What airgun do you really want but are putting off acquiring ?

I would love to add a benjamin armada to my collection, but no way is that a £1000 gun...

Yes. Have to agree. Same reaction to Edgun Leishy.......for a single shot.....its a heavy price.

Fantastic design though isn't it? Robust, super compact and simple.

Yes its genius in its simplicity but jeez.....you are not far of an FX impact which...if it actually worked reliably and wasnt fiiltted with the stupid smooth twist barrel would blow it out of the water

Always wanted a Whiscombe as the ultimate in springer engineering: I had the cash available just as John announced he was stopping making them. I was later offered a barrel-loading version for a good price and turned it down - WHY??!!

Now, any variant of John's work is going for ultra silly money and beyond my pocket.

Having owned three Whiscombes I found them very tricky beasts and as rifles to shoot rather than stroke they leave me pretty unmoved.. Sure they are really well made which is great. Ignoring the price-impossible I know but try-the double cock for legal limit and triple cock needed for FAC rated rifles is a real pain. In particular the triple cock for what is a hunting rifle is just daft. In the time it took you to cock your 27 ft lb JW80 a PCP would've let off three shots at least. I know which one I'd rather take hunting.

I would like a Crosman 2250 XL and then slowly over time bling it up. I find I dont shoot the guns I have so Iam just going to make one look good, in my eyes any way.
cheers

If you have the Crosman itch, its very hard to resist.
If you plan to keep it, do it.

But beware.
They quickly eat up lots of money that you will never recover and you'll quickly find yourself in the financial territory of a nice PCP.

The xl is a very handy little tool out of the box. We've had a 2250b that was modded to XL spec (steel breech and longer barrel) about 10 years. It still gets used as a pest control tool

I genuinely don't understand this. The Impact is not a reliable gun whereas the Leshiy is made to an unbelievably high standard and performs brilliantly. Surely having more features on an unreliable product is a waste of time and money?
