My Cheap AIR RIFLES - and Why I Don't Need Any More!

- Sometimes it's hard to draw the line... to know when we have enough yeah? If money is no object then it's different, but times are tough.

I have too many rifles. Mainly because I bought something for a specific job but then it got superseded by something more efficient when I had the funds.
I needed a multi shot ratter - got a CP-2/Diana Chaser, upgraded to a PR900/Diana Stormrider pcp, so the CP-2 is spare now.
I needed a truck carbine, bought a Remington Express Compact - then I built a better carbine out of the parts bin. So the Remington is spare now.
Needed a good quality target/hunting rifle - bought a used Air Arms Pro Sport.
Turns out to be the only rifle I really need.
I'm now officially drawing the line until better times - and when better times arrive I'm going to restrict my purchases to what really interests me - old classic English rifles, Theoben, Air Arms, BSA, Webley etc.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for watching đ
All the Best,
Drew

Real world air gunning this is what we like! No need for a shed full of ÂŁ1000+ air rifles. One top end one and a collection of various reasonably priced others for different purposes makes perfect sense. That pro sport looks lovely and classic with the new finish on it đđ» I really need to get myself an air gun research facility too đ€Ł
Thanks! Yeah I'm happy with how the PS turned out. All thanks to the super cutting edge high tech air gun research facility đ
Drew
Nice video and a great collection. I love seeing less expensive guns getting some air time. Keep the faith, mate đ
Thanks brother đ
Drew
What a lovely video, I am nearing 82 years of age I still game shoot and I still love messing about with my springer air rifles. Regards Mick.
Thank you Mick my friend. Good to hear you're still out there getting the job done, and power to you.
All the best,
Drew
That Air Weapon Research Facility!! Turns anything into something! And into something beautiful!
Another great video Drew: classic, simple and inspirationalâŠ
Many thanks!
Thank you Gian my Miami brother đ
Drew
hey man i love your channel. your talks about marksmanship and meditation through shooting made me take up shooting again, just bought my first pcp (gamo phox) which is basically a BSA Buccaneer, made in the uk. im having a great time with it again and cant remember why i even stopped. i owe that to you brother, keep up the great videos
That is so good to hear Steve! Yeah the Phox is a very capable rifle my friend, and wish you much satisfaction from your shooting đ
All the best my brother,
Drew
Nice collection Drewđđ. My HW77 is the easiest to shoot accurately out of my collection, but the ease of loading and shooting and exceptional accuracy goes to my HW95 Luxus 22. Funnest goes to the HW30s, love target đŻ and can bashing with this little rifle. đđ
Thanks Chuck! Yeah I really like the HW30 a lot - great little truck gun đ
Drew
Nice collection, I just use a HW97 now 177 and it does everything.
Yeah one good rifle really does it all for me. The 97 is excellent đ
Drew
I like that you rate the CP2, I had one as my first not-a-piece-of-junk air guns and I still recommend them to anyone thinking of trying shooting but who doesn't want to commit to an expensive (over ÂŁ200 plus a scope) rifle.
Yes, I can't find one negative thing to say about the CP2 in all honesty. I bought the pistol/rifle kit and was highly pleased with the whole set up. So quiet with the supplied suppressor, totally back yard friendly, superb accuracy (mine loves Hades) - great value all round as far as I'm concerned.
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog I still regret letting mine go but I had a mate with no money who really needed something positive to do with his time that didn't involve smoking rope in front of the telly, you know how it goes. I had my CP2 pretty much permanently set up with the shoulder stock on it but with the pistol barrel and a red dot sight, just about the best gun I've ever had for ratting in barns and shed (after a bit of work with a stronger hammer spring and a heavier hammer). Dave.
@@davidpaylor5666 Agreed, I did the hammer spring upgrade and it brings the power to an acceptable level for humane work.
Good of you to pass it on to someone who is a little 'adrift' in life. I did similar, introducing a friend who had no direction - to air gun shooting. It really turned him around.
@@PlanetDrewdog I've seen some of your vids where you use shooting as meditation, it does EXACTLY the same for me, focussed mindfulness is essential for good shooting and equally so for good mental health. The mate I gave my CP2 to was a bit down in the dumps at the time but a couple of sunny months and he got himself into a far better place, picked up some work and now has a partner, a kid and good deal of personal happiness. The thought that I did my bit was more than payment enough.
