I was done in January when I traded for an RWS 48, and then I was REALLY done in February when I bought a lovely Cometa Fenix and got a Big Cat for free, and then I was REALLY REALLY done in March when I lost my job. I actually sold a rifle in there...a TF97...and it wasn't to pay the bills or anything it was just one I didn't think I needed anymore. But then I found another reason to buy a gun in April, and in the first week of May got 4 more... A Walther Falcon Hunter, a Mendoza RM-2800, a Winchester 1000x, and a B21. I haven't even listed them in my signature yet. But I got those rifles to break scopes. And now that I'm selling airgunning stuff its a business expense, and I HAVE to spend more on guns and ammo and scopes. I just have to suck it up!
THE GUNS:
     â€¢ Cometa Fusion Star (Gene tuned) 12/10/09
     â€¢ Cometa Fenix RWS 94 2/8/10
     â€¢ RWS Diana 48 .177 1/8/10 [TRADE for RWS 350]
     â€¢ Walther Force 1000 .177 11/11/09
     â€¢ TF89 .22 10/26/09 (Gene tuned 1/6/10)
     â€¢ TF89 .177 (Gene tuned) 9/6/09
     â€¢ Remington Vantage 1200 .177 8/22/09 (Gene tuned 1/6/10)
     â€¢ Daisy 953 (pneumatic) 8/02/08
     â€¢ Gamo Big Cat 2/5/10 (broken...free...maybe gas piston?!)

THE SCOPES:  
     â€¢ Sightron SII 4-16x42 AO  
     â€¢ Leupold VX-II 3-9x33 Ultralight EFR AO
     â€¢ Bushnell Trophy 6-18x42 AO  
     â€¢ Swift 686 High Recoil 6.5-20x44 AO  
     â€¢ Hawke Air Max 4-12x40 AO  
     â€¢ Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 AO

I try to keep a list up to date in my profile but I leave it turned off. I think this is it as of now:



Steroid Sheridan rocker, Daisy 990, SS1000, B26-2, QB-57, Crosman 150 (TW), Crosman 1377 x 2, RWS5G, MP513, IZH53, RWS9N/Cometa, MP661k Drozd, Walther Falcon Hunter, RWS 34 Panther, XS-B3-1, Cummins B3s, RWS94 Cometa x 2, RWS48, Beeman R7, Daisy Avanti 853, RWS92 Cometa 220, Beeman P3, IZH-46M x 2, Daisy Avanti 747, Diana 24, B5-10, BSA Lightning .22, Crosman Marauder #39 .22, Crosman 1322 Phase 1, Diana Model 20, HW70, Shin Sung Dragon Slayer .50, Haenel Model 26, Slavia 620, HW45/.177



I don't get time to shoot all of these any more but I plan to come back to them. Several are either projects in progress or projects I need to get around to.



Yet there are still guns that burn holes in my head.



The Cometa Fusion, or the Fenix Compact Star, is too tempting to resist, yet totally redundant to things that I have. Still, I think Cometa makes one of the nicest field-handling guns for hunters.



Of course I am waiting for the Marauder pistol, like all right-minded airgunners.



I have got to have an NPSS to punch the gas ram ticket. I am but half a man without a gas ram.



And I would already have a Marauder .25 except I am waiting to see what Cometa introduces in PCP.



To complicate matters, I need to buy a tractor. That should really blow the airgun budget for the next, oh,16 years. But they are burning holes in my head, I tell you.

Steroid Sheridan rocker, Daisy 990, SS1000, B26-2, QB-57, Crosman 150 (TW), Crosman 1377 x 2,  RWS5G, MP513, IZH53, RWS9N/Cometa, MP661k Drozd, Walther Falcon Hunter, RWS 34 Panther, XS-B3-1, Cummins B3s, RWS94 Cometa x 2, RWS48, Beeman R7, Daisy Avanti 853, RWS92 Cometa 220, Beeman P3, IZH-46M x 2, Daisy Avanti 747, Diana 24, B5-10, BSA Lightning .22, Crosman Marauder #39 .22, Crosman 1322 Phase 1, Diana Model 20, HW70, Shin Sung Dragon Slayer .50, Haenel Model 26, Slavia 620, HW45/.177

When



 A) you have more air guns that you can possibly shoot,



 B) you  are looking through your safe(s) and find a gun you forgot you had,



 C)  you buy the same gun you bought two years ago [variation of B],



 D) you spend all of a beautiful Spring day on the PC looking for more guns,



E) All of the above.  :D
