It has no practical or specific role to fill. It won't be used for any of the target comps I shoot in. Yet I have an unnerving feeling I will buy it
    That's just how it is - if you want it and you've got the money for it, go for it and be happy 👍

    All of the above.

    If you can afford it buy it, life isn't a dress rehearsal

    I have a few guns in my collection ,and recently decided to sell some of my pcp guns that do not get used.
    I have sold 3 and replaced them with 8 springers,all in the last 7 months.
    like many on here don't need them ,but I want them.
    I was going to do the one in one out,but I can't get my head around it.

    That's the idea, Les. Less PCPs and more boingers!

    Nice one!

    I like most Airguns ,but I get most satisfaction and enjoyment from my springer's I always have .
    I visited the December Kempton fair show and seeing the classic and vintage guns on display as reawaken my interest in the early pre war springers.

    I really want a fx impact export version. The weird thing is I don’t even like them that much, I just want to take it apart and see what does what!

    I am also one of the many airgunners who own many more rifles than I should. My problem is that I enjoy using them all, just some more frequently than others. I cant see me changing the habit of a lifetime now. There again, why shouldn't I enjoy owning and shooting lots of air rifles? I have no regrets.
