I'll start with my slightly modified Field Target Feinwerkbau 700. Sporting a 10-50x Hawke Sidewinder ED.

I can't tell you the hots I have for a daisy 22.
I stumbled onto this one at a pawn shop. The stock was loose and his “gunsmiff” couldn’t figure out how to get it apart. I’ve seen 3 in my 43 years on earth. My brother had(may still??) one, and my brother in law has the rotary mag version in his safe. Neat little things

You guys know I like old guns, no different with air guns. I think if it was made today it would sell.

Love this. I have it's twin down in my basement ( and will never sell it) . It was my first BB gun (or gun of any kind). Got it for my 9th birthday for bringing home a good report card.. It did patrols of the local woods almost daily. It was a great shooter and had decent power for what it was. I think I spent near every dime of my allowance on milk cartons full of bb's for the next 2 years :)

Hang on to it, from the looks of the pics yours would have crested $1000 a while ago.

They have old school leather seals, so if it was not shot too much when it was "dry" they come back pretty easy, and dino oil is just fine. Let it get a good soaking with oil, I hate to say there is no such thing as too much oil, someone somewhere will drop it in a 55 gal drum and go YOU SAID...... but you get the idea. I use 3 n 1 oil, but anything is really fine on the old leather. This one shoots mid 500 fps and that is not that bad.
 
Got one of those opposing piston break barrel guns as well... But the 1960's flavor made by Diana. Did some mods to the stock to make it more lefty-friendly and bolted the sun shade to the barrel. Got me some confused looks at competitions :ROFLMAO:

My .22 cal. Kral puncher pro 500. I had been wanting a pcp for a while and came accross it used at a local gun show. The previous owner had lost the end cap for the barrel shroud, I spoke with the guys at DonnyFL and got a new end cap and one of their sumo moderators.

I am super stoked with how it shoots-target below is at 25 yds and just fooling around in the backyard once I got it up and running. Not sure how many pellets went through that hole but it was a lot...

On the left is an old Sheridan Blue Streak .20 cal. Made in Racine, Wisconsin. I redid the stock years ago as it was terribly beat up. I bought in brand new back in the early 80's. It hits with authority. You can hear the pellets connect with whatever the target is that day....on the right is an RWS Diana model 48 in .177. That thing actually burns through most targets. Rather loud also.

I remember taking that Sheridan out with friends when we were younger (they had Crossman 760's, 766's, and Daisy pellet guns running a CO2 cartridge) and shooting a whole box of 500 pellets in a day at 8 pumps for every shot! The 766 was a .22 cal and was impressive, but back then in my neighborhood, an old Benjamin, or Sheridan was top shelf. Looking at some of the photos and the air rifles/guns out there I am stunned at what is available. Truly awesome stuff out there!

Yeah those RWS are LOUD!

I have both the 177 and 22

I replaced the seals a few years ago, those RWS don’t die
 
Submit to the fun...it can get pricey up front, but the ammo cost is stupidly cheap.

It's a different kind of fun!

Once in a while I can out do my nice 22rf out to 400-ish yards. Definitely just as precise at 50Y.
For this Thomas HPX and one of my barrels I swage my own 22 cal slugs - talk about cheap! 4400 pure lead slugs for $82.75.
I can cast cores for free since I have hundreds of pounds of lead, though for now too lazy to do it.

Own a good gas compressor so I can shoot all those slugs up in less than 2 gallons of fuel.

Got a DWall Vulcan 3 25 cal arriving in a month which will be set at 90-100-ish FPE for the 49.5 to 67 gr Altaros slugs. Hoping to get the course record with it at XFT?! Those slugs are kinda pricey but for .21 to .25 G1 BC I'll pay the money! Those should enable more hits than 22rf in the wind.

Thanks for showing off all the cool AG's guys! Love those photos!

Ron J I see you.

My Thomas HPX

For the hunters here
My first real pcp.
I used it for years, before upgrading. I must have at least 5k pellets through it, still ridiculously accurate even with cheap lead.

I've owned 3 marauders and still keep two. IMHO, they are hard to beat for the price. Quiet, accurate nd very tunable if you want to go there.

I completely agree. It was my first and I still keep it around. It is easy to work on as well. Amazing how far airguns have come since the Marauder was introduced! That said, there is something to be said for simplicity and value. The Marauder is a classic!

A friend of a friend's Daystate Genus wasn't performing.. turned out the scope was mounted on the wonk and not Zeroed!

Got it hammering after a few minutes.
