    Collecting

    Which marque of air rifle/pistol have you collected the most of?

    I know (and I should apply this to myself) that some people have one example of each of their favourite air rifle/pistol and leave it at that. But is there a gun that if you see at the right price you simply cant tun your back on and walk away

    The reason I ask this is that I have succumbed to yet another FWB Sport on the weekend. Condition 7.5/10 and topped with a Tasco scope I alwasy fancied getting my hands on (cant recall the model number but its the one that goes from 1.75-5x40) My sixth FWB over time. All bar one I still have

    Soooo, what cant you resist

    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 !
