Tuff to say--- if it's pesting small to medium critters- Hands down my daystate Wolverine .303 with the Leupold FFP Scope- it's a Hammer!!
if I'm shooting paper in a competition - the Steyr LG 110 AZ tuned .22 cal- with March or IOA scope---
and hopefully to take me out to 200 yards and beyond - any of my Beaumont's ---.223 .309 or soon to be .45 cal emperor --
but Hell - nothing wrong with My FX 400 synthetic - with a bushnell scope-
so many guns it's a tuff call!

my favorite is my bsa r10 mk2 in .177, large shot count, extremely accurate and quiet. it's been upgraded with a huma reg and 280cc bottle.
my dreamgun, or more so what I want to get my hands on is an original ripley.

I don't own it, but the Air Arms S510 in walnut stock. Why? Because it is beautiful, slim, and classy. I could watch the same videos of people shooting it over and over. I almost feel dirty looking at it so much and had one on a screen saver for a while. If I ever find the money in hand to purchase I would have it in .22. But first I would have my own air filling station, 3 different air tanks (various sizes for different applications) and a 100 acres of hardwoods filled with squirrels, rabbits, and exploding targets. For now my original Marauder in .25 and a hand pump will keep my shooting skills honed. I could probably have all of this if I could just get myself to stop buying shotguns, handguns and reloading equipment.

I know that this thread is over a year old, but I can't help it. My all-time favorite would have to be the .177 Benjamin multi-pump that I had at age 11. It was fun to shoot, and very accurate even with the open sights. I wish I still had it.
My current air gun is a Gamo Varmint in .177. I'm sure I will like it once I master the artillery hold! Seems like a good value for the money.

Taipan Mutant Std in .22. It has been a game changer for me. I also have a Vulcan Tactic in .25, but it has not been used much in the last two months. The Mutant kicks out the JSB 18.13fr pellets at 927-930 FPS and is a tack driver. I get 60+ shots per fill too at that velocity. At 50 yards, it will stack a full magazine worth of pellets into a half inch group or better.
The Vulcan Tactic does this as well, but the trigger, smoothness, and overall quality of the Taipan makes this the go to gun for taking out critters. Sad to say it, I may sell my Vulcan shortly.

This is a tough one for me.
Whenever I think "I like that one the best" another one pops into my head. They all have their unique qualities/abilities that make them special and remain in my collection.
If I HAD to choose one, I think it would (currently) be the Wildcat in .25. It has done a lot for me and I have done a lot with it. It is my go-to rifle for pesting and I'm comfortable with it for competition. Shoulders well, good weight, accurate, Laminate stock looks great, mags load easily and can be loaded while shooting, decent shot count, regulated...
I think a runner up might be my Verminator Extreme MKII .22. That rifle has been lights-out accurate since day 1. But, now there's a new contender for the Silver medal! My new FX 400 is really showing great potential right now. Time will tell...

Old thread, but I haven't answered yet, so what the heck?!
While my .177 Marauder is the most accurate and powerful one in the cabinet, I think the humble little Weihrauch HW30s is my favorite. Why? Because it's just fun to shoot, easy to cock, nicely balanced, and accurate. It can plink, shoot targets, and also take out pests out to about 25 yards.
I've got a TX200 inbound, which may change that, but I'm not so sure. The TX is said to be heavy, and will need a heavier scope to take advantage of its accuracy. Here she is, resplendent in her humble beech (but still pretty) dress. I mean stock.
...and a couple groups from the other day. (shot seated, field target position, no jacket or other support)

I learned to shoot and hunt with a Crosman 101 multi-pump and that was my first favorite... 50+ years later I still have that rifle and am in the process of refurbishing it. 
Have several older model Feinwerkbau rifles 124, 300s and 603 that I am very fond of and shoot regularly.
My "modern" favorites are a pair of Weihrauch HW100s. A .177 for target and plinking and a .22 for pesting and small game hunting. Fit, finish and accuracy are great. Well engineered, solid rifles with a fantastic trigger.

Wolverine B Hi-Lite .22 with Airmax 30SF 6-24X50.
Dream gun is not made yet but its coming at some point and that would be an electronic version of the Wolverine B with carbon fiber bottle and laminated stock.

Walther Dominator 1250 .22cal 40j is my favourite.As I have learned alot from it, I know each and everything abt it and can easily tune it, I can Kill Coyotes,Foxes,Wild Hogs to every small game.I hunt upto 85 yards with it.I don't like any new rifles cause they are new and I'll have to learn them from a very start.

The .22 caliber Air Arms TX200 MkIII. The stock and the bluing are exquisite and the trigger is second-to-none. It performs consistently well and is therefore very predictable. I know exactly what to expect and it's a pleasure knowing that if I do my part, the TX200 will reward me with exceptional accuracy. It's an easy springer to tune or rebuild and maintain. My ideal air gun would be a TX200 that weighs in at 6 lbs rather than 9.3 lbs.

My .25 WARP hands down! Then my .30 Mrod. Oddly enough my .22 Mrod isn't even in the top 2 anymore when it was my #1 for so long. No real reason as to losing its spot besides the .25 and .30 are just funner to shoot things with.
Dream gun...my WARP so I'm set for that one except maybe get a big bottle for it later on down the road and every caliber they offer with maybe a reg for smaller calibers.

A quick update. I got the Air Arms TX200 the other day. Put a few hundred rounds through it, so it's not fully broken in yet. But so far, I still like the Weihrauch HW30s the best. It's more accurate, lighter, easier to cock, and adequate power out to 25 yards or so. I shoot it at 35-40 yards in my back yard sometimes, and it can JUST BARELY stick the pellets in the log I'm using as a backstop.
If the TX200 becomes more accurate in time, I may change my mind. We'll see! The more I shoot, the more I'm impressed with accuracy, and the less with power and everything else.

Wow, 10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards 40 yards Most 30 dollars pellets guns can cover there holes at this distance,
Now I will admit 90% of my shooting is at 48 yards, But I take my guns out to the 100 yard range I set up on my daughters horse ranch,,,
Its where the real guns start to shine, If your not shooting in the 900 FPS bracket the 100 yard shots are like cannon shots with the Hugh hold over,
My 22 and 25 Cricket really out shine my 22 mutant short at this range, Hell my Crossman 760 can shoot a 1/2 inch group at 30 yards, Its a 36 dollar gun!!!!!!!!!!!
