Springers are nice for the $$$-I've owned RWS 34 & 45's and 2 Beeman R-10's,but they are no comparison to a pcp gun.My synthetic Marauder is factory tuned to shoot 25.39 grain pellets @ 820 fps,and I get 25+ accurate shots before pumping.While I don't get the accuracy that some claim,the gun will shoot groups under 1/2" at fifty yards way more often than not.The last three 5 shot groups at 50 yards averaged .379".The gun is also quieter than a springer and not hold sensitive-bipod,sandbags or whatever-poi doesn't change.I can consistently kill starlings at 60+ yards,and the .25 pellet make a very loud pop when it hits.
