midwest, United States
I'll start. Mine are all .177.
  • Daisy 953 - single pump pneumatic, ~ 400 fps w/7 gr. lead pellet. For short range target shooting and plinking. Has inexpensive 5-shot magazines. Very accurate, and probably my best buy. I have a single piece rear offset scope mount and a 6X "Bugbuster" AO scope.
  • Weihrauch HW30s - Breakbarrel springer, ~ 600 fps with 8 gr. lead pellet. For short range pesting and plinking. Love this gun. It's so easy to shoot, reasonable power for out to 30 yards, and quite accurate.
  • Stoeger X20 - A Chinese rifle with a German name, but it's supported from the US. It was $120 I think? Also quite accurate. Mid-power level, shoots .Crosman Premier Lights (7.9 gr.) at around 900 fps.
  • RWS/Diana 56TH - A German recoilless, side lever magnum spring piston rifle. The action is nice, but I haven't gotten around to finding a mount that won't let the scope move. I think I'm going to re-try the one I have, but with the (cheap but recoil-proof) scope wrapped in emery paper. It's quite heavy. It shoots as hard as my Marauder, but doesn't need separate air. It's really heavy; best from a bench.
  • Benjamin Marauder - A PCP rifle. Very accurate and quiet, and it was a good deal, too. It will drop small game easily out to 50 yards. It's so easy to shoot well, it feels like cheating after shooting springers for awhile. It likes Crosman Premier heavies and JSB Exact heavies.
  • Crosman 1377 "American Classic" - Just a fun little pumper. I've modified it with a new piston and tighter seals for a bit of extra oomph; and the steel breech and bolt. Added a folding stock and 6X Bugbuster. Still, it's not in the same class as the Daisy 953, accuracy wise. I envisioned it as a back-packing gun, but there's nowhere around here to go backpacking where airguns are acceptable.
  • Daisy 717 "Triumph" - Single pump pneumatic target pistol. Great trigger, great indoor gun or short range plinker
  • Crosman 1740 CO2 target pistol - higher power than the 717, but not quite as accurate, on account of having a worse trigger. I'm thinking about putting the 24" barrel on this, adding the shoulder stock, and have a neat little pest bird rifle when I'm done.
I was thinking the other day of saving up and getting a .22 bullpup PCP rifle. But I can't justify it with the amount of larger-than-squirrel animals I shoot in my back yard, and I never get out to do any formal hunting.
 
"peterdulux"And you address too. Scammers can use these very detailed write ups when they are attempting to rip people off.



Well scammers can always google certain price range air guns if they need that type of info. If you don't post pictures or serial numbers and even if you did post pictures. Why even be a member of an air gun forum if you can't share what air guns you have picked up over time? I think at some time most of us will start using a "watermark" when we post a picture of one of our guns?

- Crosman 1377 “American Classic (new one, plastic fantastic, plan to pimp it up a bit in the winter).
- Norica Black Eagle 4,5mm (Spanish beauty that get abused a lot but does her job).
- 2x BSA V-scout (bought them for my nephews, to have to practice/play with when visiting us on the farm, I use them more then them).
- Fx Imapct in cal .177/.25 and .30 ( I named her "Chuma", since it's all black i would be the black plague).

Thinking about getting my claws on a Leshiy or most likely a PP 700S-A, cause of the price and potential to be come a very popular modding project if the time and quality of it will prove it worthy :D

-Benjamin 397 factory sights. I barely use it but when I get the itch to pump it up it's a lot of fun.

-Cummings tool truck B3 underlever. In need of a rebuild as it sat in a friends closet cocked for five years. I'll get to that some day. Before though it was a sweet shooter out to 25yd with the factory all metal open sights.

-Remington Vantage 1200. Open box buy at Dicks ten years ago. The centerpoint scope it came with crapped out around 5000 rounds. The spring not long after. Now it has a macarri super spring with two coils cut off, a shrink tube over the guide to remove twang abd a recajiggered trigger sear for a crisp, repeatable though heavy release. It shoots 7.3 grain pellets around 820fps. I also removed the fiber optic front rod and cut off the back post to improove the open sights. I use it mainly for offhand practice at 15 and 25 yards on full killzone resetable targets.

-AA S500 Custom. My Field Target gun. An air arms S500 in an air arms ultamite sporter stock. Maestro Designs Butt Hook. Huma regulator. Lightened hammer and spring. Aeon 10-40x56 scope. Shoots AA 8.4 at 780fps for 11.4fpe. I love it.

-MROD Air S400. SSP pistol shooting 8.4gr pellets at 350 fps. Very accurate with a great trigger.

All guns are .177.

Never heard of Norica until now. BSAs are kind of exotic in the states. Nice springers, thanks for sharing.

Nice collection! What's the deal with the last one? I have an MROD and it isn't an SSP. Must be heavily modded?

The AA S500... (or S510) that's something I aspire to own one day; a high end PCP. 

Vantage is of course good to keep you in practice with springers and great for plinking. Do you shoot in the springer field target class with it?

Benji 397: this is the one I wanted as a kid, but could only afford a Pumpmaster, hehehe. I should get one, one day. Ever had a scope on it? I hear it's kind of hard to get them scoped.

The underlever looks cool from the one image I found by googling. What class is it, power wise? Looking at the AA TX200, I thought there are not enough side and under lever guns out there.

I'm with GoodToGo , why do anything if ya can't talk poop !!! I have had quite a few airguns right now I'm down to my little yellow FWB mini and that's it .
Sold off all my PCP stuff . But up till an hour ago I had another FWB but its on the way to GoodtoGo house ,;) And got two on the way that need work. Mine shoots so well I haven't found a reason to replace it . Its not pretty or fast but it'll hit where my one eyed ass points it

Feinwerkbau P30 .177 10M air pistol (awesome)
Steyr EVO 10 .177 10M air pistol (perfection)

FX Ranchero .177 Field Target Pistol (excellent, but waiting for a visit to Ernest for regulator, air tube, and barrel swap)
Daystate CR-X .177 Field Target rig w/ all of Alan Zasadny's goodies and tuning (Alan's own gun where he shoots 3/8 inch at 55 yard from FT sitting position - what else could you want?)
Steyr LG-100 .177 Field Target rig w/ all of Alan Zasadny's goodies and tuning (at AZ's getting a Poly barrel and new air-tube and Huma regulator, and air stripper)

Daystate Ultimate Airwolf MCT .22m (perfection)
BT 65 Elite .25 w/ all of Baxter Walton's custom work (shipping soon)

Anchutz ONE 10M rifle
RAW .30 with a couple customizations I've discussed with Martin.

MROD AIR is the company that sells the huben, p12 and other chinese airguns. The S400 is one of the pellet pistols they offer.

The Vantage just doesn't have the chops to work as a target rifle. I would have to spend near what a new tx200 would cost to have it tuned and even then no garaunties it would be good enough.

The B3 was likely shooting sub 500fps with crosman 7.9 wadcutters as it couldn't break a beer bottle most times at 10yds. But it would stack pellet on pellet at said range if I did my part.

Last the 397 will stay open sights. I may get the williams peep sights down the road if I start shooting it more.
