    My biggest regret was a absolute mint sharp ace in .177 with a lovely stock and factory screw cut half inch unf beutifally blued and only shot less than half a tin from new, had been stored for most of its life, pumped and shot silky smooth 😩😩😩 I really really miss that gun and regret letting it go ☹️

    First air rifle owned

    There was a very good reason to sell the first air rifle I owned, an HW80 in .22. But find 30+ years later I regret not still having it. The consolation is that I still have the Zephyr 77 I p'exd the HW80 for.

    ISP Spartan, first and only one Shaun did with a matt black action. Sold it when I went FAC and needed to fund some powder burners, I stupidly thought I'd never use an air rifle again...
    My GC2 MK3 with Kobayashi stock and 18-40 efr scope. Sold for pittance when I started spending more time kickboxing. Can't believe I practically gave away such a lovely piece in favour of getting punched and kicked in the head...
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    I sold an Air Arms TX200 nearly 16 years ago. Always regretted it, so much so that I went and bought another one last week at nearly 2 and a half times the price of my first one. Also regret letting go an HW35 around 20 years too

    Regrets

    I had 1 of the 1st HW90 Euro TB, that had a stunning walnut stock & blueing a mile deep it was gorgeous, also a circa 1980 HW35 Export, 22" barrel & Luvly walnut stock, and what I believe was a mk1 Scan bill pup, why do we do it&😭
    ok, I admit it, I've got a problem.

    Same gun I let go after after buying new at age 17, kept it for 25years as my main hunting rifle. Still don't know why I sold it.

    An FWB sport MK 1 with no mods about 83 ...i think it probably was the best all round springer back then and even now no surpassed unless tuned.
