You didn't specify "air rifle"
How about these 3 air rifles and a Ruger 10/22 thrown in, just because . . .
PS:  If you folks haven't found "Howard's Feed 'n Wax" (stocked at Home Depot), you should get some.  Beats Ballistol hands down.

I think the old HW55T's are a cross between a classic air rifle of yesteryear and the flowing feminine lines of a gorgeous Schuetzen style stock ( a bit like a classic car ) the closest I can achieve these days is a Beeman R7 dressed up in 55's clothes.

It is interesting to see different taste on which rifles folks really like. Not in how they shoot but in how they look. Some nice air rifles.

"Howard's Feed 'n Wax" (stocked at Home Depot)... Not for us here in North Dakota. Home Depot pulled out of Bismarck, the State Capitol because they store did not make enough profit. It made over $15 million a year profit per the Company. But... bean counters say it has to be over $32 million in profit. So, they closed it. Now only one is in Fargo. Way too far to drive for an outfit that doesn't support the folks who were shopping at the Bismarck store.

I gotta change one of my pics from earlier. I finally got on the thoebian website and the eliminator is a bad looking rifle. Those things are a work of art and cost about as much.
