I know this is a loaded question. Many folks on the forums have many many air guns. I have caught the bug as well. That being said, I been having thoughts about trying to optimize/reduce my gun selection to just 1 or 2 guns. Every gun seems to have its advantages. The Edgun Leshiy is compact. The impact has swap out barrels, accuracy, and shot count. The texan/bulldogs have power but low shot counts. The list desires goes on and the collection list goes on.
I currently came across a guy who has just one big bore (.357 Bulldog) for all his hunting needs, squirrels/rabbits,pigeons and coyotes. Now a big bore is kind of controversial for smaller game. I was shocked to see how well it worked for all his cases. He was able to hunt smaller game with minimal issues/clean projectile body pass.
I understand there are some limitations like barns and inside traditional yards not really possible. The fact that most of my hunting is in a real open hunting areas allows me some flexibility.
So my question is how do you go about deciding to sell some of your airguns ? How do you let go and feel confident you wont want them back lol?
I am thinking about having 1 small bore and 1 large bore. The thoughts of large bore are a bit confusing when thinking about taking coon and coyote size animals. I know smaller bores can do this but seems like there are serious limitations to smaller bores taking larger animals like coons and coyotes especially with distance greater than 75 yards.
Your thoughts welcome?
How do you decide what stays in your cabinet ?
