My thought is people are still using the vintage guns , those are what i look for when I'm buying and actually my new guns are the ones in the safe only taken out sometimes. Safe queens = AAs510 , Daystate Pulsar , Morini 162IE maybe shot once in 2 or 3 weeks and maybe 20 pellets .
Am currently using this vintage THEOBEN MFR sweetheart ... retrofitted with a custom Balanced valve shooting 28-30 fpe in .177 caliber. Love It !!!!!!!!!!
