    Hi all

    I'm new to here, but not new to shooting.

    I must admit, it was long time ago when I did it last time

    I have always used spring loaded air rifles before and I can see big differences now with PCP rifles.

    I'm now thinking is it worth to buy second hand PCP or better to start with new gas ram to keep the starting cost lower?

    What is your experience with buying second hand PCP?

    Welcome to the BBS.

    You'll find that a gas ram air rifle is similar to the spring piston guns you've always used, while a PCP is quite a different prospect.

    As you're planning to visit a club, all will become clear. Or much clearer at least.

    Yes, it is more likely about to keep the starting cost lower atm, so I will probably try to find used one.
