I inherited 5 airguns from a relative. I don't know much about airguns but would like to have one around for casual plinking and varmit control. Then I'd keep two more for my kids to grow into.
What I got: Webley Patriot in .22 RWS Diana 46 in .22 RWS Diana 34 in .22 Beeman R9 in .20 Beeman R9 in .177 So which two do you think should go? My only thought so far is to keep the .22s so I only need one type of ammo. Is there something else I should be considering? What would sell the best on the used market? |

If it were me, I'd get rid of the Webley and the RWS 34. I like the Patriot, but frankly yours is in the wrong caliber. If it was in .25 I'd consider it a keeper. In .22 it can't do anything the other guns can't do. I love RWS 34's. but they are fairly cheap and pretty common. If you REALLY need to limit yourself to 3 guns, this one can go. RWS 46 is a good choice in .22. It's a good magnum gun and I like the underlever design. This is a good optics gun since it has a fixed barrel. I admit, I have a weakness for the R9/HW95 guns. They just do everything right, and the quality of these guns are superior to the RWS breakbarrel guns (RWS guys- don't hate me, I love my RWS guns, but you know in your heart I'm right here). Your R9's are in the right calibers, the .177 gun is a great field target and plinking gun, the .20 is a fantastic pest and small game gun. Anyway, my $.02, for what it's worth. |

Keep versus sell - What is your goal? Of the guns mentioned, the R9's are the only ones I recall much about. They were nice rifles. I suspect they are the nicest to keep - and the most profitable to sell. The R9 is an HW95 (sold as R9 in the US via Beeman). New 95's are about $400 (not sure how available .20's are - very quick Google, all are similar price range guns). They have the Rekord trigger - which is quite nice. |
