I'm gettin' fickle in my old age...
« on: September 04, 2007, 02:16:30 PM »
First, I can't decide whether to sell my Mendoza 2003. Had it up on Gunbroker twice now, and yanked it both times before the auction ended (no bids, of course).

Second, I'm kickin' around getting an RWS34 or Panther, despite the fact that I really didn't like the LAST one I had all that much.

Third, I'm ALSO kicking around an MP513 in .22, even though I sold off the .177 I had (mostly because it was a little too much gun for the smaller caliber, IMO)

Fortunately, I'm not all that tempted by the zillions of new Gamo variants out there.

I could ALMOST buy the MP513 AND the RWS34 with some extra money that came my way (duck soop if I sell my CO2 PPK).

But by the same token, my .177 CFX is so easy to shoot that the .22 variant really looks like a good gun to get. Then again, though - do I really need it considering that I've got a RWS48?

(sigh)

And wifey makes do with a one measly Shadow 1000. How on EARTH does she do it?

Or you could buy a BSA Superstar Carbine with Theoben gas ram upgrade in .177?

Oh wait, those aren't being made anymore....bummer.  Oh hey, looky here, I got one I'm selling, what a coincidence:)

I know, I'm shameless......

Hey Vince,



I don't think you fickle at all, you just have an overactive mind !



You weigh and balance every airgun against what you want and need, and find that each comes up just a little short somewhere..:)



Perfection is only in the eye of God. But I'm sure you'll narrow it down to something you fancy !

Stephanie; I wish I could stick with just one. I want to try them all. They're sort of like potato chips to me. kirby
