

Challenge accepted! Quickest five rings at the 40 yard 8mm bell target wins.

The S400 is better value for not much more money.

And if you get the Classic with the longer cylinder, you'll get almost twice as many shots as with the S200.

The S400 isn't particularly heavy but the S200 is a lightweight and has a better barrel.

The S200 is a very accurate gun but it is overpriced in the UK.

Better to buy from abroad.

If you go for the 200 buy this one:

That's the one I went for.

Best value are the ISP Spartan and AirStream rifles.
How many other manufacturers give you the option to tell them exactly how you want your rifle to be and then craft them by hand?

[Arthur John Smithsplease]

That's the one I went for.

How are you getting on with it Captain?

How many shots do you get from the longer cylinder?

Does anybody make a quick fill to go on the end?

I'm very tempted myself.

Just waiting for the euro to collapse.

Too late Steve, I filled them in the last knockings at the previous Bash when Mick had the Portaloos taken away

'Best Value' ? I guess that's the best you can get with the budget you've got. Have a look at second hand maybe, there are some very nice PCPs out there at reasonable prices.
