Choice

[Rez 4,961]

Those of you who own more than one rifle... how do you choose which to take out with you? Maybe specifically those who have 3-4 maybe...

 

Stresses me right out before I go. Fortunaly, I have 3 different calibers so maybe application makes the choice, but knowing any caliber is fine, it doesn't help that much. I can't imagine having two .22's for example.

Out of all the ones iv got Rez there is only one in 22

 

the rest are 177 and thats from a 22 man lol

 

which ever takes my fancy at the time i open the cabinet but its ether the hw100 hunter carbine or the Daystate Merlyn

 

but if im out for feather its the SI BROWN TUNED TX200hc (i know mark but iv not got another springer yet)

 

if we drive the fields its the BSA ULTRA 22 nice and compact and perfect for shooting out the tank(4x4)

 

different rifles for different jobs rez

 

mind the new kral puncher pro will not belong on coming to mine to live with the rest of the family

 

nearly pay,d her off now lol

I've not had that dilemma often pal.

When i had the 100 in .177 and the tx in .22 I got brain ache trying to decide which to pick up so I took them both out and left 1 in the van in case I made a bad choice......then came the dilemma, which do I leave in the van....for f#*k sale.. ..decisions decisions?

i flip a coin even when the pcp wins i usually over rule it and take the springer any way.. both .177

and night time manoeuvres are usually on the farms or around buildings so i take the.22 cat less chance of passing through and damaging stuff!

i just used to pick the first one up to hand

Always pick up the air arms s300 thats my current favorite then any other one as a back up gun

.177, .22, .25 in PCP and I just take it in turns although I must admit it is usually FAC.

Out of the ten i have only two goes out with me in the field and that is HW100k .177 and BSA tuned ultra .177

Depends what I`m after.

Full camo job on the wily wood pigeons - pcp,- if 30 yds and under, either cal (.177 or .22) as under 30 yds the difference in trajectory is not worth talking about.

After 30 yds I tend to go .177. ( threading a shot through spindle branches)

With pcp I get little to no movement in myself and my dog sits like a statue when something comes in.

Hide shooting and a long day I lean towards the tuned T Rex,- as many shots as you like, one silent click cocking (short stroked) and doesn`t miss - usually

Classic hunting,- takes everything you`ve ever learned to get you some good results, - if you want " the challenge".

I'm trying to cut my collection down to 1 PCP and 1 Springer, both in .177 - if I can stop other rifles from magically finding their way into the house () the choice should be fairly easy

 

...... The springer for when I fancy some good ol' back to basics shooting and, the PCP for everything else and night shooting.

 

That's the theory so far
