I think the springer revival shows some of the depth of our sport, it's not the latest greatest PCP rifle completely that rules our sport, there is actually a sense of spirituality in taking an accurate shot where the mental reward is equal to the effort put into the shot.
I think to get the most enjoyment out of air rifle shooting then shooting both springers and PCP's is the way to go, not only do both type of actions have enough charisma and character to enjoy in their own right, but it seems to me each type of action enhances the use of the other.
I wonder if an accurate, recoiling PCP would be as rewarding to shoot as a springer?
