what 2 air guns will you normal pick for casual plinking?

[FL22]

After consideration ,I'd go w/ my Kral NPO3 bottle /reg conversion & my BSA R10. My Avenger bottle conversion lost out after I scored on the BSA. Oh , and I'm too cheap ,err, "economically challenged" to plink w/ a.25 !

One reason why I don’t want a .30, I know it would be bad times for my wallet .

Premium 200+ meters/yards
1.Western Rattler/FX Dynamics slugs
2. Taipan Splash slugs
3. RTI Mora slugs
4. Huben k1 latest gens becouse have better barrel. Slugs

Brocock are good and good looking but just don' meet the performance of premium guns for that price. And Epic airguns.

2. Reximex Meta Premium slugs
3. Hatsan Blitz 777 pellet/ Hatsan Bully slugs

90% with my Notos and maybe 10% with my .25 Hatsan Flash QE....a distant third with my old Beman C1 in .177 since it's the airgun that started me out of my Crosman V350 days.

Welcome to the HAM forum!

Casual plinking is always .177 springers for me, with the TX200 ruling the roost! Low ammo cost, simple to shoot, tons of pellets to choose from, and quieter too vs my pcps.

 

[Chris two-furs]

I really enjoy plinking with my HW 75, CP 88, and Notos.

 

[Chris two-furs]

For me it would be a Crosman Challenger or a Benjamin Semi-Auto Marauder.

I would also lean towards my BSA R12 XLX or my FX Crown in a Saber Tactical Chassis would be right up there.

John

John, I am eagerly awaiting HAM to review that BSA R12. How do you like yours?

Nothing casual about those top guns, NICE collection! Welcome to HAM.

Chris,
First thing people say is how amazing it looks. The ergonomics are fantastic and it just feels quality to hold and shoulder. The accuracy is exceptional. The only down side is that I would like to be able to tune it to my liking and choice of pellet. With that said, that is mostly a "me" problem. I don't know when to leave well enough alone.

Richard at Airgun Revisions is has some in inventory. They are worth checking out.

HW77K in .22
AA TX200 IN .22

Just got an HW97K in .20 that will become a regular as well.

If you decide to do little fun shooting/plinking for no other purpose than just having some fun. What are the 2 top choices from your air gun collection?

I will start it off.
HW110 in .177
HW30NSE .177 (newly aquired) prior to that it was the HW50S .22

Currently

Snowpeak Max 1 .25. But that is relatively new and I am breaking it in. I like it so far and it will stay in the regular rotation.

Airforce Talon or Condor .22 or .25. Depends on which one i grab. My usual plinking guns. Just so reliable and accurate, hard not to shoot them.

Recently
Reximex Throne 2 .25
FX Royale 500 .25
Niksan Ozark .25

Amazing the unstated improvement in PCP rifles in the last couple years.

For casual plinking, I’d definitely put the HW30 in my top two—right up there with pizza, naps, and that one sock that always goes missing in the laundry. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of fun: compact, reliable, and perfect for when you want to feel like a sharpshooter without the pressure of a high-stakes showdown!

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

For nice quiet backyard shooting, that would be my JTS Standard. The power knob makes it easy to switch Gears. And it is nice and quiet.

Thanks for the reply. Just always have noticed the quality for what seems is exceptional value. Then we've heard about those legendary barrels, those Minelli stocks, etc!

 

[Jaabaa]

I just got the JTS Standard today. It's a quiet thing.
A cheap gun that is fun if you like to tinker is a QB78 or QB 79 series. Specialty stocks, All maintenance and repair on YouTube. Parts from 800Crosman. Put some buckrail stuff on it and your good to 40 yards in the summer. I shoot it sometimes in the winter downstairs. It's a can cutter to. If Dragon Airguns sends it, he tunes them first.

 

[MountainSportAirguns]

I don't always waste ammo and air...but when I do it's the .45 Rattler. Haha

I guess mostly the Seneca Eagle Claw lever action carbine .25. I love that thing but Airforce Escape SS .25 and the Escape UL .25 gets used just as much really. It's pretty much equal time on all 3 of them. I like to rotate them.

Daystate Wolverine in .177 (my Field Target Rifle) and then the Brocock Atomic XR .177 as a carbine.

How are you liking that Reximex Throne 2 .25 caliber so far? Not hearing much about that rifle so far so would love to hear more?

It is a lot of rifle for the price. A little underpowered at stock settings. Probably needs a little larger transfer port too.

But all the adjustment of the $2k plus rifles, sub 1/2" groups at 45 yards using JTS 25.39GR, 11lbs with scope, moderator, picatinny extension and ARCA rail.

Absolutely no issues with the rifle quality wise.

Replaced the 0.5L aluminum bottle with 0.7L CF bottle.

Discovered FX bottle adapters will let you hot swap bottles but Reximex always blow the oring out. Angled vs flat face.

It is my main squirrel gun, sits on the porch when I am home and has yet to fail. Not that we get many squirrel anymore

I don't buy many new guns but for under $700 (before Tariffs) it was a great deal and could not be more pleased.

If I could find one I'd buy the Reximex Meta Premium too.
