Hi folks, I’m new to the forum and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Eric, I live in Wisconsin and have been shooting air and rimfire for probably 35 years or so.
My air arsenal:
Sheridan Blue Streak with Williams peep sight (.20). I got this with my savings back in 1976 and it still shoots perfectly. I’ve shot at least 20 500-count Yellow boxes of Sheridan ammo through it. I can’t even begin to imagine how many starlings, blackbirds and sparrows have been dispatched with it. It’s currently my goto gun for close range gopher control.
Anschutz Model 35 (.177) with 4x Bushnell. I got this one in 1982 or so. I got it from a distributor going out of business so it came with no documentation. I have no idea how fast it is, I’m assuming it’s in the 750fps class. I shoot primarily Beeman Silver jets through it for bird control and longer gopher shots. It’s wickedly accurate so if I miss, it ain't the gun.
Benjamin Sheridan hb117 pump pistol (.177) acquired a couple of years ago. Always wanted one as a kid. It’s a piece of junk. They sure don’t make them like they used to. Horrible trigger pull renders it virtually useless, no rubber bumper in the pump arm. Just plain junk. Not much else to say other than it stays in the box it came in.
Gamo PT80 (.177). Got this at Kmart on clearance for $32 this summer. It’s really a fun little gun to shoot but I don’t have much use for guns with inconsistent accuracy so I ponied up for a ….
Beretta (Umarex) FS92 (.177). Just ordered it, should arrive on Friday. Had originally considered getting the 9mm version but don’t have near the opportunities to make that much noise so opted for the CO2 version instead.
Looking forward to trading stories and thoughts. |

Hello, and welcome to AirGunHome.com
"My name is Eric and I..." -sounds like the start of a 12-step program meeting, which you may be needing if you don't already in respect to AAS (airgun addiction syndrome). |