â@@davidpaylor5666 nice one
Greetings from Rosarito Baja California Mexico đČđœđșđžđ€
Nice collection and great video as usual.
Thank you kindly William đ
Drew
cool as, bruv, stay safe, warm and happy, surrey
Thanks Michael my friend - you toođ
Drew
Hmmm you definitely need a Weihrauch in that collection it doesnât matter which one you can go light or heavy weight, but itâll be good out of the box and when you inevitably take it apart itâs lends itself to being tuned, polished internals, different spring guides, short strokes, seals, piston buttoning and all that good stuff. you like a paint job you donât have a gun with a Cerakote thatâs a rabbit hole đłïž I discovered some of the coatings are restricted to military and police use only you thoughts on that would be interesting.
As for pistols I didnât see the poor manâs pistol in your collection a catapult.
Thanks David, yeah I'll look into the Ceracote thing for sure. As for Weihrauch - I've admired every one I've had the pleasure of shooting, for sure.
I'm just of a mind that I need fewer rifles, and not more - at least until better days financially!
Drew
I have too many too. A $40 Spanish Daisy from a Garage Sale, a $40 B3 from the Gun Show and 3 Weihrauch's. I would buy a nice AA at the right time.
Yeah AA's are very nice, and well worth buying used at the right price. No way could I have afforded a new one.
Drew
Nice selection or air rifles. Definitely a well chosen group of shooters. Thanks for sharing Drew.
Thanks Gman - yeah they'll do everything I need đ
Drew
â@@PlanetDrewdog Hay Drew, I hope you're doing well? Any videos coming soon? Do you know anything about a store called airgun spares, the country store gunshop in the UK?
@@gmanneod8085 Hey Gman - I hadn't heard of them but I just googled... interesting shop.
Yeah I have a couple of videos in the mix right now - I've been working away for a couple weeks but I'm back in the saddle again now đ
Nice collection đđ
Thanks đ
Drew
Beautiful collection. Would definitely recommend a 22, for closer ranges they are a lot of fun. Heavier grain for making a mess with tins of water in the garden. Top stuff
That was enjoyable!! I love the CP1 in the stock!!! so kool and different! Great camo paint jobs! And the refinish on the Pro Sport is perfect!!
Thank you my friend! đ
Drew
your outside sitting spot and collection complement each other perfectly. That stubby
Yeah that little 'mare's leg' shortie is fun.
Drew
I like the guitar stands! Great idea.
Thanks brother! Yeah they seem to do the job in fine fashion đ
Drew
If I lived in the UK, I would have mostly springers as well. I live in the US and 90-foot pounds really puts the hate to a rat. I still use springers and all air guns have a place. springers don't need air support and that is part of the beauty!
Yeah I agree Mark. We're pretty screwed over here but we get the job done - but with 30, 60, 90+ foot pounds you can sure reach out further đ
Drew
I started with a remington tyrant break barrel springer. I love that gun for the price it was honestly very good.
Recently upgraded to a weirauch HW 97KT synthetic stock stainless barrel.....brother its a beautiful thing.
It loves the weirauch pellets in it. I have a nikko sterling mount master scope on it and it is bang on point.
Yeah I had a Tyrant - damn good rifle for the money. Congrats on the choice of a 97 brother. Beautiful rifle đ
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog thanks for the response, yes I thought I would treat myself and the 97 is the kind of rifle you only need to buy once.
there is a really cool vibe off this channel. no fibs. low key. good karma.
Really nice comment my brother, thank you đ
Drew
Really like the short carbine you made. Great collection! There is always "just one more" around the next corner.đ
Thank you Robbin. It is a nice thing to shoot now đ
Drew
Heyup Drew, loving the CP storm rider Frankenstein job, enjoyed the collection
& the balloons đ cheers mate, Jon đ Hawkes Eye TV đ
Yeah got to keep the balloon population down Jon. Tough work but someone has to do it.
Cheers my friend đ
Drew
Awesome video, Iâm a wood carver just did a stippling job to my 8 year old daughters Red Ryder. My Dad still has mine.đ
That's cool brother! I just recently started experimenting with wood carving - I have a couple of stocks to practice on.
