I am kind of surprised that the one gun I reach for the most (at least lately) is this cheap little Beeman 2027 in .177.
Ridiculously inexpensive ($118), appears to be very well made, good trigger, easy to see "dayglow" sights and it shoots tighter groups than my Prod / Marauder pistol. Easily swapped between pistol and rifle configuration with the Buck Rail kit and a $20 moderator also from Buck Rail to make it even more quiet. The only thing I don't like about it is the gigantic wood pistol stock which was replaced within days of receiving it.
Not that I regret any of my airgun purchases - I enjoy shooting all of them - but if I was given the opportunity to start over from scratch, I would definitely take it and would probably not buy any of the guns I now own or have had the opportunity to shoot extensively, other than the Beeman 2027. As for other guns to get besides the Beeman, probably a Thomas with a benchrest and FT stock and some kind of wood stocked bullpup hunting / FT gun with an externally adjustable regulator and hammer spring, with the option to switch calibers including but not limited to .177, .22, .25, .30 and .35 cal.
5 Shots - Meisterkugeln FT style with a bucket seat and bipod
3-9x Bugbuster at 16 yards.
