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.
