Thanks. I have found that as I have read up on these guns, many rifles which I would not have given a second look to are becoming appealing.

I think this is largely due to learning and having much more of an appreciation of their quailty engineering as well as realisng that these older guns can really hold their own with guns made decades later.

I got back into airgunning after many years and was at first mesmerized with all the new gadgets and innovations which had come along and basically put these older guns out of mind when it came to collecting. Now after joining the bbs and reading and seeing pictures of these rifles I find I do not want the latest PCP etc and have started to just concentrate on these.

Always been more of a springer man and have even started to get rid of most of my co2 pistols for springers like the fwb65.

Have even got into the older target rifles which at one time I found ugly as sin
