After almost 30 years...

I decided to gift myself an air rifle for Christmas this year. Decades ago when I was a kid, I was given a Crosman Pumpmaster, which I succeeded in wearing it completely out in short order. I have a small varmint/rodent problem that I have been wanting to extinguish, and I didn't want the neighbors being bothered by the reports from my powder-burners. So I spotted the Crosman F4 NP for sale at Wally-World for under $80 and I "took a shot" on it. I must say, I was naive to how airgun technology and production have changed in the last 30 years. After breaking this thing in, I am impressed with the velocity and accuracy of it. I also forgot how fun it is plinking and only having to spend just over $0.01 per shot, very neat.



Happy New Year

Your story sounds very familiar. Had them as a youngster and then 40yrs later bought a break barrel at Walmart on a whim. Yup, hooked.

Yeah its the first air rifle i remember shooting, my cousin had one and a big yard. We shot it quite a bit if its the one im thinking that can shoot bbs too? And a 5 shot pellet clip i believe.

We shot at animals sometimes and i got a pigeon and i remember seeing blood running out his neck. And he got a rabbit, sweet guns forsure.

Nice. As the weather warms you might consider grabbing a QB78s at the same store for ( around here ) $79.95 a truly outstanding value in airguns.

Yep, same story as me. Trust me any cost savings are an illusion. Prepare to start spending.
