I think I have found a cure for Airgunitis....

[Silo]

It has taken me quite a while to realize that I have not been hanging out on the Forums as much as I used to.
It has taken me even longer to figure out why this is.
I have discovered that the purchase of my RWS / Hammerli 850 is the cause.

I realized all this after reading a post written by a friend of mine last night.

It was not long after I purchased this gun that I started selling off a few of my other guns, even ones
that I had sworn were keepers and would never part with.
The 850 nestles right in the middle of all of them where it should - and easily does the work of either
a casual plinker or serious hunter.

In my case, the experience of making my own Re-fillable Air Source CO2 can spawned a whole new hobby,
Modding. Once that bug hit, I went all out and started equipping my garage to continue modding my own guns
and that hobby is consuming me as I write this. Even to the point of thinking of making my own stocks…..

In a nutshell, to say that the 850 has opened new doors in my hobby life would be a gross understatement.
Before I got mine, all I could think about was getting another air gun ... and another .. and another after that ad nauseam.
It was a seemingly insatiable addiction that the 850 COMPLETELY satiated - for me anyway.

So for those of you that have heard about this amazing little CO2 rifle and were thinking of getting one,
go for it and get one.
I’m sure that you will enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

Now..... all I need is a better lathe!
