I used to think prewar BSAs were the most ungainly air rifles made but now I can't look at one without admiring its lovely lines and genius design. Equally, I used to absolutely love the Tyrolean match stocks from Walther etc on their match rifles, but now just rather like them, so it does sort of work both ways.

Somehow I doubt I'll ever feel passionate about modern production guns, so there must be more to it than just fickleness....
It’s funny how your tastes evolve, over the years I have gone back in time to the point if it’s not proper milled steel and walnut it aint proper these days.

I used to have a real thing for the old Crosmans, 600,500, 451 and so on then I had a BSA thing and I seem to have a new thing for the Mk1/2/3 Webleys now

I just don’t seem to sell the last craze before starting the next one, must be why I am always skint.
