    I'm no collector compared to you, I just have a few rifles more than I really need!

    Collectables.

    I'm still new to all this, but I have found myself fond of a few Brummie Webleys. I absolutely love my Longbow. Quality!

    I fancy a Mk III Webley in .177", but rarity & especially the price puts me off a little.

    As for what anyone collects, well I suppose it's realy a case of what your particular "flavour" is.

    When I was a quite a bit younger I only had a bit of a play with my Diana SP50 & on one occasion a BSA Meteor, which I liked & did quite well with. On the same occasion as this I had the chance to have a go with a Hurricane. I couldn't hit the side of a bus with it & was not too keen on the styling.

    How times have changed. I have just bought a Hurricane & my view on them has changed completely.

    As for rifles. Although still a new model, I fancy a Diana 300R. Even if their reputation is a bit iffy.

    Far too many rifles & pistols to mention here.

    I have a GC2 Mk2 in a very nice Paul Wilson stock. (.177)

    And you can't have it.

    Anything that is gloat-able is collectable and the GC2 is highly gloat-able.
