What are your favorite airgun "features"?

[mtnGhost]

Aside from precision accuracy, what do you guys and gals consider to be your favorite features / attributes of any given airgun? 

My personal favorites would be the:

• EVOL's barrel tension system
• Leshiy's compact, lightweight, and versatile design
• External regulator adjustment and ease of caliber swap capabilities in all FX rifles
• Taipan's build quality/robustness

 

[Hynzie]

Taipan anti double load and trigger

 

[Long_Gun_Dallas]

Any type of external adjustments, especially ones that have defined, widely varying presets. Anything that saves weight and adds rigidity (cnc billet monoblock, tensioning shrouds, ect)

Being able to swap caliber without removing the sight or taking the whole gun apart 

 

[vmaxpro]

Threaded reciever to barrel

adjustable transfer port is a big one for me

 

[Glem.Chally]

Adjustable valve dwell, being able to adjust the reg up or down with pressure in the gun. Easy caliber swaps.

 

[RM100GUY]

Taipan: trigger system, solid build, I like the single shot and mag system, and with the aftermarket hammer adjuster, easy to change power levals. Poi is consistent.

Huntsman: classic design, light weight, reliable, easy to work on, easy to shoot offhand, mine aren't pellet fussy. Somewhat affordable for what you get.

Wolverine r .177 standard: high shot count, very consistent, beautiful classy appearance, nice trigger.

Streamline .22: three repeatable power levels, nice feel when shouldered, no "advertising" carved on the laminate stock, high shot count especially on lower powers, metal trigger guard, nice classy appearance.

Bobcat Mkll .25: reliable, high shot count on both powers big airtube and not a bottle, easy gun to shoot accurately, very quiet as from factory...and powerful.

 

[TeOh1776]

My Impact: being able to swap over calibers extremely easy. Most upgrades are backward compatible. Pinpoint accuracy (even hit a PVC pipe at 235 yds) Easy tuning, High cap mags, and finally being able to work rather easily/quickly with their Technician support. 



Crossman Classic .177: Availability, strength, on the go no air just pump for those emergency shots  

 

[dizzums]

i dont need alot of fluff, the more simple and elegant the better .. lightweight is up there with important .. so is a well thought out design .. as an example, having trouble mounting a scope where i want it because of a mag is an issue ..

 

[Vetmx]

I like a gun that is ergonomically comfortable to shoot. Don’t like having to learn to shoot a gun. I like a gun that absolutely does not move when you squeeze the trigger. No vibes or weird harmonics that wreak havoc with the slow firing cycle of an airgun. Adjustability and a reliable consistent reg. I have yet to find a gun that has all of these in one package. Some are closer than others.

 

[Saltlake58]

Adjustability, If I was into powder burners, I'd be reloading for accuracy, Adjustable airguns just seem easier

No recoil - had a nasty flinch with high powered rifles, gone with airguns.

Variety of ammunition - slugs or pellets, shoot either depending on gun tune.

 

[Healthservices]

Large 28 round and easy to replace magazine 

 

[douger]

large mags easy to adjust compact and most of all very accurate

 

[Matt247365]

Of all of the many wonderful features of the Tiapan Veteran, my favorite is...

R E L I A B I L I T Y

 

[intenseaty22]

On all my Springers: Simplicity, Ease of maintenance at home, & Self contained power source.

Kalibrgun/Taipan Ruggedness, Power range with just a hammer spring adjustment, and Reliability. *Forgot...Stupid simple magazines. And on the Taipan specifically Anti-Double Loading. 

 

[sticman77]

Crosman/Airforce - easily modifiable to be the gun I want... after spending some money

Easy to modify = Easy to fix = Easy to learn

...we will see what sort of answer i give once i'm more comfortable working on more complicated systems

 

[Parrotculler]

Consistency, air efficiency, balance, and ergonomics. Sweeeet trigger. Air gauge at the bottom or the side of the stock. Cost effectiveness. Tunability.

 

[stoti]

Of course, accuracy, power reliability, but you know that...

Adjustability on the fly, magazine capacity, good trigger, pellet/slug accuracy out of the same barrel, modularity.

Stoti

 

[dapoun]

Built in 20 or more moa in picatinny scope rail.

Adjustable seating depth for bullet or slug shooting.

easy barrel removal.

magazines that accept the maximum length projectile the twist rate can stabilize. 

1cc per fpe plenum that also matches projectile weight and twist rate limitations.

robust build quality.

 

[Greenarrow]

Compact

Quiet

Sidelever

Simple magazines (like Wildcat I/II)

High Shot Count/Efficiency

User Serviceable

 

[Airgun-hobbyist]

Quality hardened and polished barrel material and a structurally sound threaded attachment to the receiver.

A platform capable of reaching 1200 fps no matter the caliber or weight of projectile, and without having to be maxed out on regulator pressure.
