Special mentions: Jackal Parabellum, Sterling HR81, Crosman 2200. Not great guns, but kind of nice to mess around with from time to time.
Less special mentions: Gats, RO71/72, some other cheap Daisy things, B2, B3, couple of Gamos, assorted other older springers.
Considering the amount of rifles that enter and leave my ownership, I keep very few at one time.
Current rifles
Crosman 2250 modified (had this for about 9 years)
BSA Ultra SE single shot .177 (had for 3-4 years)
BSA Ultra SE multi .177 (recent secondhand purchase, currently being blueprinted by Mr Bowkett)
Hogan Ripley Elite .177 (recently bought new - the last .177 available)
Diana 280 pro .177 (owned for a couple of years now and will remain my only springer)
Steyr Hunting 5 Scout (manual in .177)

You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

Ok.. fhew!!! I feel better now. There was me thinking that getting a 4th rifle was on the greedy side of airgun ownership.!! Don't think I'll get any more than that though..... I'd never shoot them all! My evo only ever comes out at the bash as it is!!

I bought a blunderbuss and it was a revelation, suddenly all my other guns paled in to insignificance...

I can't stop cuddling it. My wife suspects.
Get yourself a blunderbuss.
Thats stunning, is it V-Mached ?
“An airgun or two”………
It was at 10.9 when I got it. I pumped it up in case it was leaking . 5 or 6 pumps and it was doing 13.2 tap on the valve and it dropped to 11.9. Another few taps and it settled at 11.5.
Only tried super domes and air arms pellets that the name escapes me . They were my mates pellets.
Got a few in pieces, as usual...
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation
