If you could only keep one gun, which would it be?
- Thread starter Mickshooter
- Start date
Easy choice - It would be my NEXT ONE - it has multi caliber options, never needs air, sights itself in at any distance out to 100 yards and manages to disappear itself whenever it hears “is that a new gun”.

It's tough call, but I'd keep my USFT Hunter. Only two O-rings, which are super easy to replace. Very adjustable trigger and power. Quick and easy barrel swaps. Uses a Ninja tank easy to source and replace if needed. Incredibly accurate!

I am now 68 and have owned or currently own lots of both springers, nitro piston and PCP air rifles. Out of them all two stand above all the rest.
Springer..........The HW95. Fun, easy to shoot, and very accurate. My tuned 95 is just as accurate as any 97. After 20 years of practice......Grin!!
PCP.............The FX Crown 2. The supreme invention of mankind when it comes to a PCP. So accurate is can get boring. One inch groups all day every day at 100 yards with weighed and sorted pellets.
So I would keep those two.
If hung up by the thumbs with threat of torture, out of these two I would keep the HW95. Simply more fun.

Out of my three, a Crown 30cal, Impact MKII with 22,25 and 30cal barrel systems at the ready and my Regal 22cal I'd have to keep the Impact with all the options I have.

Only able to keep one?!?!?! Man that is like forcing someone to decide which child is their favorite!
First choice would have to be the RedWolf. I have plenth of batteries for my Rc stuff, so that isn't an issue. And with the 700cc tank on it the shot count is awesome.
Though between the RedWolf and the Theoben MK2 is a hard choice! The Rapid is one of those guns that everyone has wanted for years.

I felt the very same. But I thought before all the rest of the guns I purchased, the fx Royale just does it. Don't get me wrong I like the looks of the Day states better but I'm older and looks more conventional

I will have stick to my Old School PCP.
Chip Smith Designed and Machined Titanium Franken-Rapid MKII.
22" .22 LW Polygonal barrel and Carbon fiber shroud.
Also it has Titanium Air-tube and custom trigger...

It is fitted with a custom tactical chassis from Chip with a MagPul PRS stock....

Definitely my Ernest-tuned Colibri. Best hunting AG I ever had. Powerful, accurate and nimble. If I reflect on the last 5 or 6 years, pound for pound had more fun with this AG than any of the others combined. (Day or night) , and never a hiccup.

That's funny when I was a young man I had that problem. Fell in love with two women. Dated them at the same time like a dope and lost both. No chance your airgun will leave you tho. I loved that analogy.

Chip made a limited number of his tactical chassis for Standard Bottle Rapids. Chip made three runs of them!
Well on his second run, I asked him if he could do something special... I had this Titanium Tube I was planning to use!
He jump on right on it. He it would take about 10 min. of editing his CAD drawing...
Then it was a matter of throwing some raw material on his CNC Mill...
Well the Chip's California Special Tactical chassis was born... rest is history.....
Here are a couple of early photos..before the final anodizing, and before I adapted an AR15 hand grip..
