I have a few. Great for shooting in situations where you cant use a firearm.
I bought one from Cabela's quite a few years ago. I think it's a Beeman and it came with a decent scope. I'm still amazed at its accuracy and stopping power for varmits.
Mine in kind of old to, bought it I think in the late 90's but still works just great. Same thing here, it sits in the case for years at a time then all of the sudden I get interested in it again and shoot the crap out of it.I own one. But haven't used it in a million years.
I should break it out. Kids would have fun with it.

All my rifles have a purpose. The pellet gun is great for silent hunting just in case the food supply runs out. Theres a lot of squirrel around cemeteries and industrial parks, as well as pigeons.
People dont realize how fast the food supply will dry up at the stores if a major event happens. During the depression in the 30's most city people were lucky to have a slice of baloney once a week with their beans and rice, while country folk were eating squirrel, rabbit, and even crow with theirs.
I have several also. Most of the common fodder daisy 880, crosman 2100 , Sheridan/benjimen 392/397s . plus I collect some of the older pumps.Have a few as well. I like the old break barrels ( slavia .177, .22) flea market finds I restore, and a Sheridan blue streak .20 cal. old break barrel pistols are fun too. All work well at attic patrol.
I've been reading about the Umarex Gauntlet, a PCP that will be available soon.
It is said to be able to shoot into about 5/8" groups at 50 yards and can get 70 or so shots per charge.
$300 for the gun and another couple of hundred for the pump.
very tempting....
UK Airgun Hunt!
I've been addicted to airguns for 40 years. I still own my first BB gun . I also own a good dozen more airguns that range in power and quality ( Note: These are two separate things!). I have several high end /olympic grade co2 guns that are asprin splitting accurate. My favorites though are still high quality break barrel "springers". Airguns are lots of fun and great training tools . Best of all, I get to shoot them right in the basement and/or back yard.
p.s. Hunting with an airgun is more challenging than hunting with powder burners. Long lock times, reverse recoil and limited power require close stalking and good trigger control.
Great for pest control too, but I am not eating squirrel.
I will save these for SHTF romantic dinners... Actually sounds really good. Except you know, the tree rat part.
Still have my RWS Diana 45 i bought in the 80s. Beautiful rifle. And a couple of cheap Chinese ones in 177 and 22 ive had quite a while too.
