What is one gun you never want to get rid of?

[30clipslinger]

I know as airgunners we are always looking forward to something more. Which airgun really scratches that itch for you that you can never part with?

My favorite of yours is that monster .177 maverick!

You may have me mistaken for someone else. I don't have a Maverick. I do have a .177 Mrod and a .177 DreamTac, as well as a 1701P. The Mrod is the power house of the 3, but I've tuned it down from Beasts at around 900 FPS to Heavies at about 880 FPS.

60 foot pounds in .177.. how long are the projectiles.. what is that a 21gr at 1140? That's insane. I want it.

If I remember correctly he was shooting 24gr solid slugs at like 1020 or 1030

I imagine it looks like a lead golf pencil.

Zans makes some in 22gr and 24gr. I think they look more like the broken tip of a tee stick

I can't stand the thought of not having any of these but if I HAD to keep ONE it'd be the Royale 500, .25 (middle).

It's the shorter barrel that tricks ya. It's also a 300 BAR aluminum bottle so a little thicker and longer than a steel or CF bottle.

I'd definitely hang onto my Air Arms TX200HC in .177 that I've shot in field target hunter in the past and for the past 5-6 seasons in WFTF class. I can get some variety by swapping stocks from a factory lefty walnut, CS1000 lefty or my current diy LP stock.

 

[RM100GUY]

This Huntsman Regal.in .20 caliber comes to mind. Has an above average stock and typical Daystate accuracy. Would have to be pretty hungry to part with this one.

Beautiful

Ok so this is one of those guns that always looked extremely appealing to me. I notice it is very popular as well. The price point made me wonder what is so exceptional about it though. Ik it doesn’t put out much power. Is it just the trigger and accuracy that makes it so pricy? Always been curious about this gun

RAW's were the 100yd benchrest PCP of choice as that is what they are hand built for and each one is tested by Martin the maker. .22 RAW's are 50ft/lb guns but more power can be achieved thru adding external plenums either thru the blanking plug or inline. Their triggers are legendary as is accuracy.

 

[30clipslinger]

My dreamline. My first real higher end PCP. And I believe I was extremely lucky getting a "good one. Not one issue have I experienced. No dreaded "FX POI shift" no failures, the gun is butter smooth, the gun is simple to work on, the gun is very accurate and has more than reasonable power. I know that no matter what I can pull this one gun out and reliably hit my prey and hit it where I want. She's not food picky at ALL. AEA, FX,AA, JSB, JTS, HN Slugs, zan slugs, VK or AVS and it's hole on hole. The gun is solid. Not once do I regret the choice.

Then slapped on a bottle kit, plenum. Disappointingly I didn't transfer more pics into this new phone. Now has a carbon fiber bottle. Dual plenums and a different bipod, grip, scope, stock and internals.

IS NOT ammo picky.

Yes I know you love your Krals! They seem kind of rare. I def would love to own one one day!

Sorry, not picken...just one.

Oh God, here we go….
Just pick a damn gun Mike for heaven’s sake

I've already said that about several guns that I've since gotten rid of. Tastes change. Still have a few more to throw on the chopping block, I think.
But in the spirit of the question, I'll say that I acquired an early DAQ many years back. Serial number 56. Back then, they were .490. This one had been sent back to Dennis for upgrading to the newer bore and some other upgrades. I'd be hard pressed to give that one up, though at first glance it seems nothing special.

Never heard of it. Gonna have to look that one up!

 

[scubajeeper]

It’s got to be my Veteran shorty.22. Just under 24 inches without the mod ( it really doesn’t need one actually) and puts out over 30 ftlbs for 42 shots on the reg. What’s not to love?
