I looked at that one quite a bit. But, my budget doesn't allow for that (3x+ over my budget).
And, this might be a bit of an odd parameter, but, I'm really not into the multi-round magazine thing. A major part of my search was for a single shot. And that is a tough parameter to find in the PCP platform.

I hope you guys are alright with my pop gun talk?!
In researching the new .22, I found this for my Crosman 2100. Earlier, I posted a pic with my two-tone fingernail polish front sight. Well, this sight arrived yesterday. It required a change in rear sight elevation. In five minutes, I was whacking dead center again. What a major difference compared to the old sight!
It was a nice snug fit that needed the slightest tapping to seat it. It fit better than the original sight.

My right eye has taken a few hard licks over the years, and is a bit fuzzy on that side; not bad, just not clear. So, I take a lot of non-standard shots with open sights, aiming with my left eye, and, everything else from the right (at first). Then, I started working on the ambidextrous thing, and, am now able to shoot right or left. My left eye is definitely more clear. I've made a couple of really long shots (for a pellet gun) from the left side.
It is still really weird feeling to go left, but, I no longer look like a complete imbecile trying to mount the gun to the left.

Well, i was going to try to hold out until I'd actually used this thing. But the hand pump just got delayed from the manufacturer.
Unwrapping porn,...
Beeman 1322 QB Chief .22 caliber single shot PCP Air Rifle:
And,... who knew??,... It came with it own mirophone capsule up near the muzzle! Total bonus (to a live music recordist)!!
The stock,... it actually fits my shoulder, without undue neck strain trying t fold my neck down to sight the thing.
It feels really solid. The stock is quite nice; perhaps over finished a wee bit, where they did a fogging of stain to cover the grain a bit (hiding imperfections I suspect). But I'm a retired finisher, and, know what I'm looking at/for in finishing, so probably being too critical.

Hand pump arrived today. Sighting in commenced.
#1, as out of the box
#2 - 2 clicks left
#3 - bottomed out rear sight
#4 @ 6 o'clock sighting
#5 went to Sarge, and she shot it into the hillside, just to see how it felt. She hated the springer kick; and loved this one.
#6 hit its mark in the form of a furry tailed rat.
#7 ^
#3 confirmed to me that it was sighted at 6 O'Clock. I sighted #4 at the lower circle intersect point, and, #4 hit pretty close to home. All sighted at 60'
This was as low as the rear sight would go. I like 6 o'clock sighting, and have used it well with my Crosman. So, we're good to go.
The gun barely shuddered on firing, but, is quite loud! I loved the lack of Mule kick from an air gun,.. huge bonus points!

Packed up the load out and took the wife to the foothills of the Coast Range for a little shooting today.
She got to shoot steel with her EBR (Evil Black Rifle) M&P 15-22, then she switched to the Ruger MKIV .22LR semi-auto pistol for some steel banging fun.
I played with some bigger bullets, .45ACP, 5.56 x 45 NATO and some 7.62 x 51 NATO.
Out first was my Springfield Champion Lightweight Operator. This 1911 is just so slick and accurate. It's like an extension of my hand and I was popping steel with it pretty quickly today. I actually looped the 4" steel disk over and around the 2x4 it was chained to.
Next it was the Ruger SR556.
And then it was time for some bigger bullets and out came the Ruger SR762
Saturday I have a date with another 7.62 x 51 chambered semi-auto, a Springfield Armory M1A Loaded. It belongs to a friend and he wants to try out my 762 and I'm gonna get some of that M1A goodness in return.

Daily carries. Carried a full frame Kimber 1911 for 7 years before I came to my senses.

Had to check on mine since it's never been fired, but it's a MK III
While I'm not much of a "gun guy," I do own a couple that I keep for home defense.
My nightstand gun...
This was my EDC gun for a while, but it felt like I was carrying a cinder block...
My employment situation has recently changed. I'm an educational administrator, and our school is moving towards the creation of a school security department. This means that certain administrators (including me) will be carrying concealed pistols. I don't want to start a debate about this practice in schools. There hasn't been a general consensus about the type of pistol that we will carry, but it has been decided that we will all carry the same pistol. So I bought a HK VP9SK in advance to try to convince the group that it's the right pistol for the security department.

Thanks. I don't like it either, but it's simply a matter of economics. Our SRO (School Security Officer) costs $50K+ per year - while 5 armed administrators will only cost about $7500. With all the unfunded mandates our state is passing along to the schools, this seems to be the best route.
