    Guns you'd still like?

    Okay, I don't have the spare cash nor the space at the moment, but I was thinking the other day of which further guns I would like, one day........

    Firstly, and a total "dream rifle" would be a Venom Mach 1 or 2.

    Then, in no order of preference:-

    Anschutz 250.
    Anschutz 335.
    FWB Sport.
    Air Arms Khamsin.
    Walther LGV Comp Ultra.
    TX200 in .22.
    Feinwerkbau 65 or 80.
    Walther LP53.
    An Airsporter, early or late, but not a "slabby" one.
    Lincoln Jeffries / BSA underlever.
    Diana 52. Not really sure why, but feel it ought to be on the list.

    Think that's about it.

    What would your lists look like?
    THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
    NEXT EVENT :- May 17/18, 2025.........BOING!!

    a decent HW80k . i always wanted a theoben fenman. never got one. bought a theoben evo but hardly shot it. prefer the HW80k .

    will try the evo more and if i don't get on with it i will try and get a HW80k.

    as i hunt i don't need anything too flashy.

    For me the list would look something like:
    Diana K98 Mauser
    FWB new model Sport
    Walther LGV pro
    Diana 340 Ntec

    Am sure there are others but that's enough for now. The way I'm always getting distracted and side tracked on this journey I think I'm in for a long trek.....

    FWB 300 Junior (damn I sold a perfectly nice one)
    Drulov Eagle
    Weihrauch HW50 old school .177 with Rekord trigger
    Weihrauch HW35 Export .177 (damn I sold a perfectly nice one)
    Original Diana 27


    I had a HW50II, so only the Drulov and the Diana are new-to-me. Bought and sold lots and lots of rifles that I 'wanted as a teenager' or was curious about ... If I was to keep just one rifle it would be the HW77K 25mm. That's all anyone needs really, the rest is just being greedy.

    The slightly disappointing ones were the Park RH93, the TX200SR and the Feinwerkbau Sport. Sometimes it is just a matter of how a rifle feels. I just got another Hammerli 401, a favorite of my youth. It still feels 'right' now, it's a long rifle but it is light and well balanced, it is ugly but feels really good to handle. Walther LP53 and BSA Airsporter S were well made but poor performers, so disappointing. Feinwerkbau 65 is a great pistol but the twang is awful.
