0! And that's just what I spent. This year I already spent my budget of $140 on a refurbished hatsan 125.

I know from the posts through this year that at least 50% of you are completely lying.
For me I’ve bought and sold a lot of guns. Do I deduct the sale price from the purchases? Really though it’s no one’s business but mine. I enjoy the hobby and spend within my means.

Oh if only they all were …..
I remember a while back a metal fabricator / engineer postulated that actual cost … even for the most expensive rigs , sans electronics , could be done for under 100.
So she has a point, maybe.

I buy the stuff I want because I could get ran over by a bus any day. The problem I face is that the bus never shows up.

Anyone remember Will Piatt?

My budget was going to be $3000 for a March 10-60...but the budget committee said "NYET!" (it never showed up for Xmas and never showed up for my b-day)
So I'm in the process of re-submitting my proposal for this year.
Just thinking outside the box...go fund me? might need to seek some charity groups to help push this thru the budget committee.

I didn't buy any airguns in 2022, but I bought a $7k thermal scope, a bunch of pellets and slugs, and some red dots and a pile of fancy mounting hardware. Oh! And the March Shorty 1-10x. So probably about $15k over the year.

It can be a “deep hole”… I don’t shoot competitions, use to, but ran out of that kind of time. Also my use of PCPs is very specific, plinking and pesting. My early years were spendy, 7 PCPs, SCBAs, fill station, HPA compressor. Through use I’ve determined my needs, and decided that 10K+ in Airguns and sundries was not feasible or necessary for what I do with airguns. To that end I only have 3 PCPs, two Atomic XRs and a Crosman 1701p. The stable is open to new comers, but the bar set by my trio is very high. So less than $13 in pellets per month = lots of shooting.

I don’t know, don’t want to know so I don’t care. I had three refurbished and bought 8 more, some new and a few restored classics. I’ve enjoyed some match shooting but it’s safe to say one of those $4k comp rifles isn’t in my future.
