Airgun Priorities -- its' collectability or its' shootability?

[Motorhead]

Absolutely ... SHOOTABLITY is #1    Serviceablity is #2 and being able to get said Accurate & Efficient is #3
Said "Collecting" only covers the range of having a bit of each type Air Gun.  Tho it is no where balanced having far more PCP's as the preferred shooting platform.

I enjoy the “thrill of the hunt”, so that falls into the “collectibility “ aspect of collecting, for me. I do enjoy working on guns that I buy, because I want them to function. I’m more of a collector, than a shooter. I do find myself seeking out minty specimens, but I’ll take a not so mint gun, if it’s rare and need it for my collection. :-)

So like you, totally identify with the thrill of the hunt.
