No

No i don't believe your thinking of me.

I asked about a scope.

But didn't state anything about taxes.

I am young and did weeks of research and considered a few different guns.

I got CP' s to shoot since a lot of reports said they were the most accurate. (not too light "supersonic" and not too heavy to avoid "piston bounce")

Main reason i choose the 460 was it had good power(FPE) from reports for the price, was from good manufacture and was fixed barrel, i considered a RX-2 but choose the 460 just hope it's all i hoped for.

Other two air guns i owned were .177 caliber and not capable of enough energy for hunting.

A Benji pump and a Crossman break barrel (discontinued).

Always wanted a true hunting air rifle, and hope i enjoy this gun as i want to move to a PCP later on if i enjoy the sport a lot.

Until something bad has happened I would try not to worry about it. Case in point; since another of our brethren has been through this with his 46, I would be inclined to think PA might be a little more careful with how they handle airguns sold with cases. I really would like to think so.

Don't fret about it too much unless something bad comes of it. I know its hard not to but try not to anyway.

Agreed

February 22 2008, 7:08 PM 

Yea i am just going to try to enjoy the rifle.

I plan on getting a chrony soon just for ballistic purposes, and i guess now to test her out.

I am also very happy to see such a great community here its very great group of people (helping out one another with repairs and bad deals haha)

Glad to join your ranks.

You won't tell the difference

February 23 2008, 6:30 AM 

between a 460 .22 firing 750 and one firing 850 unless you have a chrony. Its a bit quieter and slightly smoother but that's it. If you do have one that fires in the 750s and you do some balistic testing in comparison with one firing at 850 you will really see that the 100fps makes a nice difference especially with large hollow points.
Just enjoy it. I am pretty anal about getting what I paid for so I sent my 460 to Paul Watts to fix the piston seal issue and replace the spring with a Maccari.

Dont get me wrong i want mine to shoot 850 If it dont they will see it till it does or give me a new gun. Or i will contact cabelas. They dont like unhappy cust. If i came across i dont care what it shoots i do. I called and told them
i was going to send it back because of the trouble alot of people where having,
they told me if i had trouble they would make it right. I hope it was the right
choice to keep it. Ive shoot guns all my life but first springer. Love the way it shoots, but did buy it to hunt. I want all i can get like you i bought it because it was suppose to shoot 900fps.
All the best on your gun

Arrived today

February 23 2008, 4:07 PM 

Yea it arrived today it is a beautiful rifle.

I'm pretty anal too if its shooting in the 750's their are a lot of other models i could of got that shoot that.

As of now i am happy but if later i discover its shooting low ill get it fixed.

Pyramid did a good job packing it, they put bubble wrap all around the gun/scope inside case

Was packed well in perfect condition.

The CP i got were also great, die #7

I cant wait to test it out.

"Pyramid did a good job packing it, they put bubble wrap all around the gun/scope inside case"

Well, it seems my sad tale of TWO ruined RWS 46's in a row packed in the Plano case without the above treatment got their attention! The way I figure, PA lost at least $250-300 to save $1.00 of bubble pack and thirty seconds of a packers time! (Two ruined stocks and 4 x $25 of shipping)

My 460, which to their credit they gave me a VERY good deal on, arrives Tuesday...I've got both fingers and toes crossed! IF I get a good one, the only time it's EVER going to leave my custody is when they pry it from my dead, cold fingers! If I need it tuned I'll do it myself. Period.
And FORGET the warranty!

Go to the yellow forum to see some REALLY ugly pics of FedEx Gunsmithing, Inc.

Sorry to hear that.

I work in a warehouse and a lot of these things are trial and error, as sad as that sounds.

At least they learned and did better.

Yea i seen some of those FedEx pics also, lol pretty bad, mine only had to travel less than 4 hours though thank god.
