If you could have only one gun

[PasadenaMike]

This is a tough one because who really wants to have only one gun? Nobody. But If I could have only one I’d probably choose my leishy classic because it’s tiny , powerful, reliable, accurate, multi caliber and just plain awesome but this is Merica and I will always have a lot of air guns I could’ve chosen a multi pump or a springer but nah I love my leishy

Daystate Alpha Wolf. Might as well have all the bells, and whistles.

at this point my .30 cal EVOL

That would be an awesome one to have as a one gun deal

Only one rifle it would have to be a 22 cal. I have never shot one, but probably an American Air Arms Evol Paradigm .22.

Seems like Toms guns are coming up quite a bit maybe I don’t need two kidneys?

Had this in a backpack for a while

As much as I love my EVOL, if I could only have one airgun there's no way now it could be a one trick pony without easy adjustability for a few different power levels. I think I'm going to have to go with the Alpha Wolf as well. Although I don't really need tons of power for most shooting and my Cricket Carbine Mini in .22 is a hell of an accurate rifle out to 50 yards.

Truth is it would be really hard to make a final choice on it.

I agree it’s a tough decision.

I know, it would be boring having just one gun, half the fun of an outing is deciding which one to take

 

[pan60]

my first thought would have been something like a .22 or lower power but after the .30 i have decided i can hit a squirrel or rabit in the eyeball and decapatated game still taste great

Yeah I’ve smacked some ground squirrels with my .30 Maverick it’s a loud thump.

I've considered selling a bunch of airguns to buy one extravagant one more than once. I'm just afraid I will change my mind and then buy more airguns anyway....
But if I bought one really nice one, it would be a .22 pellet shooter with air tube rather than bottle, full left hand friendly, decent to carry in the field so not way heavy or way long. Between my S510XS, and Daystate HRXL, I'm kind of already there. I keep getting tempted by the electronic Daystate and Epoch, but I'm not quite ready to go in with all the marbles. A well tuned mechanical airgun is just really nice.

Couple years ago I sold a bunch of guns to get my leishy 2 .22 350mm guess what happened? I re purchased just as many guns as I had sold but this time expensive stuff so be careful

I have a working theory that removing a gun from a cabinet creates a huge negative pressure that sucks airguns back into it's place with such force that several usually come in. Sadly, it also sucks money into a black hole...

 

[Pumacarl]

If I were going to have only one gun and I wasn't going to hunt with it, just plink every now and then, I would get a Revere in .22. If I was going to keep one for everything, hunting too, it would be a Paradigm in .25 with a lightweight carbon fiber stock.


EDIT: I have had a day of it today(with a lower priced shooter), checked this post, still agree with it 100%

 

[PasadenaMike]

Anything from AAA looks awesome and he builds these beauties pretty close to me in SoCal

I think the Paradigm is stunning, and its reputation is unsurpassed. It's just hard for me to justify $3K for any airgun or firearm. (Which might be kind of ridiculous if I have enough airguns to sell them all and pay for one, but I'm complicated.)

lol it’s funny because I’d spend $3k on air but won’t spend more than $1500 on a pb
