Pretty simple - it occurred to me that the airgun which I most identify with is my .22 caliber R9 "standard" meaning with sights.
The rifle Is topped with a Sightron 4-12/MOA 20 reticle, and unless it breaks it isn't coming off. I have many rifles which mean a lot to me, but that combo IS "Me".

Just wondering who has an airgun that they feel is truly "them", and if so - did you grow up with it or find it later in life?

I found mine just this year BTW...
 
👻 is #1 revere is #2 and my tiapan vet 2 tactical is #3. The vet slings slugs like a 22 lr but the ergos leave a bit to be desired, the reveres are beautiful, and accurate but lower power the 👻 has it all and just fits right! Should add i lke my pathfinder a lot too as its so compact and my anschutz 9015 is great at what it was built for with the best trigger ive ever used
 
For general use, the Veteran platform. Superb shot cycle, 100% dependable. Smooth, in all the ways that count.

Next would be Ghost. It beats the Veteran for offhand and shot count (bottle versus tube), and versatility, if reconfiguring suits a guys fancy.

Field target use specific would be USFT.
 
My custom G30 with the TJ barrel is really awesome to shoot and is capable of way more than I can do in my backyard, but my favorite gun is the Airforce Escape SS .25. Most people would probably not care for it because it is not regulated and does not get a lot of shots as well as being a single shot but I just love that thing. It is lite, accurate, quiet, and pretty powerful. It always puts a big smile on my face.
 
I cherish my 308 Texan and Big 9. As a big bore hunter, power and accuracy are crucial to me. Recently, I've started using heavier lead in my Texan, switching from 120gr to 154gr, which offers both accuracy and 330fpe. The Big9 also favors heavy lead, and although I've previously used 140gr, I'm excited to try around 170gr. Hitting steel at 150-200 yards or taking down critters with heavy lead is immensely satisfying. Even after 3-4 years of shooting PCP, I'm still learning and enjoying every moment of it.
 
It a tie! Well, almost anyway. I love shooting my TX200 as well as my HW97K equally, but for different reasons. The TX200 is ohhhh so smooth, but with the right pellet, that is. By the way, that's JSB 15.86 gr. The chronograph has her shooting at 645 fps, so something may be a bit awry. My HW97K isn't quite as smooth and shoots with a mite of a "twang" and recoil. Not overbearing, but noticeable. The chronograph measures her shooting 780 fps with wonderful accuracy out to 50 yards and beyond. Her favorite pellets are the JSB 15.86 gr. ,the Air Arms 16 gr. and the new Benjamin Single Die pellets. Sorry not to decide on just one of these, but they're my guns, after all. I could have made a good case for ALL my guns and rifles, but ya'll would get awfully tired reading about all my toys. Orv.

LOL, I totally get the affection for all your PCPs or others; I believe that if I didn't love them, I wouldn't keep them. My view on receiving advice is encapsulated by the saying, "Wisdom is the reward for a lifetime of listening when you'd prefer to talk." More often than not, I find myself preferring to listen. So, fire away,lol
 
Triggers! The WAR Cobra I once owned, had a slightly modified Timney, which was as crisp as any I've owned. The FX Impact MkIII is very good, but what I really want, is a single set like the Canjar unit in my custom varminter.
 
I love my ghost, although it can't fly through walls, He sure can shoot through them. As long as i feed him, take him for walks, brush him down, and keep him clean, He does what i ask him to do. Who said a dog is mans best friend.!!
 
I love all my air guns, PCP's, break barrel, and my pumpers. But my favorite, even though it isn't fancy(still look new though), is my Ben Franklin .22. It was my first not a kid air rifle. Had her all resealed last year,and even with the irons, I've made some wildly lucky long range rabbit and squirrel kills.

really hard not to love a good pumper
 
You've heard me say it before, and I'll say it again now: I'm a springer guy! I'm a traditional spring piston, wooden stock airgun shooter. My favorite? It comes down to my TX200 & my HW97K. I have pumpers and CO2 shooter as well. Please note that no PCP rifles are listed. I have nothing against them, they simply don't excite me. Oh, cold, hard plastic vs wood . . . no comparison.
