    Question If you needed to reduce your collection...

    ....What would be the one gun you'd keep & why?

    (Doesn't have to be a collectable, it might even be a modern gun if that's what you'd hold back as your keeper.)

    No problem answering that - My Airsporter!

    Just don't know which one!

    If I could only keep one it would be my Crosman 600 - and I say that as an avid Webley collector!

    I'm with Airsporterman on this one. One of BSA's finest, probably a Mk I. Pure nostalgia.

    My BSA breakdown. It was my father's, before he gave it to me many years ago, and I often borrowed it before that. I have a photo somewhere of my dad posing with it, circa 1937.

    A Vulcan.

    No other gun combines everything I need as good as the Vulcan; its accurate, powerful enough for what I think airguns should be capable of, easy cocking, durable, relatively compact, not too noisy, has good build quality, and is easy to work on.

    Hmmmmm,

    Not so difficult this one. In the bin would go the Air Arms, BSA's, Career's, Diana's, Daystate's, Falcon's, Feinwerkbau's, Original's, RWS 500, Sharp Innova's (even the one with the Frenchi stock) and the Ace's, Theoben's, Webley's and the Weihrauch's.

    The keeper would be the RWS 50, ok not a collector and made by Daystate but simply the best handling rifle I have ever picked up
