Pretty Performers
« on: November 28, 2009, 01:23:56 PM »
I keep reading about guns and looking at pictures. Sometimes I'll see a neat muzzle-brake, a great stock, sometimes those will be together. I'm curious as to what people have run across as good looking guns. I'm sure there are good-looking guns that stink, just as there are a few that are homely that shoot well.

What are the guns you think are the best-looking performers?
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

Well Rich,
As of right now, I'm still in love with my big Benji Super Streak. He's a heavy and long beast but is a real tack driver. Right now as a .177, it's pushing CP Ultra Mags at almost 17 fpe. The furniture is good solid quality and detailed nicely. I'm not a BIG fan of thumbhole stocks but I like this one. He's big and long but he's my "go-to" guy. I've got a .22 barrel ordered but it's gonna be the middle of January before it comes in from the supplier. My new TH89 is supposed to deliver this Monday and will have to be my temporary "go-to" guy for power till the new barrel gets here.
But, my vote is for my Benji. He's beauty and the beast all in one!!!
Happy Shooting!!!!
Dave
