What is your favorite Inexpensive (fun) Pellet / BB Gun

[happymecanic]

For BBs, my plastic fantastic SSP Daisy 840, one-holer at 5 meters. For pellets, my 40$ Slavia 618. For hand gun, my Umarex S&W M&P .40 replica.

My daughter bought me a Daisy Powerline 35 multipump.  I think she paid $30 for it as a birthday gift.  I don't shoot bb's through it, just pellets and even though it is a smooth bore gun, it is very accurate up to 15 yards.  With 2 pumps, you can actually see the pellet on the way to the target.

I loved mine while it lasted, it was definitely more accurate than my 760 was.

My airmaster 77...made by Crosman.
First air rifle I bought (got it at WM), and still love it!

I really don't know why the 2100 / am77  isn't more popular.
Mine is pretty accurate and the basic mods I've made were simple.
I'm not a fan of the black stocks and silver barrel, but at 10$ a piece taped back up into their clamshell packages I wish I would've picked up both am77's at Goodwill that day.
Even if they were donated store returns as they appeared to be. ( For a while they had a bunch of airguns and airsoft guns like this and my only explanation would be Walmart return items )

The 2100 can be hard to feed pellets if you have arthritic joints or fat fingers.  I wish the receiver came in a configuration like the old metal 760s- those are superbly easy to load.  I still want one at some point as it's a solid shooter.

To date, the Beeman P17 4.5mm pellet pistol. A little challenging to load and cock, but really like the SPP function, it's handling, the trigger and it's excellent accuracy! Although not As accurate, my break barrel nitro piston Trail NP & Trevox pellet pistols (after their trigger mods) are also fun to shoot!

Have no BB pistols, but looking for an inexpensive, clipped CO2 that gets a good amount of shots from one cartridge (like the Bear River BOA?)!

That is true- wasn't even thinking of that- I guess I just got used to it, and never have considered it an issue.
It's pretty much the most accurate gun I have, if taking lack of ability on the shooter's part goes. IOW, an experienced shooter with a good bit of skill can shoot my German guns adequately well, but it doesn't take much experience to be great with that little Crosman.

Difficult to choose between Crosman 2240 and Beeman P17.    The P17 is better in all objective respects except pesting power.

Let's see, the P-17, 13xx, Model 66, 880, webley cub($45), basically whatever strikes my fancy of the day.

I have the Umarex XBG. It doesn't look like much, but very accurate for a bb pistol. This in spite of the, not so ideal, trigger. It is long and fairly heavy, but very predictable.

Yeah, once you get used to it, it's no big deal.
Of course nothing is as effortless to load as my '79 blue streak, but that's because many of real open crosman guns have screw holes in the breech for pellets to hang up on sometimes.

It used to be a Stoeger X3 I got from another member then tuned and refinished. But after seeing a pic of Tom aka t.wood-68's grandson with his first kill in the Hunting Gate, I knew where that rifle had to go and hopefully encourage another youngster to stay in the airgunning ranks, so it got very carefully bubble wrapped, double boxed and sent off to Mr. Tom for his grandson.
2nd would be the $50 Webley Spector .177 I got off Amazon. It's been tuned and now has a completely different and customized stock but still my favorite plinking rifle for the rare days my great niece actually wants to come over and shoot with me.

[ezman604]

The Varmint in either .177 or .22. Light, powerful and as accurate as you can find. Really fun guns to shoot. Especially all of this for the price. Of course the only kicker is the expense of the support equipment.

[avator]

Such a hard question to answer. We have 100ish air guns and we've not paid more than $250 for any one of the. Most below $150. How would you choose? I could basically shoot a gun every weekend in a two year period and not shoot the same gun twice. We love all of them for different reasons.

[Dairyboy]

Hard to beat the P17. That little pistol amazes me especially for such a cheap price.

[a1rgunz]

For pistols, I have to go with the P17. Just some simple modifications make it even better.

For rifles, I'd have to say the Daisy 880 I picked up a month ago has been the most fun I've had in a long time. It also responds well to some simple modifications. I've put at least one meal a week on the table with it since purchasing. Beats the heck out of carrying some of my 10+ pound springers in the woods!

Ain't that the truth..
Just one of the reasons I like the SPA Varmint so much.

I love my P17, so what are these simple modifications?  I've never heard of any.  Of  course all the recommendations on this thread are great fun guns.
