What Airgun do you have that you would never get rid of for any reason?

Keeping up with the Haley rifles... My Jack Haley QB78 22cal PCP bought that from him in his early stages of building them.
My Mac1 QB22 co2 rifle. One of my favorite co2 rifles ever!

I stupidly sold my extended bulk Qb22 when I switched to PCPs. It was an amazing gun and I still regret it.

My OLD Daisy 717. after all these years it still shoots well. Nobody in my family would give a darn about it, sadly.

Actually at the moment I want to get rid of all my PCPs.....in bulk.
My Steyr pro x 10 - easy to manage, very accurate and purty! However I’ve just acquired 2 Martin Rutherford RAWs and they are simply beautiful beasts with purpose!

Although I am thoroughly attached to each of my airguns, my Air Arms TX200 MKIII is by far my favorite. It's like an especially talented child that you hold close. The rest of my airgun household includes the following: Seneca Dragonfly MK2, Sheridan MB2260, Colt 1911 CO2 pellet pistol, Sig Sauer P360, Baretta 92FS, Colt SAA Revolver pellet gun. You'll note that each of my pistols/revolvers are military replicas. Orv.

I will probably never sell my .177 FX bobcat mk1. Not that it is more accurate ,or better than my other guns (but still a nice gun). But it was the first pcp air rifle I got, and where I started my journey, so it has nostalgic value to me. I will probably sell a couple of others, as I have to many guns now, and can not justify keeping them all.

Always a tough question and my answer moves around as much as my mood but AT THIS MOMENT it's my R9. I started this airgun journey with it in 2007. It will do most everything I need or want with an airgun, which is for pure entertainment in my backyard
I recently took this picture of it so here it is. Love the light on it!

The last one I would part with would be my 1322 pcp. Just for the fact that I couldn't make another one if I wanted, and it's got a lot of hand fitting that I did personally. As well as one particular part that a departed forum member made for me.

What stock is that?Kalibrgun Cricket Carbine in .22:
View attachment 315609
Yes, "fiddly" magazine insertion/extraction and all.
It's a tweener for sure, in no man's land for competition (any of which I'm aware)- at ~30 fpe it's illegal for AAFTA field target, underpowered for XFT, & it's ammunition (16 or 18 grain JSB) is ill suited to bench rest competition unless there is ZERO wind. May also be considered underpowered for hunting, depending on the quarry & distance involved.
So why my ultimate keeper then?
- plenty powerful for any critter/distance combination I shoot at
- 6k+ pellets & not one inexplicable "flyer"
- relatively easy to work on should it need resealing, etc
- fits like a glove; LOP, trigger reach, cheek weld, & balance are all spot on for me- couldn't get a better fit if I paid for a full custom rifle
- relatively cheap to shoot (the JSB 16 it gets fed most is competitive with .177 pricing)
- if something weird crops up, it's backed by the knowledge & service of @Frear42-_.
Being ate up with field target means she won't be the most used in my modest air arsenal going forward. On that note, the Wolverine could easily have taken this spot... many of the same qualities. But the Cricket was here first, and you did say only one

It's the factory stock for the Cricket Carbine (full "rifle" length; the Mini Carbine is a semi-bullpup). Pretty sure its stained beech- not walnut, but still a good looking stock in my opinion.
As best I can tell, Georgia Airguns is the only dealer in the US carrying the Carbine. Have seen the Mini Carbine at AOA & Palm Beach Airguns as well.

Redwood! It's unfortunate that I had to come down. That one and a pine but the round that you see is redwood

Might catch crap for this... But probably my m3. I absolutely love it.
And I wouldn't sell it not because it isn't replaceable... But when you start adding this and that... Arca rail.. top rail.. cheek riser.. barrel options... Carbon shroud and tensioner.. I'd never get enough for it to be worth it.
The hot rodded Benjamin Bulldog would be the first to go. Mostly because it's a goofy shape and takes up too much room in the safe

My Crossman 766 American Classic that I got in 1985. Paid a friends' brother $40 for it as my folks would not let me have one. Hid it for months rolled up in an old homemade sailboat sail/mast. Thought I lost it/dad found it and chalked it up as gone, but found it there when we were moving. Still have it and shoots like it always did..after a little TLC.
