Yeah, I looked at PCP over the years. The price of some of the entry level guns is not bad, but the cost of air tanks or compressors is prohibitive, at least to me. But I guess making tanks and compressors that can do 4500 PSI is expensive.Due to cost they will never replace anything for me.
I'm sure the abcxyz boys are hard at work typing up a new "law" to cover air guns as we talk.I have a Benjamin Kratos in .22, Airforce Texan SS in .457 and a Sam Yang in .50 caliber. Are any of them a direct replacement for powder burner? NO.
Yes, it is very expensive to get set up for this hobby.
I like them because they are fun to shoot, quiet and not regulated by the government. However, the ATF is cracking down on the moderators that can be unscrewed and removed from the rifles. The built in moderators (full barrel non removable) don't seem to be on the radar yet. Air Rifles with no moderation are very loud.
Years ago, I bought a Crosman Storm XT Pellet rifle. Not as loud as a .22, but loud enough it would probably get the attention of the neighbors.I have a Benjamin Kratos in .22, Airforce Texan SS in .457 and a Sam Yang in .50 caliber. Are any of them a direct replacement for powder burner? NO.

When the liberals get on them that air rifles are as powerful as firearms, and silent; you can bet on it.I'm sure the abcxyz boys are hard at work typing up a new "law" to cover air guns as we talk.
