Down to two working airguns, both of which I enjoy shooting. Didn't think I would miss having three to choose from. First-world whining!

I know exactly what you mean.
Let's form a duo.
I had three 853s to choose from, depending on what kind of shooting I wanted to do.
Two, in relatively close in time, have developed problems that only a rebuild on both of them will
most likely fix them.
I too feel deprived of not having that option to choose.
I could fix them, but right now I just don't feel the "want to" enough to tackle those jobs.
Now I'm down to one and waiting for the third shoe to drop.

At least you can choot ! Having them and not being able to choot is worse! First-world whining part 2 ;D

We could form a trio. Here’s our theme song:
Let’s sing the sad song of deprived pelleteers
To whom shooting only one gun is the worst of their fears.
They have plenty of pellets and targets galore,
But alas! For guns they lust more and more.
Would a dozen suffice? they ask themselves
As they see they have no room to add any shelves!
There’s no cure for this; it’s like rolling a log.
So it’s time for a bit of the hair of the dog!
Brewbear, I feel your pain.

Sounds better in 4 part harmony ;)

This is awesome! Right up there with "You got to check your screws" the Springer Airgin Song!

I don't suffer that.

Well, I've done it again,.... reduced the rodent target population to almost non-existence.
My first round, Ground Squirrels, are non-existent now, going on 3 years; a localized extinction.

I am at the other end of the spectrum, which gun do I want to shoot. I am at the mercy of the weather right now for shooting. A swampy, mosquito infested, muggy yard is not my idea of a fun shoot right now.

I had a ridiculous amount of airguns (for me) 16 total.... I offered nine of them to one person to save on shipping. I was just going to gift them but the person was kind enough to pay me a substantial amount for them, immediately, I missed two of them. Replaced one already and have another on the way. , gives me a total of seven airguns. Seems about right. PCP's, pumpers, and a couple springers.

Indoor shooting with a low-powered gun?

Oh no!!
Which one is not working? I’m sure we can help get it going again.
Used to live in Naturita, learned to ski at Telluride, lived in Greeley as well.

Indoor shooting is not an option with limited space and the zoo living with me. I would rather be safe than have to patch up something. Sometimes in the afternoons when it has cooled down I will sit on the front porch and pop few cans with the co2 artillery. Eventually I will have a place in my shop where I hang the guns out the window. Still going through stuff that I don't need or work related in there.

The 880 intermittently hisses from the loading port as I pump air. Even when if doesn’t hiss, it isn’t retaining the air. I ordered a valve assembly and some seals.
Naturita, Norwood, and Nucla have been called the Bermuda Triangle of Deer Roadkills. Telluride sometimes is referred to as To-He**-You-Ride. As for Greeley, I don’t know any nicknames but I suspect there are some uncomplimentary ones because of the meatpacking industry. 🥩
