    Thinking of selling a few

    Right, it seems that I have developed the running bug!!
    I am one the kind of people that likes gadgets. I have stopped myself from buying a running watch for 11weeks now, but now the temptation is just too much. I've also been told that I need to upgrade my trainers!

    My wife has told me that she is all for me having new running gear because my new found hobby is good for me, but she then added that the funding can come from my dirty air rifle habit.

    So which would you sell and which would you keep?

    1. RH AA Pro elite .22
    2. RH AA tx200 mk 1 .22
    3. LH AA tx200 SR .177 (stock cs700 thumb hole)
    4. LH HW80 .177 VMACH sleeved to 25mm (GINB thumb hole)
    5. RH HW50 .177 older shape
    6. RH HW35 .177 (project rifle)
    7. HW45 silver star .177 in box

    I can't choose, not sure I can even bring myself to part with any!!! I may just sell a few scopes instead.

    Keep 2 & 3....
    The rest can go.
    That was SO easy for me to say!
    Bet you just can't do it....
    Forget the trainers and the watch.
    HuMa regulated S200 .22...
    Artemis PP800 .177...
    Weihrauch HW45 .177

    Are you a RH or LH shooter would be my first question?
    Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're probably right.

    Keep the lot and buy your new kit - tell your wife a couple of small porkies

    It might cost you a bit for a very nice Christmas present though

    All of the above.

    Ditto. And if ever I am stupid enough to contemplate marriage again, I'll just cut out the middle (wo)man, give away all my guns, find someone I hate, and buy them a house, instead.

    The LH CS700 SR and V-Mach will be the hardest to replace, followed by the PE.

    The 50 and 35 aren't worth that much, compared to the other rifles.

    You will perhaps kind of know which of them you have a particular attachment to. I do among mine. Some I would not miss, some I definitely would, others in the middle.

    If I was selling to spend on a different hobby, I would keep the stuff I really like, and the stuff that would be really hard to find again. In some cases, those things are the same. In others not (eg I like my Webley Senior loads, but Webley Seniors aren't hard to source: a lefty SR would be).
