Thanks for the welcomes. In my current arsenal are a recently bought Beeman P3 and a RWS Diana LP8 pistols - also a Beeman R7 (.20 cal, which I've owned for a number of years,) and a brand new Weihrauch HW90 which I have just unpacked and haven't shot yet. My shooting is mostly target and occasional varmint - I'm trying to reduce the squirrel population around the house a little but I don't seem to be gaining much in that regard.
The HW90 is my 1st experience with a gas piston gun and I bought it primarily to get something with a little more "punch" for varmints. I'll sight it in soon and may consider putting a scope on it if I don't think a scope would make the weight more than I want to lug around - the weight is already a little overpowering when comparing it to the R7 that I'm used to so I may choose to NOT add any more weight to it. Also a little overpowering on the HW90 is the required 46 lb. "cocking effort!
I'll add one question: I thought I read somewhere that the Weihrauch HW90 was the same gun as the Beeman RX-2 and, to look at the specs, it appears that that is true. Another interesting (Beeman) gun is that the Beeman P17 appears to simply be a cheap version of the Beeman P3. Thoughts on Beeman and who make their guns.
Anyway, that's a quick run down of what I have. Thanks again for the welcomes. Any thoughts or suggestions are always welcome.
