Advice for 1st time buyer
I have been lurking for a while, but now that I have decided to buy an SS, I want to know what is the best way to start?
Looking for a SS in 22 caliber using the scuba tank kit.
Should I get a new gun w/o scope from Pyramid Air or should I go ahead and get their scope package?
My primary purpose for the gun is to kill pests, typically from 5-30 yards. I will be modding it to get the noise down immediately. Not sure if I need a scope at all or if I should get open sights or maybe a laser.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
My preference would to be finding a used gun with some upgrades, but they seem scarce. I will keep my eyes open though.
Any good places to search for used guns other than here and the yellow forum link?
Thanks.

Better to get one that already has most of what you want rather than buying everything seperate. I think it is a very wise decision. You would have added all of that stuff later anyway…..Try talking to the guy….He may come off of the price a little and then you both feel like you made a great deal….
Now comes the wait…I hate that part….
Welcome
Thanks for the responses guys. I have emailed the seller on Yellow Forum. A little more than I wanted to spend out of the shoot, but looks to be a good deal.
I am excited about getting one of these guns. Its a blast tinkering with toys like these. I look forward to learning more from the folks on this forum.
There is a Talon SS with 18″ barrel and shroud for sale in the yellow classifieds…Better scoop it up quick it is a good deal….
You will want a scope but not necessarily the scope they have in a package.
For the 5-30 yard shooting you are doing there are a few inexpensive scopes that will work well for you.
One is the Leaper 3×9 50mm scope that runs like $60. That is a decent scope to get you started with out going poor. Get some high accushot mount for it for a few buck and you should be good to go.
That is the scope I started with my Talon SS and it worked pretty good.

I would say….get just the rifle and put a BSA Optics Tactical Riflescope w/Illuminated Red Mil-Dot Reticle on it….A laser for the 0-10yd shots and a pump for backup incase you don’t have time to refill an empty scuba tank….And you may as well get the 18″ barrel and a shroud for it because ya gonna end up doing it any way….You can then swap the barrels out and use the same shroud….Hopefully I will be selling my SS in about a week and half…I am just waiting on a few parts for my Condor.
