I think for lead it's the RWS Hobbies.

I have an IZH46M which I have shot 10m pistol postal matches with. Need to pull it out and start that up again, really refines your overall shooting skills.

Around 1972 I traded something, probably fishing lures as that's about all I had, for a Daisy 25 from a friend. Spent the next year or so walking the potato fields near my house perfecting use of that 25 shooting at spent shotgun shells I would pick up and toss in air and shoot at them. Sure...

Thats impressive shooting! The hw98 is a fantastic rifle and in the right hands, as accurate as any spring rifle.

Interested in that conversion kit for when my 95 ram dies, where did you order it? I didn't see it listed on the Hatsan site.

I have a BSA Lightning xl converted to a ram as well as a couple of Webley Trackers. Both of these guns are much nicer with rams than a spring, particularly the Lightning XL.

Yeah I have a Mk1 Vulcan with a carbine barrel and muzzle brake as well as a Stingray, need to line them all up and see how they all look together.

The Omega is a bit different as it lacks the muzzle brake and has the barrel latch, other than similar stock style, same safety etc. Omega on bottom of this pic.

Zrman27500, interesting on the Bearcub as a mini version of the Kodiak. I was thinking my Webley Omega is almost an identical build of the Kodiak at a different power level and size.

Been on a Daisy kick lately so was replacing spring seals etc on a Daisy 95 which was a success, and started to work on a Daisy 96 doing the same.

Yeah you read the brit airgun forums and the Patriot/Kodiak get bashed as terrible guns, and like Toxylon said, nobody wants them, kind of a mystery to me now I have one in hands, as they are just superb guns. I was lucky enough to stumble on this one Sunday night browsing a retailers used guns...

This is my first .25 and I can see the appeal for just blasting stuff like cans. Really gets the cans jumping and tearing open with the impact. Just bonus having it be a nice Birmingham Webley with the great bluing and build quality, and all for $140!

Added another Webley to the collection at a very cheap price, a Beeman Kodiak (Webley Patriot) in .25 in nice condition. When I bought this rifle I assumed it would be a harsh shooting novelty gun, but I was pleasantly surprised! The thing shoots like a gas ram with a dull thud even though it...

The TS 45 seems to be the first sidelever air rifle that was around here in the states in the 80s. The QB 58 is not as old and I believe of a different Chinese factory lineage, I think the Industry lineage, also quite abit nicer than the TS45. I seem to remember the QB58 being sold by...

Yeah there are plenty of Chinese sidelevers, I still have a TS45 and XS B7, but have had many others in the past like the XSB21, XS B3, XS B30, TF41 and that bullpup one that came apart and had a briefcase like case. I think the nicest one was the XS B30 which I sold to a forum member here...
