PCP's for Different Price Ranges
Perhaps you've been considering venturing into the world of PCP airguns, or maybe you've just discovered airguns and aren't sure what kind of gun you should get.....or how much you should expect one to cost.
PCP's are, of course, pre-charged pneumatics. They are powered by compressed air that is held in a container of some kind that is integral to the gun....either a tube or a bottle. An example of a PCP airgun with a tube is the Benjamin Discovery. Bottle guns are well-represented by the Air Force brand.
Within the world of PCP's, there are the economy guns, the mid-level guns, and the more expensive models available. Suffice it to say that you can spend just about as much as you want on a PCP, but there are some very good offerings in the budget and mid-level tiers as well. Let's take a look at a couple of offerings from the budget and mid-level categories.
For the budget-minded buyer, you're going to find it hard to beat the offering from Crosman Corporation, with their Benjamin Discovery. This gun can be had, WITH A PUMP, for $379.00. This is practically unheard of in the airgun world, but Crosman has managed to make PCP guns affordable and fun once again for the budget minded.
For the medium-range level of cost, you can find some excellent offerings from Air Force. The Air Force Talon can be had for less than $500 dollars, and it is a well-made, unique-looking gun that has gained quite a bit of fans over the last few years. It is an accessorizers dream, with rails just about everywhere on the gun, allowing you to hang scopes, lasers, bipods.....gadget after gadget for the airgunner who enjoys adding to his or her base gun. The Air Force Talon can also reach into the more expensive range of PCP's due to all the add-ons that are available.
One of the PCP's that Airgun Depot carries that pops up into the upper, mid-level price category is the Evanix AR6. This gun, coupled with a scope, manages to break the $700 figure quite easily. This gun is a powerhouse of a .22 caliber pellet gun, and I've enjoyed using it for medium-sized game on two different continents. It will perform marvelously on game, power through targets that lesser airguns simply splatter against, and bark like a big dog!
These are just some of the excellent selections that Airgun Depot offers the PCP airgunner, so look around and choose the airgun of your choice. And don't forget your pellets and other accessories, as well.
