Old but new.

Hi all, I've been a shooter for the best part of 50 years, but fairly new to the world of PCP air rifles, hence the subject line. I've been looking in different places to gain knowledge and hopefully, enough passed on wisdom, that will allow me to dive into this new and bewildering world, without being sold a pup or falling foul of an unscrupulous seller.
I have a fancy to try some friendly target shooting, before hopefully joining in with some FT/HFT with the odd bit of vermin control, so after spending what seemed like a million hours on Youtube, reading reviews and asking questions, I seem to have made my decision on the rifle I would prefer to start with, I think I've made the right decision, before I spend my money, but I've plumped for the Air Arms S400 in .177.
Now, given the research I've done, it seems to be the best option, with several choices of after market parts, to help me to enjoy the sport more. So, I ask my new friends, have I made the right choice? budget is of course a major factor, but I do have a little put away, I can dip into, to start me on my way. I'm not green by any means, but I don't want to be wasting my money carelessly, so if I have the right rifle, I've looked at scopes, which will more than likely be a Hawke, pellets, I've not really delved into yet, but after shooting a friends air rifle, AADE or AADF will probably be the ones.
Here I am, please drop me a line if there's anything you can suggest or point me in the right direction, I'm here to learns and enjoy myself all the way.
Cycling was my sport, but after a couple of accidents and warnings from those in the medical fraternity, I've found a new sport, that will get me out of the house and plenty of social interaction.
Thank you.
