OK, what was your BB Gun or Pellet rifle growing up? Do you still have it? I had 2, one was a Daisy Model 1894. And my pellet gun was/is a Winchester Model 435 that I still have, in fact I shot a chipmunk with it this morning. Both were from the late 60's early 70's I believe.

Too many and to long ago to recall lol. There's a mix of 3-4 different budget ones in the garage now for the boys. Always wanted to have a high end killer in either .177 or .22.

I had a Daisy..lever action but don’t recall the model. Crossman 760 which shot bb’s and pellets. And RWS 22cal that was very accurate but heavy. And a Gamo big cat. The crossman was the most fun to shoot and probably shot more than all of the others combined.

What is a good BB/Pellet gun to buy right now? My dad would never let me have a BB gun as a kid. I'm certain this is why I need to use a scope in order to hit anything now.

Benjamin makes a very good BB gun...my buddy had one and it was a shooter. For plain old fun, I’d get a crossman 760. Never seen a crossman 1400 but if J is giving it accolades, I’d check it out.
1400 was old school back in the day. Discontinued, made from 1968-1978...
Had numerous lever actions, a M1 Carbine (cocked by pushing the barrel into to stock) and the Crosman 760. The 760 was a game changer, BB gun wars were epic. Opposite side side you can only pump it to 5, yeah right, here comes 10 pumps. Killed a lot of birds. Stupid of youth: Shot one of my neighbor's prized pigeons, got the 760 taken away for 2 weeks. Every time my parents were away I searched the house for the 760, never could find it. At the 2 week mark I asked my mom were it was. Her reply, in it's box under your bed. WTF, never looked there.
Had a Crossman 760 when I was a kid. Used to play BB gun wars with the neighbor kids (only 2 pumps allowed lol). Loved taking that thing in the woods and shooting it. No longer have it but it may still be at my folks place.
I have a break barrel Ruger pellet gun now but it doesn't get used all that much. Killed a few squirrels with it.

I had an older crossman bb/pellet gun as a youngster. Killed lots of birds with that old thing. I couldn't tell you the model of it though.

Same here. I got it at Xmas when I was 5. It lasted until a garage sale in the late 80’s. Wish I still had it now.
After the Red Ryder, Jeff and I had each had a crossman that were co2, semi auto.
We killed a lot of red squirrels with em.
A few years ago I bough the “best 177 ca. Walmart had. (Don’t even remember the name. ) spent 1 day with it and returned it. Shit groupings and loud as a 22.
22 subsonic were quieter and papered better...

A little rough looking now. They don’t make the new ones like they use to 45 years ago.

Our 760 had a wood stock and foregrip on it. It was our grandfather’s and he gave it too us before he passed. Lots of critters met their demise with that ole gun.
