RecoilReaper Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Good evening Gentlemen!!! After much thought and deliberation I've decided to enter the 21st century and sell my entire collection of HW springers and convert to PCP. Why you might ask? Well I simply do not have the time in my current lifestyle to keep my technique up to the standards that these fantastic rifles deserve. They have served me well, but now it's time for them to find a new home to retire to, where someone with dedication can give them the love and attention they need. There's no going back now - PCP here I come!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 This is a sad day, sad day indeed. However it is redeemable and whence you find the strength and courage to admit your grave mistake and judgement I for one will welcome you back and sooth your brow by speaking of the many virtues of a springer. You won't be gone long. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would be more understanding if you were coming out as gay on here , but swapping quality springers for a PCP give yourself a good slap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzashadow Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 what way do you mean that fenny? your gay so that's why you understand him or its wrong to change and move in to the modern times taking shot after shot in silence with out the need for all that straining and 12-14 pellets all loaded at home in the light and not trying to feel where the hole is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Keep one springer else you will regret it!+1 If you can afford to, keep your favourite springer as an insurance policy just in case you don't love the PCP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 It is true that the springer can produce some first rate results, but the PCP is the way. Multi shot in particular is very useful! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Reaper,, before underdog has a heart attack and fenboy has another gay relationship with myself on a Friday,,, can I ask "WHICH " pcp you are looking at buying totally agree with Dekers ,, you wont regret getting a PCP mate but don't go for a cheap and cheerful one , underdog only has a springer because he likes to live in the 80,s , he thinks he is Boy George on steroids but doesn,t like admitting he,s had a threesome with me and Fenboy if you own a HW80 my advice would be keep it to use also, but without doubt pcp is the way forward for numerous reasons so don't let people put you off buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felly100 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Go PCP. I'm so fed up with the loading on my TX200 that I'm thinking of using it for French cricket in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockster1801 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Totally agree with Evo, be prepared to spend big money and you'll never look back, buy a cheapie and you'll regret it and wonder why anyone prefers springers .

FalconFN Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Totally agree with Evo, be prepared to spend big money and you'll never look back, buy a cheapie and you'll regret it and wonder why anyone prefers springers .Although it should be said that you don't have to spend a fortune if you buy a quality rifle second hand. As he has a 'collection' of tuned rifles, my opinion is go for a quality PCP but keep 1 good springer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 FINE! Do what you want! It's not like you ever consider our feelings..... Truthful if it suits your shooting get one, as advised get a good one but keep your favourite boinger if only to put a smile on your face when you plink all day with nowt more than a tin of pellets and some spinners required.