No doubt it'll be a train wreck but it's really enjoyable đ
Drew
Short and sweet, but full of content. Thanks!
Thank you đ
Drew
Great collection Drew. Theres just something about a springer. Thanks for the video and keeping it real!
Thanks Paul. Yep, springers are my thing really đ
Drew
Drew, if you hav,nt already seen it, Kevin Costner addressing a hunting gala somewhere, wonderful insight to his love and history of guns and hunting. (park cities quail ) ( pcqc 2023 kevin costner speech )
Cool, thanks for that đ
Drew
Nice variety!
Ever heard of the Haenel 310? It is (or used to be) a cheap bolt action springer with 4,4mm lead ball ammo, loaded in 6, 8 even 12 shot magazines. My mate had a few of those and a bunch of magazines. So we made a 10 target dueling tree and had the most fun with the (rushed) bolt action and mag reloads! Never went through so much lead as quick as then :)
Yes indeed! That's a really cool rifle, that bolt action is wild đ
When times are less rough than they are currently, and I can afford to buy rifles again - I'm particularly wanting to buy 'vintage'.
A 310 is on the list!
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog same! I'll take 2 :)
just found your channel, very enjoyable! that prosport is a work of art, always had TX as a working rifle but that thing is just so pretty. great stuff look forward to more
When i see a prosport with a stock thats been looked after im clicking , love my tx200 hc in .22 fantastic out to 50 meteres , and i have an hw97k in.177 , i love that also but not as much as my hc, i own a couple of higher end pcp rifles that cost a grand over their worth and i love those too , but when i go out with the tx the level of satisfaction is heads above the way i feel when ive been shooting one of my pcp rifles.
Yeah I'm impressed with that TX for sure.
Drew
I got a 'tin bum ' tunning kit in mine , it's like it's got a silencer fitted , I can't believe how quiet it is , it's by far the best springer I've ever owned , and I've owned some ridiculously expensive custom built rifles.
Iâm new to all this and Iâm so glad Iâve discovered your channel. Excellent informative content and well presented. Bravo
Thank you Graham đ
Drew
That Air Arms TX200 is a REAL sharp shooter. (mine is .177 cal.) A bit on the heavy side (mine is walnut); but dead-on accurate IF you do your part and quite powerful. For quick and easy shooting with all the mods one can fathom, the Crosman 2240 (CO2) is a real peach and for the price, IMO, just can't be beat. Enjoyed your video, BTW!
Yeah a lot of folk rate that 2240 - maybe I should try one.
Thanks brother
Drew
Relaxed ... Super informative ... Thanks !
Thank you! đ
Drew
nice collection something for all occasions air arms stock looks good
Thank you Ian đ
Drew
Just ran across your channel and watched a few. New subscriber here. Daisy Red Ryder was the "rich" kids gun when I was a kid, I had the Daisy Cub.
Thank you kindly Thomas, much appreciated brother.
Drew
Yes the Remington is a nice rifle shoots even better with a TBT tuning kit fitted , nice rifle the Air Arms I use my favoured HW 99s .22 , nice info nice video Cheers đ»
I keep looking at picking up a 99s... I'm impressed at what I've seen on them.
Drew
@TheWeaponizedHippie Drew , you should have a look at Si Pittawaty using the HW99s .22 you will be impressed with the Si and HW99s, I am over the Moon with mine . OK Sir đ đ
Funny I have a friend that loves the Diana Stormrider. He has 4k airguns and still loves it. Not about the airgun but what you do with it. Love the collection and the purposes you have for them
Yeah I think the Stormrider makes for a good cheap beater rifle. I'm pleasantly surprised with itđ
Drew
Nice one Bro, The pistol barrel on the rifle stock looked great fun.
Be well.
Thanks Steve đ
Drew
Hi Drew even though it's not an expensive collection it is a nice collection and an all round collection. I am currently back down to just 1 rifle which is my CP2 but must say I love it to bits and am fairly content at this stage
Thanks Tyrone! What happened to your PR900?
