Favourite airarm and why.??

Post by native hunter »

G"day all
Just wondering for those that have multiple airarms, what is your favourite and why.??
I have a soft spot for the R1 in .20cal, reason being it is a tack driver and was one of the first top end rifles I acquired.
My young bloke likes it as well.
I have a nice little collection goin these days.
When I get a chance I will do some reviews/reports and let everyone in on the results.
I just love air.
My collection of powder burners has dwindled and I have only kept mainly my rimfires and x1 centrefire and a few shotty's.
I cant wait to get my new steyr LG110 HP in .20 cal on the range and see what it turns out.
The list is long and distinguished as follows-
HW35,.22cal
HW50,.22cal
HW80,.177cal
RX1,.20cal(gasram.)
R1,.20cal
FWB601,.177cal
TTR,.20cal
MFR,.22cal(camo)
Steyr,.20cal.
You could say I have a problem.

I only have access to two air-rifles ... Dad's mid 80's HW80 in 22cal and my Beeman HW97K in 0.177. Both have Maccari internals. As much as I love the precision feel and laser beam accuracy of the HW97K ... the old girl (HW80) is just a pleasure to shoot despite the solid THWACK, the jump and the strong pulse.

The HW80 reminds me of the early days of my shooting when they'd just been released and the World was a much more innocent place and teh HW80 ruled the power stakes.
Cheers...

It's called a healthy appreciation of the finer things in life

both my current ones
the -90 and the .25 cal both fill their roles very well

if I had the $$ I'd move the -90 onto a mate who wants a quality AG and get myself a rapid MK1 .20 cal and get lewis to fit it with a G&R and the high pressure 500 cc cyclinder

then again
I could keep the -90 and get the mate to buy the .20 cal and then borrow it off him

later

Hi all

I have three:

Anschutz LG380 .177
Diana 34 ( Maccari internals ) .177
BSA hornet .177

I love them all as they are all very different but I just love shooting the 380, can't beat that trigger.
