Daz Harrison Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Im going for the big plunge and getting my first pcp, How did you get on going from springer to pcp ? (if you ever have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I got a pcp many years ago as far as I can remember changing from one too the other never even occurred to me, the only thing you will probably notice is it being a bit front heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I went from spring to gas ram then changed to a Logun Axor and never looked back I can also shoot all 8 shots in around 6 seconds and have done a few time's when out ratting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 No problem! No spring recoil on a pcp, my super ten is smooth and so accurate! Hardly use my HW 77 springer now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Harrison Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 cool, thanks for your feed back 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 If youve learnt to shoot a springer, youve become accurate. Start using a pcp and you become deadly. Keep using the springer tho, eventually you'll enjoy it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Springer to pcp is a very easy step, unless you've shot a Springer the other way isint so easy but far from difficult. They are excellent tools and boringly accurate, even the cheaper ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I started with an old diana when i was about 15 . Then .a long time later after a long hiatus .i got a crosman 2250 .and havent been without an airgun since (that was about 25 years ago ) so really (ignoring the diana) i went from co2 to bsa ultra pcp . Then the third gun was ...... hummm ...errrr.. its blurry. Either a bsa xl lightening in .177 or a crosman 1377 pump up . Anyway a springer came after pcp but to be honest there is no way i will ever be without a springer in my collection (currently have 3 ) have owned more than that at one time . As said above there is a massive satisfaction from shooting a good springer. No matter how good fx make there pcps . Ps . Its a crime to only own 1 airgun . U need at LEAST 1 pcp 1 springer 1 pistol . Imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaz25 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Got by the last 30 odd years on springer's and pump ups got my first pcp this year, I still shoot the springer's and pump ups but I see the advantage of the pcp and I'm very taken with it.

Ohh no never say shotty. The best thing about PCP is the accuracy and lack of noise. Did I say about the accuracy 😁 Edited October 25, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
