The rifle I shoot the most is my RWS model 34. Mine is in .22 caliber, with a wood stock, and Williams peep sight. It's a great rifle to practice with. I also shoot their model 48, again in .22 caliber. My Weihrauch HW 80 in 5mm caliber is a wonderful rifle as well.
For pistols, my Weihrauch HW 40 is tough to beat. It's a single stroke pneumatic in .177 caliber, and rivals many Olympic pistols in accuracy. My Webley Tempest in .22 caliber is a fun pistol, but inherently difficult to shoot well.
Beyond those, I have several vintage Sheridan Blue Streak .20 caliber pneumatics. All have been reworked by Mac1 into their "steroid" configuration, pretty much doubling their power. These are my back yard "rat rifles", and do an admirable job on them.
Check Airguns of Arizona or Pyramid Air for good deals on these "adult" air guns. Some are not cheap, rivaling quality centerfires in price. They are, however, very well made, and will last a lifetime or several. Don't cheap out - buy quality, and you will never regret it.
