    What do you prefer...name or number?

    Hi all,

    I had a Barryg thought today

    A bit of a daft question but what do you prefer for the identification of an air rifle?

    Do you prefer a fancy name like Airsporter or Longbow etc or a number like a TX200 or HW97 etc?

    Your thought Gents.

    Get a grip of yourself man!

    Numbers, they tend to mean more than some random assignation relating to native Americans or Mythical beasts
    God rest ye jelly mental men

    I’ll give you an honest answer.

    I’ve honestly never thought about it and I honestly don’t care

    I suppose "Even better looking than a Vulcan" sounds better than "Even better looking than a HW35" captain!

    As as to the topic at hand, there is a mix-n-match of names and numbers in my cabinets, and I like the use of both from my Light Pattern and Longbow through to my TX200HC and SP-5 .20 so am ambivalent (although I understand that these days, there is an ointment available for that? ) ...

    I prefer a combination of real words, letters, numbers, abbreviations and fake words.

    Something like:

    “Gamo Vulturator X2000 G-ram Tac Pro M57”.

    Happy Easter, folks.

    Doh! Sold both my .277 and my .122 calibre examples of my Gamo Vulturator X2000 G-ram Tac Pro M57 only last week. Sorry Bro, had no idea you were after one?
