As the title states, what gun always impresses you?

For me,
It's that POS 22 cal Gauntlet. less than +/- .25" at 75 yard running at 875fps with 14.3 crappy chp's. Over 100 shots on a silly fill of 3000psi and 1300psi reg setting.

It feels like my to go gun now and beater. I hardly shoot my marauders now.

FX Crown outfitted at the moment in .25cal hardware. The absolute most accurate airgun I've ever seen or shot.

Think a lot of readers will reject this post....but I find it true for me (and I suspect from shorty's POS Gauntlet comment, he's kind of in the same boat).

It's seldom the really nice/expensive rifles that impress me that much. After all, I spend the $$$ for a nice rifle, wouldn't you expect better accuracy for the $?

What does get me are the occasional cheap rifles that shoot way-way better than you had hoped.

Exceeding expectations has always been more impressive than just meeting them.

(hard to read...15 shotsat 22.5yards)

So far as I know....as a new rifle...there isn't a cheaper PCP. So likely my expectaion of a $170 rifle played into my being so impressed.

You might EXPECT the accuracy but that doesn't mean you will always get it just for the money.
And another is my Hatsan AT44W in .22cal. It has been my "go-to" pester for a long time. Always impressed with it's performance.

My 1967 Pumpmaster 760. My very first airgun I bought new. I'm impressed I even still have it and impressed that every time I pump it and shoot it, it still brings a smile to my face from decades of memories.

The Feinwerkbau 300S. I've got one that came as a "basketcase", missing a bunch of important parts and with the seals toasted to bits over time. Still lack a few things to get 'er up and running, but borrowed some bits from a buddy's rifle just to make sure the order to FWB was complete before sending it in. Here's the result: 10 meters, 5 shots, cheap Crosman wadcutters from the bubblepack

Yep, for "old technology" they are still the accurate shooting iron when properly set up.

It would have to be my Jason Built QB, ... hands down.

if I pull out any other gun, the GS just get a little nervous,
but when I bring out the Nervous Trigger Special, They go running and screaming for the hills !

Huh. That didn't work.

There's a target at the top of the current page that shows the group I'm talking about. The two shots to the left edge were called fliers as soon as the trigger broke.

I’d have to say my Daystate Regal XL .22 non regged. If I do my part it is hole in hole at 20-30yds, gets 40-45 shots with a 162cc airtube and the ES is 20fps with it’s Harper Titanium Sling Shot System. And It’s trigger is otherworldly and I luv the mechanical sound coming from it when shot, very addicting to me.

Steyer 110. Incredible in every way. Worth the cost!

.25 Marauder!

NHGuide · « **Reply #11 on:** March 19, 2019, 08:45:46 PM »

ANYTHING FX. I am in awe of the accuracy and precision

avator · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2019, 08:49:52 PM »

10 shots at 35yds with a straight up out of the box Urban.

mobilemail · « **Reply #13 on:** March 19, 2019, 08:56:43 PM »

Just about anything from Air Arms. I don't own one myself, but everytime I shoot someone else's I am impressed by the quality and accuracy.

Veteran .25

Most of the guns that I own me in one way or another and all are surprisingly accurate for me if there is no consistent accuracy it is gone as a loaner or kept as a beater. The other major criteria is the smile factor no smile no keep

avator · « **Reply #16 on:** March 19, 2019, 10:03:20 PM »

I think the more impressive thing to me about the Urban was the low cost of all these smiles. Now I've added a CDT trigger and bought into the CNC aftermarket magazine project for a couple extra mags.
That gun now lives in the back of my Dodge Nitro in a case along with a 30 minute 4500 psi cf tank.

Marking this. I’ve got one in mind that I’ll post when I get back from vacation.

The wow factor hit me hard when I shot the wicked air rifle warp long. Now
I have 2 of them.

Sfttailrdr46 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 19, 2019, 10:49:45 PM »

Ok I will say that for a ~ 50 FPE .25 the Air Speed after a couple minor glitches is very impressive and the semi auto is a serious smile maker
