air rifle question

[deerkiller300wsm]

looking at getting another air rifle. I need some help in deciding. I am looking at the Benjamin Trail NP, the Discovery and the Marauder. But do I really wana get into the PCP's? I have none of the equipment to refill them and would have to buy everything from scratch. On the other hand the Trail NP is pretty much top of the line break barrell and has no entry costs, other than ammo. Can anyone reccommend any of these rifles?

I bought one a couple of years ago, had (and still do) a rws break barrel.. the pcp is a whole different world.. kinda like long bow or mathews single cam.. both will do the job but....
dont know about the rifles you are looking at mine is a talon ss made by airforce airguns.. I bought a scuba tank to fill mine with.. you will really like pcp..

pcp is the only way to go.

If you want to buy a used go here first.

I have had several RWS springers Mod 48 and 34 and some chinese junk springers. I thought they were great only because I had never shot or owned anything better. But after I bought a .22 cal marauder. I doubt I will ever go back to a springer or nitro piston (NP).

I bought my SCBA 4500 psi tank on craigslist for 40 dollars. It had 4 years left on its 15 year shelf life( I got lucky). I had it hydro tested and I bought my gauges/hoses to fill my gun from Joe Brancato, he is a wealth of knowledge. http://www.airtanksforsale.com/



If you like to tinker and modify stuff, you may like a QB79 or QB78 from archer airguns. They are one of the most modified air rifle out there and there are tons of aftermarket parts you can buy and upgrade them. They come to you stock and shoot slow, but with a few changes you can fix that. Mine just arrived yesterday.
