This seems like a good subject to bs about as any other. And it still has to do with ag's!

Let's say for a moment you just won a major lottery and had unlimited funds. (Mega Millions is up to 81 million dollars for friday!) Or perhaps that long lost great aunt passed away and left you a small fortune...

What five ag's would you buy?

Now, make this the ultimate fantasy complete. Let's just say you have absolutly no restrictions on what could by. It could be any caliber, with any fps or fpe ratings. Heck it could even have a shroud that your government thinks is a supressor. Doesn't matter you can buy ANYTHING.

What five ag's are on your personal wish list if both situations arose?

Please state which ag, and what you like about it.

Here's my list

1)Air force "Condor" I've never heard anything bad about these.

2)Career "Dragon Slayer 50" Nothing but pure power, good price. Probably will need to have it tuned since quality varies

3)Diana RWS "54" Folks rave about Diana RWS quality and accuracy, why not go for the top of the line with an unlimited budget?

4)Daystate "Air Wolf" It just looks like a darn good piece of work. 10 shot magazine. Comes in .22 caliber.

5)Barnes Custom It may take 3 years from the time you order until you actually recieve your rifle from Barnes, but I like his style of craftsmanship. Not sure which I'd want, either a large bore or shotgun. But I know I would like one of his ag's in my "ultimate" collection.


There's my five. I'm sure I could have extended that out to 10 or even 20 "top" must have ag's. Heck I know for a fact I'm gonna be eventually buying a Discovery. Would really like to get a Maruader too, and there are many, many others. But as you can see, this qould get out of hand really quickly, if I didn't restrict it to the top five "ulitmate" ags.

Let's here it folks! What's your fantasy five?!

Jax

80 Million and you still want an airgun? I'd be to busy with my Gulfstream G8 flying lessons or sailing my yacht to my summer home in Majorka. If I wanted to shoot something, I would just borrow my body guard's AK-47 or maybe amuse myself with a Sparrow missle or two off the aft deck! That said my MAC-1 USFT would be hard to beat. Maybe a Gary Barnes custom? Nah I'm gonna be way to busy to mess with airguns.

I would have slaves to cock the largest air rifle ever produced, 45 meter long enlarged version of the Diana 54.

I would use it to shoot pellets the size of Volkswagens, or maybe trucks, I dunno, haven't done the math.

1) DAQ .458

2) FX cyclone

3) R9

4) Jaxom had it right, have to have a Barnes. I want a shotgun

5) Wishcombe JW 80

If I can only KEEP 5 guns, I will trade the R9 for a Diana 34. If it weren't for the 34 I would never have fallen in love with airguns and cannot neglect Diana.

MMM CNC...

Get a CNC with a laser scanner so it can copy out parts.

- Beaumont Odin .50 (just about 5000 Dollar)

The Beaumont Odin .50 delivers up to 500 Joules. Probably more if you have enough cash. 3-5 shots per fill? Not with the cash I'd lay down.

- (Original) Webley Patriot .25 with a low number.

Just a classic, very nice, big rifle. I want one, they're great in .25. Only the Theoben Eliminator is more powerfull.

- My own Diana 48 Black Range in 4.5 tuned by Keung.

No changes to the stock, just getting the insides completely and over-professionally done, so it runs SMOOTH.

- A Hatsan 155 Torpedo .25

With every kind of imaginable tune done to it, including a custom stock.
It's a tank, come on. Mr. Green

- A full metal custom build 1077

Because plastic sucks. And well, you know, for the kids.

- Farco Air Shotgun

Why a powder burner when you can use air?

- Most Air Arms PCP's.

Starting with their Early models with full tunes, ranging from 12 Fpe to FAC versions All of them with Custom stocks, like Staffs, Breen or Ginb. Take a pic.

- Caselman Submachinegun (http://www.scribd.com/doc/3637622/Caselman-co2-submachinegun)

On HPA, WITH improvements. You gotta have something for the kids to look forward to own. Wink

Where can I get one of those Farcos!? Mr. Green

SEXY. That's just what me and Joe need for turkeys.

You're hunting gobblers on the ground any way, so why not just blast them in the body with a high powered ag in a .22 cal or higher? Any air shotgun is cool, don't get me wrong, but you can blast gobblers with a lot of other ag's too.

I don't like the idea of using slugs for large birds like turkey. Not sure why that is, but when you say using the .22 for them it makes me cringe.
