to the maker of the rifle I keep staring at telling him it means the best rifle in spring air I had ever experienced in my life.
I had lost my Great Dane yesterday at the hospital.
It was the time in my life I felt and did feel I HAD THE BEST DOG in the universe and couldn't have him anymore so he had to go back to god who made him.
The other thing is my wife is totally broken up too and his name was Marmaduke like the comic strip Marmaduke a Fawn Great Dane Puppy Boy doing things like eating up all the snow in the backyard--you know what I mean!
I loved him most and above most human beings in the short time he was here for 6.5 years.
He would come outside anytime I shot an air rifle and I have not been shooting one yet after he went.
I think I will step out onto the porch and honor him again with the usual shooting at 35 yards off hand. He'd watch me and he'd wander around the entire yard feeling he was home with me shooting any air rifle including the Hector Special in .20 Sidelever D54.
I looked at Hector's Diana Air King .20 he made for me and the tradition of marksmanship concentration meditation carries to make the rifle a bigger thing than what others or most do not desire in their lives today for the sake of cost.
But the cost in getting it right the first time beats all the draining repeats to replace anything.
I can't replace Marmaduke.
I can't replace anything made so specialized to the world and I will never try.
The springer or sidelever or break barrel where the air tank is IN FRONT in action during air and spring release is like SENDING A ROCKET TO THE MOON.
Everything has to be aligned and set right.
All other air rifles with PCP or stroked PCP or pumped air are NOT the solution to accuracy. PCPs require constant air pressure for consistent accuracy. Stroking a sheridan or benjamin or crossman to 12 or 8 pumps is just wearing out the joints of the thing before it has the time to wear in with internal pressure and pellet choice.
Get the springer air rifle from the beginning and buy all the rest alongside it and see for yourself if what I am saying about a quality springer is wrong in investment over the china pump syndrome.
