I came here totally open-minded and hoping to learn from others with vastly more experience than I have. I have gotten great advice from some folks, and I have found many things that were a great read. What is very disappointing to me is how some brands can be bashed, kicked and driven into the ground to no end and with other brands it is inappropriate to find any fault with them at all. That tends to make me feel like I cannot really trust or believe in much of anything, kind of like politics and politicians. I find it fascinating that when new people to Airgunning come on and ask about guns they can reasonably afford, there will always be people completely ignoring what they said and telling them to buy the most expensive guns made. It's okay, they probably really don't need a scope, ammo or any way to fill it, so sure by all means spend twice as much money as you have on a gun so you can hang it on your wall and enjoy looking at it every day and totally enjoy the fact that it will never break. Well, that's not really true, is it? The Savage 110E wasn't the prettiest gun like Browning, but it would bring home the deer. The cancel culture is totally alive and well and by the way, mine is better than yours and you better believe it.
