So, you are allowed only 1 air rifle (I know, I know, I know;  so unfair) and it has to be gas piston, not spring and it also  has to be .22.  
It is for hunting small game and pottering away at targets, plus, of course , being air, general fun plinking.
What is it and why?

Diana ar8. Accurate. Well made. Comfortable. Not to heavy, carried it around from 2.30pm to 7.45pm tonight and still wasn't an issue. Can leave it cocked or decock it. Plenty enough power to drop a young goat. Easy to load in dark.
Having said all that only second gas ram i have had.

Actually I'm investigating one of those locally today, so I may have more news on that by early next week.
Or I might wait for Kruzaroad to buy one, tune it, and flick it to me later, preferably for half what he pays for it.Big smile
I'll keep you all posted.

You must, surely, be getting bored with it by now!
How much?

Yep, the idea of that power in a single shot with fixed iron sights is encouraging, especially given the cost.
But i'll have to wait for KiwiTR6's screw sets to arrive for my Gamos before I purchased another.  The CAT trigger is acceptable, but, after using the 97 for a while now, it's like comparing a Ferrari to a Massey Ferguson.

Not a gun I'll get bored with. Espially with the ability to stalk young goats. Even if i never manage to shoot another, still gets me out during the day when don't feel like evening and night shooting.
