My rifles are an RWS Model 34 TO6 Classic and an RWS Model 48 for the springers. Both wear Williams peep sights, having destroyed a couple of scopes on both of them. My pneumatic rifles include two Sheridan Blue Streaks, one dating from 1963 and the other from 1978 (both with Williams peeps), and a 2013 model Benjamin in .22 caliber with a Weaver 3-9x muzzle loader scope (for the close range parallax correction). All three pneumatics have been modified by Mac1 Airguns to deliver over 20 ft lbs of energy.
My pistols include a Webley Tempest in .22 (spring air), a Weirauch HW 40 in .177 (single stroke pneumatic), two early '70's Benjamim pneumatics (one in .177 and one in .22), a late '70's Sheridan, and a 2013 Benjamin HB22.
The one I shoot the most, by far, is the RWS 34 rifle. It's really a joy to shoot, and is about the quietest of the bunch. The Model 48 doubles its power, as do the pneumatics when fully charged, but I rarely need that. Only when shooting rats off the fence rail or cell phones out of drivers' hands.
