Benjamin Not the latest and greatest

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I’m not an early adopter of the latest anything. I prefer to let others work out the bugs because anything new is going to have a few problems. I have several air rifles and a few rimfires that are 40+ years old and do everything I ask of them. Got a few current air rifles too and they’re great but the classics have a history. Who knows where they’ve been, what they were once used for, who learned how to shoot with one of them? Damn I’m getting old.

I was running my nearly 23 year old FX Tarantula over the weekend, punching 1/4 inch holes at 50 yards. Old and looks new.
Even more, I was using the nearly 23 year old Swift scope that came on the gun. Perhaps most historic, the gun is from Airguns of Arizona when they were selling PCP guns from a tire shop back in 2002
Nothing wrong with running a gun that has a history. Gives it character.

Maybe the latest is a need for some one who is in competition like in those air gun events that go through the year in order to be n stay on the top .. but I don't compete n never will I'm the guy who is happy shooting alone , so if is accurate it works for me . Even my single shot condors are enough for what I use them ..
