I now have 4 air rifles - again - and I'm perfectly happy: Updated 6/23/21

Most days I am home after it is already dark. I sneak in some time plinking when I can. When I'm off I'm fixing the house. It is hard to set aside actual time to plink when there is so much to do in my life. Slave to the job. I just started pcps this past July I think. I have a sk19 and a .22 impact compact with a extra 600mm .25 barrel and magazine. I like the chance to have a delta wolf but I must be delusional as right now I only plink in the yard. I need to find some time and room to go beyond 50yds.

I presently have five:

Diana RWS 45 .177 caliber; my very first quality airgun. Original leather seal. Still shoots near specification.

Beeman R1. 20 caliber.

FWB 602 .177. Ten meter single stroke pneumatic.

Air Arms S510 FAC .25 caliber.

FX Wildcat MK2 .30 caliber.

I feel that I’ve captured the range of the airgun experience with these. I could easily go to four but... Nah.

I've definitely downsized my collection. Earlier in the year I had up to 8 ish but realized I only ever shot a couple. Shortly after I started to sell off the ones I didn't use. Realized I'd rather do other things with the money rather than have airguns taking up space and collecting dust. Right now I have a Lelya 2.0, Uragan, TX200 and Gamo 220. That's about the max number of airguns I want honestly.

Since it was on back-order, I cancelled the D460 and bought an Air Arms TX200K (beech wood) from Air Gun Depot. When I asked you folks which one folks thought was best between a TX200 or a Weihrauch hw97K, it was about a 50/50 split, every other person liked one airgun over the other for various good reasons. A lot said that I wouldn't be disappointed with which ever one I got. What swayed my mind with that many said the TX200 shot kind of like a tuned airgun right out of the box, while many said the HW97K often needed a tune – and I know nothing about how to tune an airgun. Mostly I'll just just be target shooting off of a rest and many said the added weight of the TX200 would be a plus. I don't know if this TX200 will shoot as accurately as my FX Royale 400 (a PCP gun shooting 21 gr pellets at 834.5 fps that can place pellets in the same hole at 20 yards) – we'll see.

I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas. I'm from Ga, but am currently in Austin, Texas visiting my oldest son, his wife and my 5- and 3-yr old grandsons. Those two boys wore me out!

I've owned many many different guns and many at once. Back before I was married that was fine had plenty of time to play with and shoot the guns. Then married and now a kid my time to shoot is very little. I've learned simplistic, reliable guns are what I like. And having only a few I know exactly how they all shoot instead of having many to try to remember. Again not for everyone but what I learned I like. Also hate repeat guns they gotta have there own uses.
