Reading OldGringo's post and not wanting to hijack Puma Guy and his "what firearm do you buy over and over" ...

I own a FWB124 rifle and a Hammerli Single.

Yes:
Daisy Avanti 853
HW50s
Diana 34
Diana 52
XS46U
Crosman 1377 and 2289 and a revolver
...and enjoy 'em all....in the backyard.

Can buy and ship without FFL too!

Just bought a Umarex Octane (.22 cal) a couple of weeks ago and started seasoning the barrel last weekend. It's a 9-1/2 pound beast, but it sure shoots nice.

I have three old 5mm Sheridans. One I recently had repaired and overhauled, but no serious pneumatic rifles or pistols.

That was my dream gun when I was a kid.

Saved up my money for a long, long time to buy my "Blue Streak" and I remember how proud I was when I brought it home. The other two are Silver Streaks; I don't even remember when I got them. I can see pneumatic becoming more popular- I haven't heard any one complain of a pellet shortage.

My stable is all .177 presently.
Rifles:
TF99 Thumbhole
Gamo Big Cat

Pistols:
Daisy 747
Twinmaster Trainer
Marksman 2004
Crosman 1377

I am very interested in a Benjamin Marauder in .22, but haven't gotten one yet.

Don't mean to hijack, but I just remembered that Sheridan actually made a .22 rimfire pistol at one time. I'm gonna have to research that, but that'll be a different thread.

RWS Model 34 - One Crank provides 1000 fps .177 cal. pellet, very accurate.

It's a German made beauty, with a wooden stock and a 4 power scope.

It completely hole a squirrel.

These aren't toy BB guns.

I have a Beeman R7. Love it. Great fun and training for my boys when they were young. Do you really need a 4x12x40 scope to shoot 10 meters? YES!!!

I have 2 cheapies Crosman I bought one of them when I was 16. A friend of mine accidentally shot me with it when I was 17. I cut the bb out with a razor blade at my collar bone. Still have a small scar from it. The other one I have I bought to shoot wasps in the garage, that thing sucks so I was glad to find my original one. I can hit wasps from about 10-15 ft with the iron sights. My 10 YO has a Crosman AR-15 that my father-Inlaw bought for his last bday. I'm going to get him a bolt action 22 within the next couple weeks for his bday this year.
