Mine is my 392, but the disco may change that. If your headed to the woods, whats the first gun you reach for. Like i said as of now, mine is the 392 by alot, You guys might not know this, but my next favorite pest control/ small game hunting weapon is my bow...love to bowhunt. In my opinion, airgun hunting and bowhunting go hand in hand.

Mine depends on my mood. If I'm going with a springer I'll grab my MM B-26 .22 cal. If I'm going CO2 or PCP I'll grab my custom Disco built on a 2240 frame. Its light weight accurate and powerful.
-
My Hammerli 850 so far ; )
-
Right now my favorite small game hunting gun would have to be my .22 Marauder....
My favorite "medium" sized game gun is without a doubt my .22 Air Force Condor :)

Well I'm still getting to know my Disco but really liking her but my proven got to shooters are my Hunter 1250.22 and my B26's .177. All my shooters are accurate and ready to hunt and just a matter of which one I grab. Ed
-
by far the best pest killer i have that is not a powder-burner.....favorite power-burner is remington bushmaster 762 .308 with 150gr powerpoints.
-
disco for starlings & and other pest, most likely change after my airhog tank arives this weekend so i can fill my daq. pumped it up with my pump twice...not fun
-
My favorite is the 460 22 cal. at the moment but my 350 177 cal. just scoped today might change that.

At the present,....Still have to go with the B-28A. It's been about 2 months since I bought Rogers RX-2,....which is totally awesome,....but I've yet to find the best pellet for it! Dang gun shoots just about every pellet I have great!!!! I still get tickled plinking at 18 yards from my shop door. Never saw veggy cans "leap" so much from a "BB-Gun"!!!!!! But my 28 really is a Sweet-Shooter. After a tin of Crow-mags (18.2's), the Maccarii spring still spits the RWS SD's in the low 700's, but still plenty of FPE's to git the job dun! tjk
PS: I got a replacement BSA scope in the mail this week. It's the 3-12X44 side paralax adjustment "Essential" model. Not too shabby a scope,...and kinda compact which makes for a well balanced 'long gun'! tjk

I only have one hunting gun gamo varmint hunter with a tuna trigger and air V gas ram i mount a 3x9x32 bug buster .It shoots 10 grain kodiaks at 905 fps for 18 fpe it deadly out to 50 yards on tree rats
-
i have to go with my rws 350 mag 22 cal. only becuase its my only airgun LOL. but shes a strong shooter and accurate as heck. but i think once i get my disco or mauraurder for my b-day. that might change lol
-
RX2-.22 LOVES CP DOME AND JSB'S
-
RX2-.22 IT IS AWESOME!!! HW97 .20 DOES VERY WELL ALSO.

Small game to medium-sized game (squirrel to groundhog, coon, possum, etc.) - AF Condor .22 & Condor .25, shrouded of course.
2nd best: Diana 350 .22 for squirrel, crow, Groundhog - got a couple of possums too. Nothing like an accurate, tuned springer
(Diana 34/36 probably equals the 350 because it's so dang accurate, again tuned, but has less power so loses 2nd place to the 350)
Bird gun (Starlings, Grackles, English sparrows): RWS 850 .22 (or .177) - CO2 gun: recoiless and same-hole accurate @ 25yds.
If I could only have one gun out of all these, it'd be a tough decision but the Condor .22 would probably win, although I just got the Condor .25 worked on a little more and barrel re-crowned, so it's just as accurate, but with 20fpe more (!) than the .22cal.
Nothing like an accurate, shrouded (quiet) PCP with 1/2 to 2/3 the power of a .22LR rimfire, that can shoot through a 2x4" 8)
-
For now it's the Hammerli X2 in .22 (it always stays at the ready in .22) but the blue streak is also a very close runner up. Depends on what I'm hunting. but I'm on the fence about buying a disco and I've been toying with the idea of getting a .25 too. Decisions, decisions
-
My 850 is a fun gun to hunt with and I also like my 2250xt.

All though I've not hunted with it yet I'm pretty dang sure it's going to be the gun that just showed up today. It's my new RWS 350 Feuekraft Pro Compact. Picked her up after work, mounted the RWS lock down mount and RWS 3x9 AO scope and went to work sighting it in. Took a few shots but once I got it I can stack em on top of each other from 15 yards in the basement. And it doesn't seem to be at all hold sensative. Right out of the box it chronographs at 745fps with Crossman Premeirs. Very impressed with the new set up. Pictures to follow.
