    Original/Diana. Plus anything else interesting that I like the look of. Usually tend to be German also. I make sure they all get used- no cabinet queens.

    I also picked up an old Tasco 1.75-5x 40 PA quite recently. It's a goodie.

    Had a few Sports now, down to two, but every time I see one I'm tempted.
    Park Rifles for me, can't resist them.
    A few, very few, scopes I can't resist either.

    For me its rifles that tack drive,scopes that are very bright.
    Been through most of the rifles I lusted over years ago. Had them and passed them on; most weren't half as good as the hype they had.

    Hello,

    I find it very hard to resist Webley air pistols even though I have ample examples including quite a few duplicates. Just can't bring myself to part with any of them.

    German - HW, BSF, FWB, Anschutz, Walther, and a sprinkling of Falke rifles. I have a few BSAs (S type) and a few Webley Rifles (Vulcan. Omega, Mk3, Longbow) just to compare how much better the German stuff is.

    BSA Airsporters like many others.
    Collected quite a few and sold most.
    Only got three now ;
    RB2 .177.
    RB2 .22 Carbine.
    RB2 .22 Stutzen.

    Don't collect specific makes anymore, today, I see a gun, anything that takes my fancy and I buy it !
    Must shoot well though !

    Couldn't agree more. HW77's seem to be my weakness. 5 at the last count. One, possibly two may have to go as part of a much needed prune. But which? I always said to myself I will have the discipline to let a rifle go, when either storage, the missus, incoming rifles
    or cash became an issue. But it is much much harder than I thought making that decision. I won the local target comp one week with the 0.22 with a 47/50 at 35 yards. So... all are tac drivers

    1. HW77 MK1 0.177 full length with venom mod and original cocking lever. Venom Vantage stock. Complete re-black and V-mach kit upgrade.
    2. HW77K Mk2 0.177 lazaglide with custom under lever and venom Varminter stock.
    3. HW77 Mk1 0.22 Air Masters stalker tyrolean. V-mach.
    4. HW77 Mk2 0.177 V-glide mamba shrouded. venom Hunter tyrolean stock. (WIP - so a keeper)
    5. HW77 Zephyr 0.177
