Random Thought Thread

Very nice! My current air rifle has been forlorn in the closet for too long. RWS/Diana 52 in .22. Oops, this thing really needs (and deserves) some love. Thanks for posting that and prompting me to pull it out and give it some attention/maintenance. The side lever is weird but this thing is awesome! My squirrel hunting rifle was a random breakbarrel I picked up in Argentina circa 1980. I remember sticking anything/everything I could in that barrel in my younger days 😂 Hmm, that thing must be somewhere in mom's place...

Oh that's a beauty. I have an old FWB 300S which is a side cocker. I like that system quite a bit actually.

I'm sure you have a nice collection of air guns as I seem to recall seeing you trade off some of your extensive "hoard" of CPK to fund for a couple of "high end" units. ;)

I do have another sample... one of my favorites that I should probably get out/up and shooting again.

That's a great one. The squirrel would not have appreciated that one, and neither would your roofline I imagine. I had been out of air gunning since the mid nineties. I have the Theoben, a couple springers and one PCP from that era. Boy, how things have changed with regard to how the tech in that industry has progressed. I did pass a couple decent CPKs along a while back in trade for a new FX Impact Mk3. It's mind blowing, figuratively for me, literally for various members of Order Rodentia.

Wow! Air gun tech really has been progressing since I bought my guns in the mid 2000's. I was just looking around at some of the FX current offerings and I found this impressive video of a guy shooting the edge side of a playing card at 200 yards with a .22 cal pellet! 😲 (Edit: .22 Hybrid Slug)

Apologies if I contributed to that feeling in the other thread(s). Sometimes I just can't resist.🥺

No worries. I didn't bother looking for anyone in particular to blame...I merely responded to complaints received via "reported" posts...and then took in some of the carnage. It'll never change.

The only CPKs I regret are the ones I didn’t buy when I had the chance.

I was at my remote cabin last week and was playing with my SDFK. For the first time in my life I thought if I could only have 1 knife for any scenario, this would be it. Crazy thought, and I really want a DEK2, but the CPK knives are truly exceptional. When it is time to be cremated and scattered in the wilds, I hope a CPK is with me!😀

I've had similar thoughts. But then I also think that the SDFK and the DEK1 would be my ideal combo for just about everything what needs knifing.

And as I typed the above, my FK2 started glaring at me from across the room, so I can't leave that behind either. 😂
