A few years ago I went mad I bought really good examples of every air rifle I had lusted over as a youth. 37, maybe more, rifles later
I've sold all but a few now.
Most really weren't as "great" as I wanted them to be, or as AGW/AG had suggested.
My nostalgia bubble was truly popped. Maybe it would have been better to have never known anything better.

However, I have kept a choice few
The best of the bunch are still good rifles. Tuned and fettled with even better.
Some were never more than plinkers, and in truth are still great plinkers.

Just have fun with it all.
