It’s a ambi. It was a 55M and I removed the cheek piece. It felt strange on my left hand.

P-Rod carbine. Small, light, accurate and handy. With a Neil Clague LDC it's so quiet I can shoot it all day long and my neighbors can't detect anything.

They might sound like a lot of work till you realize you only need 3-4 pumps for plinking.

I am so glad that I can actually choose in this instance, because I know how it goes.
If you ask me what my favorite jacket, pocket knife, hammer, or fishing reel is I could never give a straight answer.

Out of my current collection today I'm saying my Stormrider/CR600 hybrid. Super light, superlative accuracy, easy to hand pump, and very consistent with the regulator and bit of tuning I've done. On a different day I might say our Eagle Claw, but part of that is the excellent Hawke scope.

no projects at the moment, but all them I get to shoot and tinker on!!
Wish I still had all that have come and gone over the years! lol
And I don't mean expensive.
I had a blast fixing up my very first B3.
And I had a fine shooter in a Crosman 795 Springmaster.
Miss the Ruger Air hawk, and Crosman Fury springer.

My experience with air guns spans over 50 years. Co2, spring, pneumatic, and PCP, I have them all. But my favorite would be my Benjamin 312.

Walther LGV Competition Ultra. It looks great, heavy but well balanced, Has a Rowan match trigger and shoots more like a PCP than a spring gun. BSA R10 Mk2 made it a tough choice, but I shoot the Walther way more.

For the last 20 years my favorite has been a CZ Slavia 631. Hey, maybe I should call myself Slavia on the forums.

Mine is an older Diana 34 that went baxk and forth between several members on the Dianawerk Collective forum. I eventually sold it to a dear friend there only to have it gifted back to me out of the blue. Besides being a nice shooter it is a constant reminder of the good times I shared with friends in the air gunning community. If I had only one gun (and I have a lot to choose from) it would be that old horse, hands down.

I do have PCP's but most of the time I shoot springers. I enjoy them all even the finicky ones. As for a favorite, it's the Weihrauch HW97 in 177 caliber with the Weihrauch HW95 in 22 caliber a close second.

I'd say it is my .22 Air Arms S510 Extra FAC Ultralight in Hunter Green. The thing is just a tack-driver and has variable power wheel, so I can shoot it in my basement at 400 fps or dial it up to 950 fps for hunting out to 80 yards or so. If I really concentrate and rest it well, it'll shoot 1/2" groups at 50 yards with JSB Jumbo Heavy.
It's the older unregulated one, but it gets 35 shots on a fill, which is good enough for hunting and several weeks of rush-hour pesting in the back yard. If it got much more shots, my pellet and air bill would go through the roof.
I added a TKO moderator, as it still had quite a crack when the power was dialed up. With the moderator, it is 49" long, but still pretty light. If I mounted a humbler scope, it would be even lighter yet. (that's a Hawke Vantage 4-12x50 on it)
It has smoked MANY squirrels, over the years. Well over 50, I'd say.
Attached is a pic showing the rifle with 3 nutters it drilled this past Saturday.
