    Air Arms Camargue

    Hi,
    I have an Air Arms Camargue. Had it for years and years and have decided to get back into a bit of shooting - mainly plinking in my garden. Part of me (a big part) is tempted with a pcp with a magazine though. What are people's opinions on this? I was thinking along the lines of selling the Camargue and using the money towards a pcp. Should I or shouldn't I?

    You shouldn't.

    But I am biased in favour of older springers.

    You could

    As:
    1. Lighter
    2.Able to fit a silencer.
    3.Easier to use
    4.Trigger is better.

    What ever you decide to do, airgun shooting is very therapeutic

    No, no, no, no, no!

    DO NOT SELL THE CAMARGUE.

    If you must have one of those pesky, devoid-of-character, leaky, bottle dependant instruments, by all means get one. But get it IN ADDITION to your wonderful Camargue and not instead of. They're getting more and more rare now and very collectable. Once it's gone, it's gone. Any regrets post sale (and I'm sure this would be the case) and it will be very hard to replace. And costly for a nice one.

    I have several PCP's and springers and find that PCP's have no soul. They are just accuracy machines, perfect for the job they were intended for but all the same. I have an Air Arms Mistral and much modified HW80K, both of which are just as accurate and more fun to use. I would happily trade you a PCP for your Camargue but I think you would regret the decision.
