SDALE said it perfectly. I personally seem to collect more. I dont get to shoot as much as I would like, but when I do I love it. I jumped into airguns and bought a bunch fairly soon without much of a clue. But I love each airgun that I have. [ yes, even my Viper Express ]I cant afford, nor do I want a $500 or more airgun. Of course I have never fired one, so that may be why,but thats a lot of money to me. I dont have a problem with someone buying a $500 or even a $2000 airgun. Its just not for me. There are about 6 or 8 more air rifles that I want, none cost over $ 300. Heck I could get 3 of the list for a total of $300! I would much rather send Gene my Big Cat for a turbo tune than get a $ 500 Beeman or whatever. Maybe thats because I have never fired one like I said, but if you really read this and other forums [ that are actually still active ], you will see people having the times of their lives with what some would refer to as junk. None of the airguns that you see on the bottom of my posts are what most people would drool over, But I love them all. I drool over my cfx .22, Falcon Hunter and Varmint Hunter. My Baikal is AWESOME to me, and I shoot my Quest the most. I would like to point out that airguns of all types brought us all together in this family, [ Yes, even my Viper Express ], and that is AWESOME. [ stop making fun of my Viper Express ]
