Your favorite air rifle

[Hotbrass]

It depends on what the gun is used for, and the situation. I hunt with them all. Small birds theTX200 .177 is lights out.
Small birds, lovely. Starlings, pigeons and ground squirrels inside of 60 yards head shots, BSA R10 MKII .177.
Career 707 MKII .22, the most versatile gun I have EVER owned. It will shoot 450fps to well over 1100fps with different weight pellets. I shoot below 10 yds and well over 100 yds.
It does not matter, 14gr, 18gr, 21gr, 28gr, it will drive them all home. The ability to turn the power wheel to adjust velocity up or down, the accuracy, power, shot count, what else is there? Nothing I own can do what the Career does. Loaded a Crow Mag and turned the power up. A sparrow was on an old wire by my barn. Lined up the scope, squeezed the trigger. At the shot the sparrow exploded. Its head went airborne. Power,raw power, or turn down the power and the tiger is a kitten.
Cricket .25, powerful, accurate, and fun for the last 3 years.
RAW HM1000X .25 LRT. Only shot it one sitting. Give me some time.

All of my guns are fun.

I would keep this one, Air Arms HFT500 .177, custom laminate stock which fits me perfectly.

I have two PCP and both are great.

These are RAW HM1000X .25 in 60ftlb and .22 in 50 ftlb. 

 

[ledtone]

The one I carry in my truck the most is my Beeman RX 2 22 cal. My Paul Watts tuned R1 22 cal is probably my favorite one to shoot . But it’s tough I love everyone in my collection .

 

[HeyU]

A friend gave me a bb gun looked like a m1 carbine had a barrel you (jacked in and out for lack of better description) one time per shot,turned it upside down to load a bb.I was 10 or 12 at the time.must have been a springer but shot pretty good .My older brother was shooting at a bird on a wire and not realizing he was putting holes in the neighbors window behind us till the cops showed up and that was the last i seen of that one...was my favorite

Ah,(nodding knowingly) those were the days were'nt they.

 

[HeyU]

Well,,,,,,,,,,,,Along time ago,,,,,,,,I bought these expensive under-lever rifles from China,,ain't never'd heard of why rocks,and day states and crickets,(cept in the warm season) back then.They was QB36 out of Shangai.They was heavy but compared to now they r light.The stock has some awful,thick shellac?I put 1 of their scopes on it,a Tech Force 4 x 32,simple and clear. I could'nt have been happier.When shouldered the open sights were right there.The wrist were at a perfect natural angle, the trigger took some learnen but once we both bonded,,oh so sweet. Did'nt mind the boing,did'nt know any better. The pellets had a curve in flight to whatever had the mis-fortune of being in my cross-hairs.Daisy pellets,ate them up like a little kid with candy. I have a few more rifles now that cost a bit more. They're heavier,shoot further and only eat the more expensive candy. But they ain't a natural.Not like my old QB36

Personal preference but the Colibri is my go-to for the last few years. We use them primarily as a close quarters hunting/NV gun , and 18.1 JSB's at 905 fps really thumps them.. Fun during the daytime, too...

[Centercut]

I'd have to say my .22 Cricket mini Carbine. Shoots 18.1s at 865 FPS, gets over 60 shots per 250 bar fill, groups inside of a dime at 50 yards, magazines are inexpensive and hold 14 shots each, trigger is just about perfect, quiet with stock shroud even without moderator, and dead silent with a DonnyFL Tatsu, Koi, or Tonto, shoulders easy and very easy to shoot off hand. Super reliable, never lets me down. ES of no more than 5 or 6 for a 40 shot string with stock Cricket regulator. I have 6 other guns at this time, but when I want to head shot ground squirrels at 95 yards, this is the gun I take with me in the field...

 

[ranedouglas]

......the one ive kept the longest and my usual hunter : .22 benjamin discovery with the usual mods and tko silencer. it's just all i really need in the field, when i take the pony tank in my water hydration backpack and some pellets.. it's an older walnut stocked disco. it was a .177 that i had bought cheap to resell - and i did a caliber change - and i traded a mike melick tuned b26 for a benji pump - and so on and so on . this airgun chose me. over the years , ive sold it and bought it back 3-4 times now. it weighs about 7lbs (maybe) scoped. i only have to fill it to 2000 psi for about 25 accurate shots around 21-22 ftlbs (845 fps avg with 13.5 jsb, or 780 fps avg with 16 grain jsb if it's windy)...........cottontail and eurasian dove sooth my crave for wild, and easy to prepare. ........if i had to choose one - but it chose me....... first run .22 benjamin discovery with basic mods and add ons. - rane on.

 

[Yarddog]

For me...air rifles are like my cigars...I like variety, and they all speak differently to me and fill different slots in my psyche! And I can't say that I have a favorite! Whatever stogie I'm smokin' at the moment is my favorite, and whatever rifle I'm shootin' at the moment is my favorite!

Weird, I know...

 

[Raden1942]

My dads crosman 312 pumper. I am going to find a new valve for that one day. Him and I killed many a pest with that gun. I think id probably love an older sheridan in 20 cal. Ive never shot one but 20 cal seems perfect for those velocities. 

 

[Oregun]

My favorite bench shooting rifle is the RedWolf .22HP. Silky smooth side lever, insane trigger and friggin' accurate. Really dig the electronics!

 

[donwalk]

PCP: 25 cal gen 1 Marauder, 22 cal AF Talondor

springer: 22 caliber HW 90, 22 cal AA ProSport, 22 cal Model 54 RWS

 

[Motorhead]

Would have to be my Gen 1 marauder in .177 fitted with a Cukava stock, JSAR Alloy air tube, WAR valve, LW hammer w/ssg, HuMa Reg and a barrel swap.

Light, Super comfy to handle & shoot, crazy accurate and 95+ shots on a fill while shooting JSB 10.3 @ 920 fps.
