I can understand Roald,
While I haven't been "into" air guns quite like the rest of you fellows, I have been shooting both powder burners and air guns since I 6 years of age.
Along the way, I believe we all regret selling some of out beauties, especially the ones we worked hard on. I know I think I did the right thing at the time, but regret it later, sometimes years later, other times only days.
I feel that we shared some good times, and enjoyable moments with these shooters, and now wish we hade them to reminisce those times with them. I have my first 30-06 rifle, and we spent many hours in the field together, we have taken deer, bear, and even ground hog along our way. When I take her out of the safe, I clean her well, and remember fine time together.
I also miss my first Crosman air rifle and air pistol, a 600, with who I first learned shooting technique, and killed my first starling,but still in all I have there memories.
Perhaps we should think twice and sell ounce.
