      H i Guys, as a new member on this fine forum,
 i am interested in what types of airguns you Guys own and use, 
PCP.s Springers, Gasrams and what you use them for,
i currently own an equal number of both springers & pcp,s
 x4 of each type, i mostly hunt using pcp,s ,
i use my springers for target shooting though 
  i do use them for hunting from time -time. 
  i also love NV shooting with a Pard-008P NV scope 
and a Pard-007 NV addon being retired
i have lots of spare time so shooting is my main pastime along
with motorcycling.

currently I have a sig20 177. with a hawk scope on it. Using aa heavy pellets Rabbits,hares, quail, pheasant, duck, cat, possum, long distance bird shooting.
 Crossman1322, 18inch barrel, aftermarket stock, pumper. Hades pellets.  By far my favorite gun.
 Small bird, rat to 25m approx and a close range possum. 
 Crosman 362. Waiting for better scope, not really used yet. 
 Prior to swapping for sig, tx200 .22
 Using aa Diablo field 16gr. Same as sig for animals. Beautiful gun.
 Had a gamo fusion 10x,roadster or speedster. Lot of things I liked, more I didn't, went to member who likes his gamos.
 Was hoping to have a weihrauch buy now, but due to crap pea season then hawks bay flooding, that's probly still a month away if works starts Monday now as predicted.
 Sticking to spring or pump at moment as they self contained for power and don't like the idea of having to have compressor or bottle for refills. Or the set up costs.

Im a springer fan, no FAL so no PCP.
I shoot at a paper target club in Auckland, so I dont get out pest controlling or hunting, and a nice springer can easily keep up with PCP.

Ive got a couple of TX200s, and some vintage match rifles as I love the engineering (FWB300s's, Anschutz's, Walther LGR, Diana 75 soon).

Only Gas Ram I have is a Theoben Sirocco, its great to shoot - the ram gives it a very smooth thud. As it uses the piston and cylinder itself to be the air compression chamber its quite high volume compared to the strut type.
A nicely tuned spring gun can be very smooth and they are easier to work on and cheaper to change a spring compared to a new gas ram unit.

J S Airguns
Air Arms TX200('s)
Theoben Sirocco
HW77
FWB 300s
Webley Patriot
One or two others...

Current projects:
Too many..