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog hi Drew, had to sell it for some emergency funds for a medical procedure for my better half. No harm no foul I still have my 1st great love, my CP2
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Oh my brother I hope she is doing ok. My very warmest wishes to you and the family,
Drew
You have a cool collection Drew I love all springers no need to give an arm and leg in order to have the latest greatest rifles. I myself own a Remington sabre a crossman copperhead and weihrauch hw57 all in 177. Love your cp1 Frankenstein rifle looks like a mares leg shotgun đ đ. One love to all đŹđ§đ”đ° Ali
Thanks Ali my brother - yeah the CP1 is fun to use. You have nice rifles there, HW57 is very nice đ
Drew
Really like the look of your Prosport. I have a Walnut one and always wish I was handy/brave enough to refinish it and get it looking really outstanding. It came nice from the factory but isnât that what us blokes tend to want to do? Meddle and change things for the fun of it with no logical reason as to why đ Anyhow, great collection and video, keep safe brother.
Thanks Matthew. Yeah half the fun is in taking stuff apart and messing with it for me đ
Drew
Good one buddy , and yep to donât need to spend a fortune to have fun , and get some good guns , I have a b2 that my son left behind , also a mod .60 , and a cp1, pistol , and a pr900 , as well as a couple of others , then, 1 high end gun that I havenât picked up yet , soon to be reviewed and revealed thanks shaneweightman
You've got me guessing now on that high end gun... I'm gonna guess Daystate!
All the best Shane,
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog I was looking at a wolverine 2 , but the guy thought 1099 quid was ok , for gun silencer and cheap scope but I didnât , to put you out your misery , itâs one of the FX , guns I bought in the end , brand new ,, all will be revealed very soon buddy , cheers shane
@@shaneweightman The FX's I've shot are bloody awesome.
I love this channel.
Such chilled videos.
I'm still plinking about with my old CZ Slavia 630 .177.
Saw a bit of neglect for about...7 of the 20 years I've owned it since my dad bought me it.
But, still fires true. Still brings a lot of joy and I'm teaching my kids with that now.
Also teaching the older nephews and nieces with the Crosman SNR 357 for a bit of fun along side some other CO2 pistols.
It's just a bit of good fun.
I am looking at a potential rabbiting rilfe though if anyone has any suggestions.
I'm assuming .22 PCP would be ideal but I want something that'll do the job and do it with minimal stress (On the targets).
Purely hunting and cookery purposes.
CZ rifles man, I like 'em.
Yeah I'd be looking for a .22 for the bunnies, magazine fed PCP.
I'll tell you straight now - I'm not qualified to advise on PCP rifles because I'm a springer man who only recently acquired a PCP, so my opinions won't be of value I'm afraid.
I can only comment on what I have - so here goes:
I have found the PR900W (Diana Stormrider) to be effective out to 30 yds. When I say effective I mean very accurate with the right pellet, fast to rack a follow up shot if needed, and with JSB Hades is still carrying sufficient energy at the target @30yds for the humane kill.
It's negative point is it has a low shot count per fill, but enough for 20 rabbits at full power.
I'll make a video to show the PR900 safe working range at sufficient terminal power, I think it would be useful for many prospective owners.
Thanks brother,
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog I appreciate that!
My mate went full PCP before going down the shotgun and firearms (Primarily .22 rimfire) but I'm just delving into the idea.
Not only that, with the cost of living any cost cut (And fresh meat to be honest) is a boon at this point.
There are so many places in Essex I could potentially get access to it seems like a waste.
But, I will check out the PR900W as a starting point.
To be honest, the tech behind the PCP .22 rifle range has come leaps and bounds over the last 10 years since I've looked which is promising.
I am concerned about lifetime of the valves for pumping the PCP canisters over time but I guess that is a risk with anything nowadays.
Thanks dude!
Always appreciated!
Look forward to the next video!
Nice little collection mate
Thank you kindly đ
Great video Drew, that CP is sweet. Enjoy seeing the collection of Airguns, I've got a rather large collection I'll show eventually. My favorite at the moment is the Crosman Trap master 1100 shotgun. Great video, Cheers
You have a Trapmaster 1100??? How cool is that! Ok now I need a new video from you on that please Dana! đ
Drew
Where have you gone not seen for a month and I really look forward to your videos I hope that you are well and doing OK and that you are just really busy so you don't have the time to post your latest video all the best mate
Yeah sorry about that, I just had a couple of weeks working away - no opportunity to make a video.
