I would have to say that it would be my Marksman 0035, I recently got it back up and running. I put a gamo 4x32 scope on it and let same lead fly. It took about 30 shot to get it to zero and I have not put it down since. It gives me dime size group at 20 yards and it has proven to me that good thing do come in small packing.

The rifle I am shooting/tinkering with at the current time. Some of my rifles I have not shot in months. I think "hey I should shoot that one", and I'll get it out and punch some paper with it. Then I remember what I like about and maybe that which I don't, but no gun is perfect. So I'll have some fun shooting for a day or two and it'll be my current favorite, till I notice another that's been idle too long.....

Lately my most fun shooter has been my late '40s Crosman 102 multi-pump repeater.

Something about that little rifle that makes me want to shoot it. Not a match rifle or a powerful hunter, but at 15 yards with it's Sheridan rear sight and Daisy wadcutters, it puts fear into the hearts of pill bottles, coke cans, and spinners.   ;D

 I'd have to say my Benji 397. I just like the way it handles & feels. No recoil. Also no counting shots like with co2.

I would have to say my B40. I have tuned it. Mounted a 4-16x40 centerpoint on and got the trigger set just right.

Also being a Copy I will put any pellet / grain through it. Fun to try different pellets I find on the shelf/sites.

My Crosman 1377 with steel breach, stock, and some home done trigger mods.  It is just plain fun   ;D and the one I reach for the most.  I don't mind the clickity clack of pumping and usually pump only 5 or 6 times.  I'm not into power, just accuracy for hole punching.

ALL of them. :)
But, one REALLY fun gun to shoot is my project QB-57 I built for my grandson.

A good question.......the R7, or..RWS240. Thinking the BSA Lightning might take that spot soon though. Really, the smaller light guns for just shooting fun.

Well, as a new member, I might as well just jump right in here.....

Being a paper killer, I think the one I have the most fun with is my Avanti 753. Easy to pump, accurate as all getout, and no recoil. I can almost guarantee a hit somewhere in the 9 or 10 ring.

The next one would be my recently acquired R9.

Welcome to GTA "Wreck", nice to have you with us. 

As for me, I'd have to say that the guns I really have the most fun with are my cheap chinese shooters, like my B-3's, fast deer rifles, QB-57's or my B3-1 "AK" rifles.  I just find it so satisfying to get such crude, cheap rifles to shoot to their maximum potential, I just love it.  If I had to pick just one of them I'd have to pick my  2 QB-57's, they are just way cool and fun to shoot.

jeff... you need to sell that fast deer to me. I hear that they are nothing but problems ; ) and being the great pal i am i will deal with that headacke for you...lol. I got to say my favorite gun is my 753 avanti scoped witha 3-9x32 bug buster. I go on insect safaris with it, small birds are my trophies and it will do minisniping in the grandest of ways... wicked fun.

i would have to say my qb78d.22 i cant use it in colder days so i put at least 300 pellets in her 3x a week,from may to early sept...mine has been tuned to hit low 700,s and accurately it does ...qb,s are about 6lbs or 7lbs depending on mounts and scope then a pocket full of wadcutters weighing 14 grain... I like co2 depending on what its gonna be used for cause for hunting small game i just want to place my pellets in then fire away not be always cocking it especially when im in a prone position ....i have a tko brake and they dont even hear me coming ...

Can't really tell, everytime I pick up a gun and shoot it I go, Wow !!!! ..for one reason or an other  ;D ;D

Post by: longislandhunter on August 18, 2010, 10:13:09 PM
Gabe,,, I actually have 2 Fast Deer rifles... one in .177 and the other in .22  :)

Both of em are fine little shooters and instant death to any starling that dare enter my yard.  :)

For sheer destruction - the Drozd Blackbird. Spitting BB's at 1200rpm full-auto! It rocks this old man's socks... ;D

For paper punching and hitting ANYTHING I aim at - the Daisy 953 with an old (Made in Japan) 4x32 Tasco scope.
The Daisy 880 with Daisy 3-9x32 is a close second.

My Airwad Dave tuned Tech Force 6 in 177, accurate and fun, light and topped with a 6x32 BugBuster, it's the one I reach for most often.

I must say the Drozd is my fun gun too. Nightstalker is not bad but it just can't match the full auto blast everything that moves properties of Drozd BB. For paper punching and shooting flies the FWB300 is my choice :)

No question in my mind.  The smooth shooting and super accurate RWS 24!

Fun, fun, fun!

Just love my RWS 48 in .177 caliber.  I shoot it with open sights and do very well.  It is beautiful and powerful.

So far at least, my .22 cal Crosman 800X, with a GRT-III trigger & Turbo Tuned by Gene, - is a tack driver at 50 yards.
Title: Re: the shooter you have the most fun with in your stable
Post by: tpw on August 19, 2010, 09:33:12 PM
right now it is my MM .22 34p. i also shoot my b40 alot but the 34 is alot lighter to carry and it has expensive tastes in pellets. the 34 shoots the peak wc pellets better than anything else ive tried so she is a cheap date lol. i have a tuned 22 b26 coming to me in a few days and i also will have a tuned 22 gamo 68 that ill have next week that is suppose to be a tack driver w/hobby pellets so my fav might change soon.

B28 with a Vortek kit in it using JSB 8.4gr pellets. From my deck I can shoot out to 70 yards and I like shooting the peanuts away from the Jays just before they grab them.

Another vote for the Marksman 0035's. Both of mine are always a lot of fun too plink with. Both tuned by pro tuners CDT and MM. Can't decide which I like better. MM has a smoother trigger, but my CDT still can bust a starling at 20 yards. But for my high end shooters, the nod goes to the RX2. It's everything a hunter could ask for. The RX gets top honors only because my FWB 124D mkII is still in stock form. I'm sure this will change when I drop the old school kit into her!! ;) But there's always my R1's too consider..... tjk

This is TOUGH! I would have to say my Crosman 800X. That seems to be the one I go for every time I open the gun cabinet. I actually think,"give someone else a shot." and pass over it. Boy, is that one accurate and powerful airgun! A real pleasure to shoot.

  Since i just got my marauder in the mail a few days ago, it of course is the one i'm having the most fun with. I think even a few years down the road.. it may still be my favorite. After only shooting springers, its amazing to me to easily connect my scuba tank to the gun, turn the knob and watch the needle rise to 3000psi. Done. Then it's equally amazing to pull the most glorious trigger i've ever felt, with it's definitive 1st stage and crisp break at the 2nd, and actually see my pellet travel through the air to hit EXACTLY where i was aiming, without a flier one. All without barely a sound. With 30ft/lbs. Incredible.  J
