What airgun do you really want but are putting off acquiring ?

[buttloaves]

Parker Hale / Pax Phoenix- Always fancied the looks. In reality I've not snapped at a couple that have been for sale. That boat may well have sailed now.

Not so, my son recently bought a .177 Phoenix mk2 £400 it had issues but an easy fix really, the squirt of oil on the bottle valve did not work, turned out the valve head face had a few very small bits of metal embedded in it causing air to leek out the barrel also someone had had it in bits and lost some of them. I ordered the bits off pax and the gun is sound now only cost £25, so £425 for his gun which is in very good condition actually, mine cost £840 (extra mag) and i must say it is a great gun i tend to pick that above many others when i feel like taking one out, can't understand why they loose their value and are not more popular? I could still get what i paid for my HW100 no problem.

I meant the boat has sailed with me not the rifle. I just probably do't fancy one as much as I think I do .
