    A Falke 80 is a good choice, only made 400 or so, classic, robust design and a pleasure to shoot and own. See the Falke website run by Garvin.

    If it is for the very long term, a Feinwerkbau 300 in pristine condition would be a good choice as they are seriously undervalued at the moment.

    A BSF B55 or Park RH91/93 seem to be getting rare as well, both very nice guns.

    'Investing' in an airgun is as daft as investing in a classic car though!

    Hi, If looking for an investment, You need, Rarety, Quality & Provenance,
    I am selling up ( Yes really ) It might take a while, But Yes, Ha ha,
    I have these,
    Pic-
    They are Robin Chainey Handmades, The twin barrel is a Wildcat, No 3 of only 3 made,
    The other is a BAR , no 7 of 16 made,
    How do they shoot ! The Bar is probably over the top & the Wildcat is lower !
    Quality , Ok, But not the greatest, But will shoot forever .
    Rarety !!!!!!! You will never see another pair,
    I was told, As soon as they were made, An airgun dealer bought them & put them in the loft !

    In 1995, The BAR was £550 !
    I am selling up ! I would put a Price on these of £900, ( The pair ) But in this market,
    As allways, Open to offers,

    Cheers, Ged.

    Investment Classic

    If you buy something as a collectable investment it should be boxed, complete and unmarked. Then the problems start. It needs to be stored correctly, any marks can knock lumps from the value, even the tiniest of marks and it isn't mint anymore. Better off buying something you can use, enjoy it, don't abuse it and you will get your money back when you come to sell it.

    My advise for what its worth : don’t buy any airgun as an investment. Buy what you want to own or what you like.
    I like Airsporters, Webley III’s and Services. Makes for a boring air rifle rack though!!
    Airgun laws could change and knock the values of airguns for six.
    Get a Shotgun license and buy a nice original English S/S, an early Browning B25 or something similar.

    Ultimate airgun investment? Pre 1st war, British and mint, bought for a fraction of its value at your local flea market. You can't go wrong, so buy as many as you can afford....!
