"Standards" Currently in Production

[Phoebe]

Accepting that there's some personal opinion in answering, what air rifles currently in production do you feel are the go-to guns in the sport? For example, the R9 is safely considered the long reigning king of springers; the Marauder as a can't loose PCP, the QB78 a precise shooting CO2 rifle for cheap money, etc.

What would put on the list and why?

The Diana 34 is one everybody should try at least once as a great go to gun.  For a great value in a fixed barrel I like the Diana 48.

Crosman 2240 for modularity in co2 power, the Daisy 880 for a cheap accurate pumper, and the Red Ryder for slinging bb's.

The QB78(D) rifle is pretty iconic, as is the Beeman P17 SSP pistol.

Although I generally prefer wood stocks, the diana 34 ems synthetic is great quality. If I could have 1 "standard" it would be a 48.

The r7 is an obvious standard on GTA.

With the Qbs being the most fun.

While it’s seems to be a cheap PCP world I still think the HW30s/R7 is a must have.  I see airguns as recreational and the HW30/R7 is an amazing, well made, easy to grab and shoot all day rifle.  Very accurate and most of all fun little rifle. It’s the 10/22 of the airgun world……only better made.
