    I have had 3 or 4 HW95k's.

    Not because I love them!

    But because,

    On paper it should be the ultimate 12ftlb break barrel air rifle.

    But in practice they need heavy mods to be good.

    All except my latest have shot terrible from the factory!

    I had a Crosman 2240. I modded it but lost interest and sold it on.

    Later I realised that I preferred the bog standard version so I bought a secondhand base version which I still have and use.

    Years ago I had a beautiful mark 2 TX200 and for some reason decided to get rid. That was around 10 years ago and this year I bought another one because I still missed it!!!!

    I sold a full length .177 TX200 in a beech stock.

    I really wanted an HC .177 in a Walnut stock.

    Then, I bought a .22 HC in a Walnut stock.

    Then, I sold that because I really wanted an HC .177 in a Walnut stock.

    Then, I bought a .177 TX200hc in a Walnut stock and, finally, all is well in the world

    All of the above.

    I have this happen all the time, I like buying, then tying them out, then I sell it on and end up buying another 6 months later.

    SuperTens, Meteors, HW80's and Sharp Innovas. That reminds me I haven't got an Innova in the cabinet at the moment, I repaired one last week and somehow seem to think I should look out for one to keep myself active... MSP's are damn good excercise
    BSA Super10 addict, other BSA's inc GoldstarSE, Original (Diana) Mod75's, Diana Mod5, HW80's, SAM 11K... All sorted!

    I've bought back three of my actual old air rifles to date, had four TX200HC's in .177 to date -- usually bought within a year of selling the last one, so reckon I am about due another (lol) -- and have had seven YES SEVEN Webley & Scott .177 Tempest pistols, each within a year of each other, too, and don't get me started on the amount of Omegas and Vulcans I've had, so you are far far FAR from being alone my friend.

    in 1989 I took purchase of a shiny new sportmatch GC2 number 117 when I packed in shooting in 1993 I sold it. after getting back into shooting 8 years ago I've always regretted selling it I've even look at buying one a few year back. then I read a add on here last year for a gc2 number 117 which was my original one I had sold I couldn't believe it I just to have it back after 23 years
    It still shoots as good as any of the new guns I have

    I bought a beaten up old BSA Challenger off a guy and had it reblued and tuned by SFS and refinished the stock myself, I put more rabbits in the pot with that rifle than any other I've ever owned, I traded it in in the end and regretted it a few months later, it took me years to find another Challenger, which I've managed to do and it's been done up to the same spec as the one I traded it.

    I also had a lovely early Prosport that I sold to Alister on here and missed it so much, luckily he asked me a few years later if I wanted to buy it back which I did without hesitation, I still have it now and is the pride of my collection.

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

    Sold and bought many S200, s, HW95, s, TX200, s and probably more.
