All .177 at the moment

Rifles:
BSA (model unknown doesn't appear marked with model #) barrel cocking, topped with C-mount and RWS 4X scope. 1,000s of pellets through this one, tighten pivot pin every 500 shots or so, real accurate.

RWS 48 side cocking, c-mount with BSA 4-12X air scope, only 2000 or so shots fired current favorite, deadly accurate to 40 yards.

Pistol:
Should be here to today, EAA Baikal IZH-46M Pistol, will try it with open sights but have base and a Leupold 2x, Tasco 1.25-4x and a Burris 10X pistol scopes on shelf from other projects. 10X LOL what a hoot if it will fit! I'll do it just for fun if nothing else.

Hope to try a .20 and .22 caliber, both pistol and rifle, in the near future.

To be honest, I have just packaged it up and sent it to BSA to be repaired. I have put about 50 rounds through with that scope. I thought the scope had shifted in the mounts so I straightened it up so the reticle was parallel to the bore and fired a few more shots and with each shot the reticle rotated further until it was an "X". I know and have talked to others that have had good luck with these scopes and said I just got a bad one. I don't know but I will give it another chance before I am too critical. I have had a Leupold scope fail on a firearm and that rarely happens. I figure a bad one slips out every now and then by everyone. I put a Simmons I had lying around on it now and I'll let you know how the BSA customer service is when I get it back.

I honestly think the best cheap scopes for air rifles are the Nikko-Sterling range.
They handle the spring rifles recoil with ease and the parrallax adjustable objective models are ideal for focusing at airgun distances.

Talking

hey, i wish i could afford a pre-charged pneumatic, but i can't, but do any of you have any interest in --AIR CANNONS--? ya know, pneumatic spud guns(made from pvc or abs)? simple, just compression chamber with fill valve/ twist valve or electronic valve to release the air. You can chunck objects from spuds, tennis balls, D-Batteries, nails, whatever, lot more powerful than combustion spud guns. load them up with batteries or something and you can put a hole in a steel garage door, etc., whatever ya want to do with it. Do any of you have one/built one. If your interested i can tell you where to get plans for them. Some complex homemade ones can supposedly launch stuff over 600 yards. Some make and sell them, such as- www.spudtech.com,
