What’s your favorite Air Gun ??

I don’t have any airguns. Many decades ago I had a Daisy. Now only the Anschutz and a customized 10/22 as well as 1 flintlock and 2 caplock black powder long guns.

“I have a bunch of air guns, but this one is by far the best!”

No comment other than geez I wish I had thought of that one. Zinggggg! :laughing:

you should be ashamed

I never saw that before. What is it ?

But do you think I am?

...

Seriously, though, when I was a kid in the 1980's, I had a Daisy pump BB gun, and it was a ton of fun.

I didn't have to buy CO2 cartridges, either.

I was not mature enough to have a BB gun, though.

I shot my sister in the eye, and tried to shoot some other kids across a busy street.

(I was a stupid kid.)

Benjamin Pump —- Every kid I knew had one growing up

Rossi Dione. No matter the caliber or model, the Dione is a real hole puncher even when you shoot freehanded. Won’t get any prizes for power, it pales compared to any “magnum” air rifle, but you don’t get a break-barrel for power, do you?

I had a Red Ryder too…when I was a young kid, I shot the neighbour right on her bum when she got out of her car wearing tight jeans from my bedroom window. She jumped around and carried on a treat. Funny but stupid, I was about 10y/o.

So far, my Benjamin Armada.
My state limits me to .177cal though.
I have been playing with “slugs” instead of pellets. It hits hard for 177, I give it that.
Trying to get better consistency out of it at 100yds. 50yds its on, 75 is not bad, but at 100 it opens up a lot.
It has the reach no problem, just not the accuracy.
Got more different slugs to test when I get time.

Hand pumping one of these is a serious cardio event. Not to mention you need to weigh a fair amount to push the pump down towards the end. My wife could practically do a handstand on it w/o it moving.

I live in a big city. It’s illegal to shoot airguns, but I do anyway.
No way I can shoot 22 without problems.

I have an Annie 2013 in a bench rest stock with a Lilja tube. Lots of fun.
It even likes some of the cheaper Eley - Well most of the time. It’s so frelling windy here, it’s hard to test.
One of these years I’m going to take it to Winters TX and find the magic lot.
All the Best,
Jeff

I like 22. As in .22 cal air guns.

Webley Hurricane .177 is the only air pistol or rifle I’ve ever had.

I’ll have to actually check to see if it still works okay, as I’ve not even looked at it for several years. Where I’m living, it might scare off the crows, but the raccoons, coyotes, and bears would just get mad at me.

Those things do the job! Anyone remember this scene? :sunglasses:

I have some good news.

I thought I shot my sister in the eye, but she says I shot her in her posterior.

She should know--she was the one that got shot.

Thank God you were a lousy aim! Eyeballs are very fragile, less fixable, and much more important than gluteals. She might have gone the rest of her life doing the :wink: :wink: :wink: .

Actually, I am a great shot, so because I shot her in her rear end, that's where I was aiming.

I'm very glad that it turns out I didn't aim for her face.

That would have been messed up.

in answer to pirate joe 22’s question:

I like to shop at Killough’s for lesser grades of Eley. The best 22 I have is a CZ 452, so not really worth the lot testing he does. Your Annie could probably benefit though. I am not far North of Abilene, so Winters is a relatively short drive. The shop is kind of neat place in the country there.

I can’t believe those Daisy Model 25s are still being made! I had one in the late 1950’s, and it was amazingly accurate. Hard to cock for a ten year old, I recall having to stick the butt in my groin and pull with both hands, but an all around great BB gun!
