Okay let's see what started you down this rabbit hole. Here's mine, first air rifle after my Daisy 880. Started as a used P34, I found a wood stock for it, repurposed the 4-32 scope that came on it when i bought it to my 880 and put a $24 dollar Tasco 3-12x42 on it with a RWS one piece mount. I was going to sell it but after today I am not so sure. I have acquired 3 pistols and 11 other rifles since this adventure started about 7 years ago. First gun I tore down, cleaned up, deburred, installed a plastic piston liner and relubed, all OEM spring, seal and guide. Haven't shot it since I put the Tasco scope on it over 2 years ago. After turning a few knobs here's what I ended up with, 5 shots @25 yards. As good as I can do with any of my tuned Weihrauchs.

Darn nice shootin'. That Tasco will probably hold up to the task . Say what you want , those are tough scopes. I put a 3x9 on my Son's Gamo (220 )years ago and its still holds zero.

For myself it was attending a field target match to watch and ask questions. I was handed a rifle so that I could participate. It was the first time shooting anything in 5 years. I shot a 31/60 and was totally hooked. A month and a half later I had a BRK Ghost and a Daystate huntsman revere safari and a Daystate redwolf midnight.

In my post adolescent stage, it was a Crosman 1322 back in 1988. I was a broke college student from the country looking for any way I could find to put lead down range in the city. I could shoot it in my apartment with just a pump or 2. I lived within a few miles of the old Oxford book store in Atlanta, and once I discovered the British airgun magazines, it was all in for me.

I had a couple of Daisy's when I was a kid. I'm a couple months away from 60 now.
I bought a cheap Hatsan on this site in early 2021 due to raccoons tearing up my deck and shed and rabbits using my yard as a nursery.
Pure chance led me to seeing a few Orion YouTube video's and off I went.
I quickly got hooked and immediately upgraded and expanded to several different rifles.
I'm also an avid PB shooter and liked the ability to go in my backyard and shoot away for pennies per shot whenever I felt like it.

I'd say what started it was the 13xx. I had a number of airguns over the years. But being older now, I recalled having a 1377 when I was younger and always wanting to modify it. Never had any money to do so in those days. So, I got a 1322, and threw the works at it. Then started buying/modifying pcps. The 1322 has seen multiple revisions over the past few yrs. I also built another pcp 1322... All downhill from the point I got this one, lol.

Yeah, way back when I had a Daisy, heck who didn't back in the 50's early 60's. Back then I bought a Daisy 717 pistol modified the trigger, but the sights were horrible, still have it. The real problem started when I volunteered to eliminate ground squirrels at a Horsemans Association, I thought I could do it with a .22, yeah, not happening, so I bought a A17 the laser of rounds, perfect for 100yard shots, got 18 my first outing, only problem is a dog near the place hated gun shots, so....being the genius that I am I thought I'd try an air rifle. Not knowing a darn thing about them I got a Remington Nitro, ABSOLUTELY unable to hit a sheet to paper at 10 yards, turned out the barrel was bent, straighten it out and was an ok shooter but LOUD and still not good enough, so...enter the Rabbit Hole® Got a Zbroia Sapsan, ok rifle but a regulator issue sent it in for repair the same time that Putin decided to go see the sights in Ukraine. Months went by no fix on gun so....bought a FX Maverick VP .25, got it working ok, got a pre-destroyed Maverick .25 Sniper from a member here that had bought it from someone who should never ever be near anything mechanical, turned it into a .22 compact and fixed the stuff the first owner had FU'd, After a bit over a year both are tack drivers at 100 yards and the Ground Squirrels at the horseman's association are, well, greatly reduced. To make matters worse, I'm down the PCP Pistol branch of the Rabbit Hole® Bought a Tequila gun, awesome build quality, not a bad shooter and getting better.