Back now though!
Drew
@TheWeaponizedHippie no worries just checking in with you to make sure you're all good all very best mate
Really enjoyed the vid, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Shane đ
Drew
I am not a huge fan of my pallet wood b2 myself haha
But you sure don't need anything fancy to shoot and have fun in the backyard!
Looks like you got plenty of -toys- to play with.
*_Air weapon research facilityÂź_*
Yeah B2's come in two versions - 1) usable - or 2) wall ornament...
You might be able to find a used HW77 or 77K, excellent spring rifles, iron sights and a look reminiscent of a tube magazine or double barrel.
Yeah both beautiful rifles. If one came up at right price, right time - I'd pounce...
@@PlanetDrewdog I agree that you don't have to spend loads on airguns, I enjoy shooting an old Cometa 5 .22 which was given to me by a friend who had lost interest. Also, a 1950s BSA Cadet .177 which was ÂŁ40 and an Industry QB15 which was ~ÂŁ30. It's surprising how much a rusty neglected old rifle can be improved with a clean, some oil and a small piece of copper to gently scrape off surface rust, a rag and some elbow grease. The BSA and the Cometa both have remarkably good rifling.
The stock came out nice đ
Thank you! I'm certainly glad I did it. đ
Drew
You mentioned that you wanted to get a scope for that rifle in 3-9 times, so I figured I would give you my opinion of that. I've always been a big fan of the Hammers scopes and I like their 3-9 x 40, but I recently bought their 3-9 x 32mm & it's smaller, lighter, and I swear it is the clearest scope I've ever looked through! Even better than a lot of the high end scopes I've looked through! And since it's a Hammers scope, it will hold up on a springer no problem! And it's a little cheaper than the 40mm, & comes with a lower 1-piece mount, which gets the height over bore really low! Just figured I'd leave that suggestion for you. Have a great day and thanks for the video!
Thanks for the recommendation brother - appreciated, and I'll look into it đ
Drew
My 97k is the best I've ever had the pleasure of using, i have other great guns but the HW97 .22 is just the perfect fit for me.
The only thing i think i might change is maybe getting a custom stock 97k at some time.
Yeah it's a good feeling when you shoulder a rifle and it just feels made for you. 97K is one hell of a rifle. đ
Drew
I wish they sold those Remingtons in the US, it looks like a nice rifle even though its budget friendly.
Yeah I can't understand why they don't. A 20fpe version would sell like crazy I think.
Drew
I love my springers and Iâm a bit of a Weihrauch nut having two 95kâs in 22 and 177 and a 99s in 22 and the hw 97k blue laminate but also picked a beech stock which I saw locally and snapped it up rather cheap. Pistol wise Iâve an old bsa magnum in 22 which I will never sell along with my tempest also in 22. And a crosman 2240 which I carry in my kit bag everyday when Iâm out checking my rat traps on farm jobs I see too. I do have a couple of pcpâ one been yet another Weihrauch hw100 synthetic in 22 and lastly my air arms s510 tactical in 177. But I donât get out as often as I did on the rats due to health and Iâm serious considering letting the pcpâs go and get a air arms tx200 hc or the pro sport but Iâm not sure if the pro sport cater for us lefties or not as itâs a stunning rifle and would make my nephew absolutely drool if I got one. It just seems daft having two pcps sat not getting the use they were made for when I could nowadays get away with just using springers. Less maintenance less hassle.
You have a very fine stable of rifles there Jonathan, that's for sure.
I'm told that you can get a L/H pro sport but only in walnut - I don't know for sure if that's the case, but I have certainly seen one.
The TX200HC is a gorgeous rifle as you'll know, but I note that many of those who own both the TX and the PS tend to use the TX more often.
For myself, the PS suits me like it was custom made for me and I feel lucky to own it!
Drew
Love what youâve done to the stock, really suits the rifle. Also like that CP-1 in the stock, itâs different and looks fun! đ
Thanks Jon! Yes the CP1 worked out well, very enjoyable to shoot - and accurate. đ
Drew
A vid on how to antique the stock would be spot on đ
Seems like you've got all bases covered. The SNR is on my list although I'm not a very good pistol shot. Still, I'm sure I could wreak havoc on feral balloons and have a lot of fun doing it.
