If you started from scratch now as far as airguns (but you know what you know), what would you do differently? I ask because of curiosity, and to tap into some of your experience. Thanks,
I would have gone directly to AirMaks Katran(s) for all my shooting needs. A Standard bottle.22(400mm) tuned low for rats & short range pest birds. A Long bottle .22(520mm)
for all around shooting & longer range pest birds . And last , a Long bottle HP .25 for groundhogs. AND a GX compressor ( liquid cooled) ! I have the .22 Long
bottle that I purchased a few years ago & a HP version ( UA moving sale , came last week) and a .25 Long BHP I got a few weeks ago( again, the UA sale). The
GX compressor is my main unit , w/ a ROVAIR backup( that puked & had to be rebuilt

) and I have two Hill handpumps , a MK4 ( original air source) & a MK5. The ROVAIR & a hand pump stay in the vehicle for field use , the GX4 is in the Man Cave, along w/ the old MK 4 pump. I try to pump a tube gun up everyday for some cardio( yeah ,I'm nuts!). I do have Stoegers Rangers & a Bullshark (tubes) that have done a good job for the $$. The Katrans are not complicated to adjust the hammer as are the Stoegers, this is ALL I want to mess with, other than a few tweaks on the trigger screws (6-8oz Katrans & 1~lb Stoegers). Oh , I did pick up a 90ci CF tank some time back for ?? just to have , used it twice , once for a friend & once for me. Honestly tanks aren't my thing. All scopes are 4x16 & 6x24 ,some FFP , but all $300-$450. I won't spend more for any glass except range-finding Binos.
