New to Air-Guns! Please Help!
Hi, my name is Jason and I’m a Freshman in High-School and until recently, I haven’t really been interested in Pellet/BB/Air-Soft guns. However, after seeing the TalonSS on Pyramydair I decided that I had to get one by this Christmas. I have no clue on how to really use an Air-Rifle, however I’ve read and researched a lot about them when I had wanted to get the Gamo Whisper .22 Cal w/ the Air Venturi Ram Gas upgrade. I didn’t know about “tune ups” until I heard of a person who did it for Gamo under the alias of CharlieDaTuna which eventually led me here.
I’ve been searching through the forums and I was at first thinking of getting the “combo” pack for the Talon SS w/ the scope but saw someone say to instead get the Bushnell Legend 5-15×40 Rifle Scope for the same amount of money. I was wondering about a few things about the TalonSS Air-Rifle and I was wondering if you guys here at this active forum could answer them. I sent a copy of these questions (below) to the customer support Email team at Pyramydair but am not sure because I have had terrible experiences with their chat support. I was also wondering where I could get the cheapest TalonSS (Gun Only) and a separate rail (for the Bushnell Legend) and the Bushnell Legend Scope. I know that Pyramydair has a 10% off on your whole shopping cart coupon but I was wondering if you guys knew a different store that offered something higher? Do you guys know if Air-Gun retailers give bigger coupons during Christmas time? My wallet is a little on the thin side and I was wondering if I could get this all for under/around $600.
Also, in my state (VA) and city (suburban), shooting any projectiles from a gun (be it pellet/bb/airsoft) are prohibited. However, all of my friends with Pellet guns and bb guns shoot them in their backyard and I was wondering if people under these same conditions always went to a hunting area to shoot squirrels and birds? I know I’m going a little bit high on the quality and price for my first air gun; however, after seeing the TalonSS I’m not sure I can resist buying it. I would absolutely get a full tune up from TalonTunes when I can afford it, but until then I’m going to hope the TalonSS I get will be as good as people say.
PS: I just registered onto Talonairgun’s forums and I would like to say thank you to everyone reading this!
———————————-Questions—————————————
-What is the difference between the c02 version and PCP version of Airforce Talon SS?
-Do you need an adaptor for a (any) pump to connect to the air tank of the Airforce Talon SS? If so, what is the name/where can I find it on this site?
-Can any pump with a psi-measuring dial w/ an adaptor for the air tank be used to pump air into the Talon SS? I have a bike tire pump that looks exactly like “AirForce 3-stage PCP Hand Pump”, but I’m not exactly sure if it would work with the Airforce tank.
-For the AirForce Talon SS – Gun only – no sights -no clamp Powerful pre-charged pneumatic , Caliber – 0.22, where could I buy clamps for the AirForce 4-16x50AO Rifle Scope, Mil-Dot Reticle, 1/4 MOA, 1″ Tube?
-What are good pellets for the TalonSS? I’ve heard of some called Eun Jin which I think are super heavy and Benjamin pellets which I think are for practicing/plinking.
