    It seems to me that your heart is set on a PCP but I cannot help but comment that you are missing out by fast forwarding to such a sitution.

    The very fact that you have to break the barrel, (or cycle the underlever), cock the rifle, load a single pellet, position yourself, settle into the shot, sight up, and ultimately squeeze the trigger, puts you into a certain mindset and teaches you how to shoot a recoiling device that cannot be hurried. I would have to differ and call this learning your marksmanship skills and not a chore. If the mechanical and optical elements are set up correctly in the above scenario and you miss, then it was your skills which caused the miss.

    Now, I have nothing whatsoever against PCP's, I have an Ultra in .22 which I use for hunting and it is to me at least the best suited piece of hardwear to use when clearing vermin such as ferrals and rats etc but, I need to add though that I use springers exclusively for what you might call edible and for the pot hunting.

    On the range??????

    A simple, accurate, well made, joy to own and shoot, and cheap to run;

    HW30s with synthetic stock and carbine weighted barrel in .177

    And believe me, she is no chore, she does this
