Easy, that would be my 1965 Sheridan Blue Streak. Style and grace, accuracy and power.

My Dad's 1970-something Crosman 760. I can hit a bottle cap at ten yards everytime with those open sights. Just talking about it makes
me want to go pump that bad boy up!

Hey, Dave, question about that RWS94... How many shots you have through? I picked up a 'new' old-style Cometa Fenix that was boxed up in somebody's closet and got cleared out in an estate sale. It is exactly the same gun and only have about 30 rounds through... Not nearly as accurate at this point as my Cometa Fusion, but also not broken in and untuned. I have high expectations for the gun...but I think it might need a helping hand -- or a lot more shots through.

As far as the topic of this thread...Loved my original TF89. Hated my RWS350. Was astounded by the Cometa Fusion... and that's the one.
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 actually have twoRWS94s, an OK one and a nicer one :-)



The first had a weak spring, for which I finally obtained a replacement. This was a guy's primary hunting gun for a long time, and is very well used, plenty of Ohio woods battle scars, but not exactly a beater. It was shooting in the low 600s when I gotit. Itshot like a "de-tuned" gun and was beautifully accurate and pleasant to shoot, more like shooting a Diana 24. I have several hundred shots but I would say the last guy had thousands through it. I have a new spring now and shoot it with the iron sights.



My nicer one has better wood and shoots hard. It has a Centerpoint now but I should change it out for another Hawke to improve weight and balance. This is the one on standby duty. I have a few hundred pellets through it, and no idea how many the previous owner had.

I`m like Gene....I don`t want to choose and risk offending my other ladies.  Off a rest most of my springers are accurate out to 30 yards...but if shooting off-hand I would choose my Crosman Storm XT and Gamo Viper.  In the PCP department I would choose my FX Cyclone just because she shoots .177 pelllets....which is less expensive than the .22s.
Gamo: Expotec .177 + Big Cat .177 + Viper .177 + Whisper .177, Hammerli Titan .177, Diana model 24 .177, RWS-Diana P5 Magnum pistol .177, Crosman: G1 Extreme .177 + Storm XT .177 + Sierra Pro .177 + 1377 pistol .177, Air Arms S410SL .22, BSA Scorpion T10 .22, FX Cyclone .177, Remington Air Master 77 .177 + BB\'s,

I like my old Benjamin 397 most.  Whatever is in the peep sight usually soon has a 4.5mm hole in it.  I've had some model of pump up Benjamin for the last 30 years and try as I might I just can't shoot a springer anywhere near as accurately as the Benjamin pumper.

It's gotta be my CFX

It's the one I enjoy the most. On my second spring now... and who knows how many thousands of rounds.