My armoury has grown in the last week from 0 to an HW30 and yesterday I picked up the RB2. Both gorgeous in their own right, both seconhand examples (although the RB2 is to all intents and purposes mint as is the '30). Can't wait to get on the range with them.
What did you use on the Prosport stock?
Good to hear of your two new additions Dan - I came very close to picking up an HW30 myself, excellent rifle.
Yes, you would enjoy the SNR 357.
It is also your civic duty to help mankind with the impending balloon apocalypse. Every man must do his duty in these uncertain times.
As for the Pro Sport - I took it back to raw timber with fine hand sanding and stained it with a Jacobean Dark Oak woodstain, then lacquered it, then wet sanded the lacquer with 1200 grit with warm soapy water and then a fine compound to bring a satin finish. Final polish with beeswax.
Not how you're supposed to do it but it works đ
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog I'm not sure if there IS a right way to re-finish a stock... My dad was a cabinet maker and he had all sorts of weird and wonderful concoctions for different woods and desired finishes. The RB2 has already been stripped and oil finished but I'm going to have at the '30 at some point.

Great video!
Thanks!

Just a heads up if your interested, LATC are having a charity day to raise money for protate cancer charity on the Sunday 23rd April ÂŁ10 including drinks and food there is gonna be a raffle for some great prizes including an AA S510t

I've currently got a remmington sabre 177 seems verry powerful tbh was debating on another springer but have decided to buy an air arms s510 instead hopefully around Christmas time but I wouldn't mind a cheap b2 to play around with possibly re finish and have a tinker with
For what they cost, a B2 is fun to mess around with - and the one I have is actually accurate too đ

3 is 1 for me , i hope ..
That such a nice collection.
Thank you Iwan đ
Drew
Happy egg day man.! Cheers for a wee Sunday surprise vid
Thanks Mark, and same to you brother đ
Drew
Nice collections of air guns. Surprised you don't have a Daisy 25, the real classic BB gun. The 25 pre-dates the RR by several years and a much better shooter. Got my first one when I was 8 and passed it down to my son. Got another one and shot it for years and passed it down to my grandson. On my 3rd one now and they are all still shooting great. I think the RR was made famous because of the cartoon strip and movie, not because it was a good shooter.
Yes indeed, I have a Model 25 in my sights right now... Having said that - I was very surprised at how well the RR shoots @ 20 -25yrds. Consistently accurate enough for beer cans đ
Drew
I just see on you video. You want to tune your pro sport 100% go for the vortec kit I have one in my tx you have to adjust the spring yourself if you want 12fp as it will be around 15fp also get the piston seal as well . Now my pro sport has a 22mill kit in as I shoot hft but its constant maintenance but the vortec kit is brilliant when my new stock turns up il be useing that with that kit its smooth fast and lest recoil
Thanks Marc - yeah I had decided to go Vortek - you just confirmed it đ
Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog you won't be disappointed you have to cut it down but its so easy to do these a washer set at an angle so you just cut the spring re dress it and it slots right in . Your get it cheaper if you email him then your get the piston seal as well as the kit for the same price as your just get the spring a guide kit on line the distributor for vortec is UK based ive sent a few people to him and they got it cheaper than me . Your need to cut about 2 1/2 ish coils of to get 12fp . My advice take a couple of and if you get the piston seal as well then stick 200 through it to settle and bed in . Then re cut rebed . Then chronograph it again. It will sound completely different and hold sensitivity not so bad mines set at 10.8 pellet on pellet at 25m 5p groups at 45y let me no how you get on

Awesome air rifles, bro! Have you tried repeating crossbows or the T4E line?
I haven't tried the T4E line, mainly because of the uk power limits. I can't see them being effective under uk law unfortunately. The 30j mods on the USA market would be effective maybe.
I've been wanting a Cobra Adder for some time now - much more effective than a sub 12 air rifle!

No, not so far.
Instead of paying a couple hundred pounds on 5 guns why not just buy one good rifle?
Yeah agreed. Thats why I sold everything and just kept the pro sport. I only acquired cheap rifles for something to make videos on.
