I know you have a Disco. Have you done anything to the trigger on the gun. I read how not to user friendly it is. Al

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Haven't done anything to the trigger on the Disco, no. It is heavy, but useable. Good enough to shoot the groups I've posted, anyway. The good news is that the Disco is so popular, there are all kinds of aftermarket trigger kits for it. I do plan to get one, at some point, but my list of projects to do is long enough as it is.

The one feature I would consider, first, for the Disco, is an aftermarket shroud/suppressor. As PCPs go, the Disco out of the box is a bit louder than a typical PCP. The previous owner added the shroud on mine. Of course, if noise isn't a factor, no big deal.

Im resurrecting this old thread but this HW comes with a scope and they just reduced the price again. It sure is tempting.

That is a great classic springer. Be tough to beat as an all around air rifle.

Probably a stupid question but I don't see any pump handle on this rifle. Do they have an adapter for an air supply to fill gun to a prescribed PSI or do they run off CO2 cartridges?

That's a spring piston rifle, not a PCP, though it is, as I said, a classic. Highly recommend it if you can afford it.

Never shot one. How does a spring piston air rifle work?

Bending/swiveling the rifle in half cocks it. Pulling the trigger releases the spring, pushing the piston/air behind the pellet
