Hello AAR folks. Thanks for the quality content !
I've done some .22LR a while back and have had a springer pistol before (again many years ago). I'm now looking to get back into shooting and am looking for a PCP pistol with a silencer (noise needs to be minimal) which will give me a challenge at relatively short distances in my back garden (15m or so). Should I just get a pistol with open sights or should I get a red dot or scope?
Money wise looking to spend < £1K all in. I don't mind the exercise involved using a manual pump (indeed given lockdown etc... I don't think it'll do any harm at all).
I saw the PCP pistol review on the youtube channel and kind of liked the Artemis pp800 (I kind of prefer the multi shot magazine) but should I just (given the limited range) go for a single shot open sights type setup which would pose more of a challenge?
What would you do ?
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Cheers
Andy.
Hello Dan - thanks for the advice , especially around the pellet trap! I hadn't thought that far downrange yet.
Hi Andy, I posted a similar question not long ago. The pp800 looks really good but for me it might be out of budget. The Webley vmx co2 was highly recommended. I need the pistol to be very quiet (unpleasant neighbours) might save up a bit longer and go for the pp800 it does look like a great bit of kit. Building a silent pellet trap is half the battle, I've found layers of old carpet really work well. Good luck and let us all know how you get on.
