Being retired ; I usually have to sell something off to help finance a new craving. I'm thinking , If I had maybe an Izzy46 pistol and a used 10 meter match rifle , with my Talons for hunting , and the AirArms S400C for shooting field target matches , I'd be pretty well set and wouldn't "need" a new gun for at least six months to a year (yea right) So today I went through my stable and was trying to find something I was willing to part with. First I checked out my two Crosman 1377's , did a little changing on them . I put the LW barrel I had on one and set it up with open sights and shot it for a while. It was shooting so good ,I decided to keep this one . Now the other one. I put a 10" Crosman barrel back on it , added a 4x scope and went out to sight it in and shoot a little. Nope , going to keep this one too. As a matter of fact I ordered some more parts from Crosman to make one of these a .22 cal. and got a matching forearm and grips for both. Next , One I haven't shot in a couple of months, my Beeman R7 . I could probably get enough out of it to buy a Izzy46 . Less than 500 shots through it and with a Beeman muzzle brake.Yep, like new. I changed the scope on it ,( I wanted the scope to go on the AA S400C when it gets here ) and went out side to sight-er in . After sight-in at 10 meters I backed up to twenty-five yards and started taking out the ten ring in my target. Nope , this ones going back into the safe too . So that leaves my HW30 and ain't no way I'm selling it or my Talons.. So I guess I'm stuck for now with what I have or have coming. Hehehe. It's not a bad thing , I'll just have to find a new finanace plan . kirby

If I find something I can't live without, but for now I think it perform well enough to stay in the stable with the rest .hehe . There's an Anschutz 2001 Super Air match air rifle for sale over on Brad's classifieds for $725+shipping. Now if you had one of those to trade I might throw in both crossmans and maybe the HW30 too. hehe kirby

I can relate Kirby. I do work, but I'm a single gal and pay all the bills on my own. I don't think I can adopt Dano's strategy, no groceries..............
Haven't shot the R7 for several months? Hmmm, I'll pay for the shipping to my house, I'll keep her safe and well excercised for you, promise!
-
Heck Dan quit smoking just to support his....err... habbit 8)
-
I think maybe the long rests are what keeps her shooting so good. She'll have another long nap when my AA S400C gets here. hehe But thanks for all the offers , it's good to know I have all these friends that would help out a guy in need. hehe .kirby

Im with you Kirby... what I have in my collection will stay in my collection so if I want more well.... then the bag o money is gonna have to fall from the sky and hit me in the head. lol..........Hmmm no groceries lol I have already done that at 150 lbs. soaking wet I can only hope that Sac n Save wont charge more money for the food I might buy in the future because the flood wiped out their store :(.

After shooting the AA S400C today I've decided to sell a few of my prized Air guns. I decided to sell a few and narrow down my collection to include one plinker springer ( HW-30) one PCP for field target hunter (AA S400C) , One 10 meter rifle (undecided but leaning toward PCP AA S400 MPR) and one nice 10 meter pistol (IZH-46M) I'm still undecided about my Talon mini SS. kirby

I've pulled my R7 and my Talons off sale for now , why ? I don't know . Why did I put them up for sale to begin with? Insanity !!!! kirby
-
You said to call you that, so I did.
-
Maple or blueberry with that waffle? LOL!
-
Thanks "Friends" for the support ! Anybody know where I can join one of them anonymous groups ? I think I may have to get me a part time job to help pay for my habit. hehe. That way I can keep all of them . hehehe. kirby

Funny you say that, I was thinking about picking up a second job at Cabellas up the street from here part time. I can always use a little extra money, but then I thought this would be more like working against myself.
-
Hmmm yes I'd say so.... like a kid in the candy store! :D
-
Can't ask an addict for help doesn't work that way. You would be better off just getting a part time job hehehe.
