In my case.... I will keep my RWS 350 magnum.... it is my heaviest air rifle after add to it 2 pounds
in the stock for a perfect balance .... but.... it is a very accurate killer.... until 60 yards.
Preys to hunt: GREEN IGUANAS!!!

I think I'd go with the Benjamin "Blue Streak" .20 cal pumper I bought new 43 years ago when I was 12. To this day that rifle is laser accurate and just as powerful as it was on day 1. No main spring to break like a springer rifle....... no need for scuba tank or hand pump like a PCP..... just pump her up for each shot and shoot. Nice and simple and when it comes to survival simple and effective is the way to go.

My .177 Gamo Viper...very accurate out to 50, 60 yards. Not too heavy but heavy enough so it don`t sway around while off-hand shooting. If it wasn`t for the weight I would choose my .177 Hammerli Titan....my most powerful springer...and accurate too.

WOW JEFF... 43 YEARS OLD AIRGUN!!!!.... I WON'T TELL YOU ENJOY THAT BEAUTY....
YOU HAVE ENJOY IT THAT RIFLE MORE THAN ANY MARRIAGE!!!! HE HE HE !!!

Agreed, 350 magnum. Unless I screw up the shot, what ever I aim at is toast. I have only confirmed kills out to 35 yards. But after the murder of a 16 oz amped energy drink at 55 yards I think I can effectively whack grackle out to that range.
Prey: its the end of the world! If its smaller than me better watch your A$$. lol

i will take my 350m.22 and a crossbow sorry but i need it for big game ,but the most important thing we all need is each other in times like that cause alone no one is gonna make it ,jeff my is a 1971 benji blue streak and very accurate shooter and its a .20 cal also ,thats one i couldnt get rid of at all ,its compact,accurate,lightweight with plenty of power and i keep it with two pumps and shoot it at least once a week i use iron sights out to only 20 yds but i have mounts from mac 1 and a rws scope i like putting on it for futher distances...jorge

Let's see... now if I'm gonna be living off squirrels, desert chicken and varmints I'm sticking with the gas rammed BSA SuperSport. It's a .177 but unGodly accurate for 14 fpe gun. That's the go-to within my current stable. Wishful thinking: An Evanix Rainstorm.22 cal as much as I admire Jeff's choice!

Don't go thinking this is my 5th post on the forum. I've been around much longer under TexasShooter72. I'm just not in Texas anymore!

how do green iguanas taste?

Iwould keep my .50 cal., briefly.
I will use my .50 cal air gun hopefully only once... to take a big honking firearm from someone else. There will be a lot of bad and desperate people. If it is end of the world survival conditions, I want something more than an airgun. So I would take the biggest one I have to "leverage" a pump 12 or something in that league, and work my way up from there.
Now if I am squared away in the self-defense department, and then get one airgun to put food on the table, I might take the RWS34 Panther, or the Cometa 400. I think a reliable break barrel springer would give good service for many years, and I can basically keep it running. The Sheridan is tempting but a little loud, and I couldn't maintain one as easily if a seal goes or something.

If it will actually be the "End of the World", you won't need any air guns or anything else. Just bend over and kiss your, you know what goodbye.

Bogey you took the words right outa my mouth....:)

What no airguns in HEAVEN? Gamo 440

well in a REAL situation where i cant go to store and have to live from the land
i have a bow ( compound and recurve) and my P1 and my TX200 MKIII and my B51 i figure i always keep my tank full at home which is good for around 31-33 gun fills and at 20 full power shots per fill i am set with that for a while
not to mention i have alot of fishing poles and firearm ammo laying around
ill be eating well
till i run outta ammo/fish hooks and arrows

Like chicken. Everything taste like chicken except chicken.
-
I'd like to say it would be my old Blue Streak, but I think it will be easier to find .22 pellets :)
-
My Crosman 1400.
Simple pump model. Lasted since the mid-70s and was just rebuilt. 22 caliber.
-
Ill take my 3 beasties reason for that in a survival situation u want power and accuracy so if today was the end of the world in my current stable I would take my rws 350p,my tf89 ,and my big walther talon mag cause as of now these big 3 are the only big girls I have in my stable now ask me that same question 6 months from now and they might be 2 more girls on that list lol
-
If I'm still around,.... for survival purposes I wouldn't pick an AG. Carrying an assortment of slug, buckshot, and birdshot shells, my 12 ga can down every type of critter in North America from Birds to Bear and is better for self defence than anything else I own.

-

-
