my air rifle, BSA XL tactical (.22). although i'm hoping to get a new one in a year or so, as my brother got his second one in year 10. i really like the falcon lighthunter classic, and the Daystate airwolf tactical, although the latter is way out of the price range.
my brother has an Air arms tx200 hunter carbine (.22), and a BSA t10 scorpion (.22 ten shot tactical, hence the t10 bit).
these are our air rifles (mine is the top one, the scorpion is the one below, and the tx is the bottom):

and this is the falcon lighthunter that i might get (hopefully):

Reminds me of my younger days, I had a Sharp Innova, wicked little gun, tweaked the pump to allow much more pressure, could get through 1 and a half yellow pages with it...just took some time to get ready to shot...
I also had a Weihrauch HW77 with the weird sliding cover on the top to put in pellets, and the break barrel one also, can't remember the number, HW80 maybe? Nice and heavy...
Not sure if any of these are still made these days...I am going back a way![]()

As far as I know, the Innova isnt made anymore, though I'm pretty sure the HW77 and HW80 are. Heavy rifles are Weihrauch's trademark! The 77 is an underlever rifle, hence the sliding breech. The HW97k is an updated HW77 design, got my first kill with one of those(second from top in the pic I posted)
Off of the top of my head, the other two break barrel Weihrauch rifles are the 95k and the gas rammed 90k

Underlever with sliding breech that's it, forgotten all the terms these days...I can still remember how heavy it was, fantastic air rifle from what I remember
Waiting for my son to get a bit older then it's off to get an air rifle , what would you recommend these days for a non-gas air rifle for a beginner? Would need to be lighter than a HW77 etc, break barrel preferably, with the ability to "upgrade"...are the karbine wiehrauchs still rather heavy? I guess it's the stock and the main chamber where the weight comes from...
@gaz gun man: wow, you have loads of guns lol.![]()
