So this thing is cheaper than a crossbow, and still capable of 300 fps? I need another backyard toy like I need a hole in my head, but this thing is just cheap enough I could talk myself into one for zero legitimate reasons.

"zero legitimate reasons"

Those are the very best reasons!

FWIW, there are other PCP-powered air rifles / arrow launchers that will generate over 450 fps. Of course those are more expensive but they definitely have the accuracy and power for hunting in states that allow it. (I believe AZ does but IL doesn't. I was going to joke about other things that IL doesn't allow but couldn't narrow the list down.)

I wouldn't want to buy those 88 gr CO2's... but you could get the adapter and use 2x12g... I wonder how many decent shots you could get from 2x12g.

Thanks. Just bought one.

For some reason the specialty stores (Pyramyd, Airgun Depot) never seem to have them. Maybe that’s just my bad luck.
