What was your go-to pellet rifle growing up??? #10853746 01/10/16

I had this same model for many years when I was younger and shot a lot of pests with it and still LOVE the wok-wok-wok sound from a 10-pump!! For a serious pellet rifle, there's no topping a RWS 54 but for the $$, you'd be hard pressed to find a better value than the Crosman 2100 Classic. With this pellet rifle, I forsee lots of fun times and dead pests in his future! So what was everyone else's go-to pellet rifle growing up?? Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21. Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

I still have it, since I'm the 5th of the 5. Back sight is missing, "compression" questionable, wouldn't think of selling it.....

From age 8 till 14, the Daisy bb gun was my go-to, but it was a huge step up when I got that .177 caliber Crosman. Amazingly accurate. I could pick off hornets at twenty paces. Toy soldiers at twice that far didn't stand a chance.

Started out with a daisy BB gun and went to a Crossman at about age 8, At 12 I had enough pennies save up for a Sheridan Blue Streak. Now that I'm all grown up I use a Norica model 73 to rid the pests. Paul "I'd rather see a sermon than hear a sermon".... D.A.D.
