I don't believe I have read anyone go thru what you gone thru with your Cayden rifle.....I read the reviews on that gun and sadly, I waited a few months too long and watched the price tag rise by over 25% in a very short time. You hung in there and are enjoying the fruits of your labor.

I was afraid to dive into the PCP world and am sure glad I did, springers can't compete with this platform. I fully enjoy my springers but they are not PCP's. I purchased the JTS Airacuda a short time ago and have nothing but smiles shooting this thing. I love it so much I purchased another PCP. I predict the Airacuda will jump in price as well. More gun than I ever dreamed of for a pellet rifle.

In closing, I took the chance and got into the PCP platform both feet first as I knew if it turned badly, the members here would help me thru the problems. I saw first hand how they helped you get that gun firing as the hundreds of great reviews the Cayden has.

After going through few pages I fail to see the point of this thread. You are clearly not willing to put any work on a potentially simple issue.

Are you trying to convince everyone that PCP sucks? Or are you just posting to vent your frustration?

Sell / return the gun and move on.

A lot of members would perform a quick repair of such a miner issue, post pics of the problem and the repair, to help the community if they themselves had the same issue.

It took me 6 months to solve my Reximex issue.

If it's such a simple issue, it seems obvious the manufacturer can't build a working product with more than 5 mins of reliable use,..

My experience owning a PCP has been nothing more than and expensive endeavor lasting 5mins and north of 1500.00. You make your point obvious, if fixing a brand new gun after using it once is what owning a PCP is all about I want absolutely nothing to do with it as there is zero return on investment to date. It's really to bad I was never once warned about having to fix and repair in order to use my gun, but now that I've spent the money and broken down I'm finding this out.

May I ask, why the hell should I have to tear down and fix a brand new product after its first use? if this is normal PCP ownership I'm happy to be one and done on such a waste of time and money.

I'm only here to share my experiences owning a PCP and warn others like myself who want to shoot. Don't get blindly led down this road without being given the honest facts about PCP ownership before you spend alot of money on brand new products you have to tear apart and fix yourself if you actually want to use them. These are the facts as proven now what I've come to find out, only after I've spent 1500.00 and broke down five mins in.ļ
