Does Anyone Actually Own Just One Airgun?

[PasadenaMike]

I know there was a post started about “if you could have one air gun” or something along those lines but in reality is there such a thing? Does anyone here own just one airgun or know such unicorn? How do you just have one? Is such a thing possible? Maybe if you’re not a “air-oholic” like I you can just have one and that’s good nuff.

I know of such deprived individuals. Generally shoot/hunt with a shotgun. "Keep it around for the kids" or "Had pests in the garden/garage/barn".

Man they don’t know what they’re missing out on

The only individuals I can think of might be the few that got a bb gun in their youth and never took up hunting as an adult. My oldest friend got a Crosman V350 about the same time that I got mine and never progressed to multi pumpers, co2 or break barrels as one would expect.

I tried but it’s a futile effort. One led to another and then another and then I just had to get my son hooked so I got him one, then another. Mea culpa!

I have one , it’s doable……………One safe full lol and a few here and there.

That was literally me about a year ago. Just me and my Slavia 630 for over a dozen years oblivious to the world of modern air rifles. Well she is now currently undergoing a MASSIVE (for a springer ) rebuild. I will start a thread on it soon...parts are not plentiful sadly! Then I stumbled on Matt Dubers and Air Tac hunting, etc channel and was blown away by what people were doing with air guns. I researched alot and now I have 3 . Soon to be 4 hopefully, going for the ghost! She will be my heavy hitter, longest range, fury critter-giter. If you told me 2 years ago I would spend this kind of money on air rifles I would have laughed at you. Alot. Funny thing I don't miss the money but if I haven't shot for a week or 2 I get a little twitchy

Yep! Same here. When I first started looking at air guns, I thought “how can anyone spend $200 on and air gun?” My Crosman 2240 led me to a Diana 34 and she led me to a TX200! It’s a terrible addiction but what can I say!

Me too. I have five right now and a couple more I gave to a step son and I can justify having every one of them in great detail. Just ask my wife. Now if I could just get that scope I have been needing and those slugs and then there is that mold I have been wanting. IEEeeeeee

 

[CTAirgunner]

I tried.... thats where that statement ends... I tried. lol

 

[PasadenaMike]

Haha yes one, one of every caliber

 

[Danman]

Yeah but then you collect all this shiny ammo for that  one gun in that one caliber, some shoots well others not so much. Then u get to thinking....hmm maybe if I buy another gun I can save some money (lollzz) and use some of this ammo in it and use up some of my stock. And so it begins. I have 2 in .177 and soon 2 in .22. It's cheaper this way right?

Yes, but that is how I justify buying molds so I can melt down the bad stuff and make new improved good stuffs

That is what I do for my slayer, I melt down all the ammo that doesn't fly well for me and boom I have fantastic 155 grainers for my slayer.

"Only"

I used to have just 1 for a while(I'd say for like 2(?) years 'cause I was mostly shooting rimfire back then

Small off-topic: did anyone use Burris Scopes( Burris like those) on their .177? Are low mag ones should be pretty good right?

 

[Beanflip]

Just one PCP atm. Does that count? lol

Im sure you own other airguns too it doesn’t start with a pcp there’s always a gateway something or another
