What is your most BEAUTIFUL Air Rifle you own?

I've never had any "pretty" air guns. I guess the closest would be my old Beeman C1....and that's only due to the quality of the bluing of the steel.

Dang!!! Can't get the picture to download.....just early 80's vintage Webley bluing...

Personally I've got a deep appreciation for a great piece of wood done right being truly a thing of beauty.
But it's that beauty that requires respect and caution when venturing into the field, less one enters a unseen heartbreak hotel experience. With the fashionable caterwauling directed against power burners with any evil looking utilitarian esthetics. I am more inclined using those most times lighter esthetics in the less threatening PCP realm. Also should I stumble into a ditch sometime, I'll not visit that afore mentioned hotel. :unsure:

At some point you either have to frame it and hang it on a wall, or just shoot the thing. Take care, but take it out shooting, hunting, whatever. Don't feel bad about battle scars that were earned honestly by mistake. That's life, live it. Use your airgun for it's intended purpose. It's not a runway model living off its good looks, and those looks don't help it shoot any better. Worry about having a good time with the time you have. Not what your gun looks like or if you will hurt it's value. Unless, of course, you decide to hang it on a wall. At least it would be real art and not something stupid like "white rabbit in a snowstorm." To each their own I guess.

THIS.

I was going to reply something similar, a couple people I know handle their airguns with the white felt gloves used to check if your wall locker in the barracks was dust free on inspection day.

When I tell them I throw mine in the back seat sometimes (paradigm included) , they just go 😲

I am glad I got my mini, and slayer used... they already have a couple imperfections, makes it easier to see more when and if they happen.
