There’s an old adage in shooting circles that regularly does the rounds and it carries a simple message which underpins this piece – ‘Beware the man with one gun!’
COLLECTOR OR ENTHUSIAST?
Many of us involved in the wonderful world of airguns are collectors, and that inevitably means building up a number of guns, often acquired just for the pure enjoyment of ownership.

However, enthusiasts with a significant collection of hardware at their disposal, have a dilemma, and it can be problematic; namely, which rifle to use on any given day.
