    Mines a heavy barrel Anshutz .17hmr - just for the look on a pigeons face at 140 yards.

    Tricky one really. Of late, restricted to my (short) garden, I'd tend to grab any of my pistols or Crosman based mini-carbines. Or one of my older BSA boingers.....Supersport or Mercury S.

    For more "serious" use, I'd generally be choosing between my V-Mach kitted HW95 or 77.

    Either of my springers, a 97k or tx200 mk3 can't choose between them really. Both had a fair bit of fettling.

    My daughters Artemis PP700 carbine with a 4x32 - or my open sighted 77.

    This is all about to change after Christmas though.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    When the range is open my Walther TPH, now it's shut either the PP700 or Umarex Buckmark in our small garden.
    In a month or so we should be moved to our new house with an underground indoor range and 120m garden. Then it will be everything all the time!!

    Wow, wow, wow! You lucky, lucky little beggar, you!

    Good luck with the move, Nick.

    Maybe a Bash a la France when things open up to complement some UK ones?

    My Supersport Custom with the .25 Lightning barrel, I adore it

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    My CZ452 varmint barrel .17HMR simply for its versatility and accuracy, wind permitting.

    Oh that’s a hard question to answer I have different rifles for different types of shoot and weather conditions. If have to put my hand on my heart for a all rounder I would say my trusty R10 it’s never let me down at all over the years. It is a very early one built just after the MK2s came in.

    No1 reach for

    For the pigeons - 2013 Meteor in .22. Find the HW35 a bit heavy at the mo, due to minor health issues.
    Plinking - trying to make up my mind between a Hurricane & Tempest in .177.

    Bru
    Webley Mk3 x2, Falcon & Junior rifles, HW35x2, AirSporter x2, Gold Star, Meteors x2, Diana 25. SMK B19, Webley Senior, Premier, Hurricane x 2, Tempest, Dan Wesson 8", Crosman 3576, Legends PO8.
