    I have six rifles but my favorite:
    Steyr Challenge for FT Open
    HW 97 V Glided and dressed in a custom made Gary Cane stock for recoiling FT
    Air Arms Pro Target (unmolested) with a Bushnell Elite x32 AO for vintage FT
    Anshutz 2002 SSP for 10m Air rifle
    HW98 for HFT
    BSA Mercury Challenger for vintage HFT

    But if I could really only keep one and there wasn't an endless supply of compressed air I'd keep the 97. It's one of a kind and totally mine.
    Steyr Challenge HFT - HW97K - BSA Mercury Challenger - Anschutz 9015 One - AA Pro Target - AA Pro Elite - ASI Paratrooper (R) - Walther LP500

    My HW77K in .177. Bought new by me in c 1984 (?) from Airgun Centre. OK, slightly modified now as it sits in an old, refinished 97 stock to which I have added an adjustable butt plate and cheek riser. I have added a home made cocking aid. All 'smoothing out' has been done by me over the years. The original stock is in the cupboard. I really appreciate the rifle even though it is far better than I am.
    Cheers, Phil

    Of those rifles I own, toss up between the FWB Sport, Webley Longbow, Webley Tomahawk if I had it short-stroked and tuned, or “custom” 80s HW77s. With a fair few also-rans that I’m very fond of.

    Pistols, I guess the FAS604. A proper target pistol but one that doesn’t feel completely “targety” like, say, a Diana LP10 does.

    BSA meteor mk1 that's not going anywhere.
    QB78 .177 that I would rather like to keep.

    HW98 or my Prosport would be the last springer out the door.

    Brocock concept S6 .177 would probably be the last pcp.

    At this moment in time, what is your favourite airgun?
    Apart from a few special custom jobs, my favourite has to be the Diana 460 Magnum for these reasons

    It's classic looks.

    It's the only genuine fixed barrel underlever Magnum in the world that can be modified into a nice 12 FP springer with the lowest cocking effort and only just over 8 lbs in weight.

    Modern quality robust internals with a one-piece compression tube and an underlever with no play or flop.

    For those who like to do modifications and customising it would be easy to change to a PS type lever.

    If anyone knows of any other springer that can match these ability's, please let me know

    From the ones I have at the moment it's a toss up between the Fwb300s and the Starfire, but I think the honours go to the Starfire..dom
