The Huntsman is one great rifle. That little Optisan seems to be the right fit, as well. Do you use it for hunting?
Yes, the Optisan is perfect. I just acquired the rifle so pesting with it now. Will squirrel hunt next Fall. It is one of my favorite rifles. Everything about it feels good and exudes quality. Getting a single shot loader for it in today's mail from Rowan Engineering UK.
 
Okay my compressor is realized.
Now the focus are on getting a proper airgun ( rifle ) instead of my Maverick, even if it seem i have at last made the damn thing ( regulator ) hold air again.
Maverick give me much joy,,,, BUT ! It have also given me much grief. I am looking for something that will just give me joy.

Also, have my eyes on a 30 X scope, i might snag that up before i get a new rifle.

Also X2 i am going to swap some O-rings in my 2012 Cyclone, and shoot that too this summer, thats the FX rifle that have never given me grief.
 
What I'm buying next? The list is long...

I'm putting together a Hatsan order at the moment that I will send in about 2 weeks.
The list below shows everything I'm interested in, I'm not sure yet how many of them I'll be ordering but at least 5 of them.
I'm planning on making a youtube channel for the purpose of properly reviewing air rifles, I'm talking putting at least 5-10k shots trough a rifle before even talking about reliability, accuracy and other things. I don't know of a single youtuber who does what I'd call proper reviews of air rifles, every single one I've seen have been by people shooting the rifle 10-30 times and then gargling the manufacturers selling points... cumformercials is they way I'd describe most of them.

After the Hatsan order I have a number of different rifles I'm interested in and will probably be getting unless they are replaced with the next version of the gun before I can afford to buy it, by the time I can afford a Shout Epoch it might be the 3rd version of the rifle.

In order of priority, all in 6.35mm:
Altaros M24
Airforce Texan LSS (no 6.35mm version of this rifle, if I can get one depends on if I can get a gun license, currently appealing a denied application)
Airforce Talon Bolt
Air Venturi Avenge-X Tactical
Skout Epoch
FX Panthera (owned one that I sold before I even got to shoot it so thinking of getting another one to compare with the Altaros M24).

Other than airguns I want to get one of those new 9000psi compressors that will be released in a few months. If it can pump 9k then 4500psi shouldn't be a problem.
I also want to buy a laser cutter so I can make a unlimited size magazine for the Hatsan Blitz, it's really simple to do.
Also thinking about a 3D printer as I've been working with 3D for years as my dream was once to become an animator.
Thinking about making some 3D animations to explain gun and airgun concepts and terms so they are easy to understand.

As I don't make a lot of money I'll focus on making really in depth reviews instead of pumping out many useless ones. After putting 5-10k shots trough a rifle I'm not sure there would be much value in selling the rifle. It'd probably need new liners/barrels and new seals as those will probably be heavily worn.
Because I intend to do proper reviews I doubt airgun manufacturers would send free guns for review as I intend to point out the Good, Bad and Ugly with each rifle as well as point out Bullpoop Manufacturers say (like this is a 1450 fps break barrel*)................*.with low weight alloy ammo no one would ever use...
Afaik you can't make money on youtube with videos about anything "gun" related so I'll have to finance it some other way. Borrowing someones rifle doesn't really work as I intend to put so much ammo trough it.

Basically I'm bored, want to do something with my time, I enjoy shooting, engineering, computer graphics and design.
