As much fun as the AR’s are all around i will say my marlin 45-70 is my favorite. I think my next modification to that one will be to buy a horse and learn to shoot off of that!

After getting into precision airguns, I'll probably never build a 10/22.
You can shoot airguns in your backyard(in town). Hit dimes at 40 yards standing. Pop dandelion tops all day. Don't even get me going on all the pellet types, exploding ones are silly fun!

I live in a congested area and I need a pellet gun. What are some decent ones? Bought one from Walmart a few years ago but it was garbage.

I was in the same boat before. I picked out a gamo swarm magnum and am happy with it. It’s by no means fancy like what bird probably has but, it checks all my boxes. .22, 1300fps, and the mag holds 10 rnds. It’s nice not having to load a round after every shot. Break and shoot break and shoot.

Didn't think I needed a new air gun! But having a mag fed would be awesome.I was in the same boat before. I picked out a gamo swarm magnum and am happy with it.

The Crosman 1377 has been made for years. The base gun is cheap, available everywhere, and can upgrade easily. The mods are endless for these Crosmans. There's an entire underworld in the UK for them, only 12 foot pound air rifles are allowed there.
I shoot a derivative of the Crosman 1300/2400 series. I have a 2300KT C02 version for backyard plinking, and a 1300KT 10 pump version that can dump 16 pumps for squirrel hunting. Both have .177 Lothar Walther 14.6" Barrels, two stage triggers, and UTG Scopes. They were from the Crosman Custom shop, which recently closed. I think Crosman and Daisy were just bought by a parent company....
The Crosman 1377/22(caliber) is $60 on sale. The rifle stock is $24 to make it a carbine. You can add a steel breech for $45 and hard mount a scope on it. At that point you have a 10 pump 600fps Carbine. I used that setup for years with just a crappy Tasco 1.5x scope! I shot so much stuff with that gun/setup. Compact, lightweight, accurate. I gave it to a buddy who still shoots it!
I've been eyeing up PCP guns for years, but I just can't justify the jump at this point. Break barrels are OK, but they're just never going to be as accurate as a solid gun with regulated air. Check out Ted's Holdover on YT. ChairGun is a cool piece of software for calculating trajectories. I think my favorite part of shooting is playing with trajectorys. After 50 yards, the pellet drop is silly but fun to predict.

Kevbo is going to absolutely despise this, shield your eyes dude.
I want to build a space cowboy lever action so bad. Like this:
just dipped my toe into the lever action water a couple of months ago...citadel levtac in .357/.38 special with ranger point precision furniture
