not too late to buy a Weinrauch I like my PCP but it has a sweet spot I have to stay within and tired of filling up my tank all the time, something to be said for a quality springer. guess I will soon have both worlds. your gophers soon will have no chance LOL!! congrats

I've been eyeing the same one. What I really want in my safe though is a diana stutzen.

Both these companies are very reputable, stand behind what they sell and have excellent selections. Had excellent dealings with both.

I have an FX in .25 and love it. hauling the scuba tank out to the gopher field can be a pain tho.

I'll second D&L.
I've dealt with them for ten years now...everthing from my kids first guns (Red Ryders) to a couple of Diana's plus Hawke scopes for both the airguns as well as our powderburner.
Kelly in sales is great and John in service can be godsend. I once had an issue with an match pistol days before a local competition. John said he knew what the problem was...but there was only two days till the competition. He spent over an hour on the phone with me, walking me through a teardown and figuring out temporary fix that got me through the competition (placed 3rd out of 17...so the fix was good).
All that plus excellent prices. I usually order a sleeve of RWS pellets (5000 pellets) and including shipping to Edmonton they are cheaper than Wholesale or Cabela's.

The on board pump the FX Independence has is pretty cool.
