Tangential thread; What gun did you not even know you wanted until you saw it?

The good news is they do show up from time to time, I saw at least 2 last year in various sales. They're not dissimilar to the Anschutz 275 which are a little more common.

True, but I always see them after the sale has happened. And as lovely as the Anschutz 275 is, the Kar98k aesthetics of the Haenel 33 Senior are a significant part of the appeal (as I'm fundamentally a 14-year-old, trapped in the body of a 'responsible' adult)...
 
Lieva. Wasn't looking for one but now its on my to get list. Also some hand cannon thing I saw in a post on here. I wrote the number of it down but can't remember what it was off hand.
Then as of today I feel like I need another G10...

A lieva in .25 for plinking is definitely in my future

And the number was 629 😅

You're after the competitor rather than the classic, and make sure it's the pellet version so it's a rifled barrel! Both work with pellet or BB but realistically you want the rifled one and never put a BB near the damn thing :P

We've got the thread about "What gun do you want next" (clearly miss-titled as should blatantly be guns, but I digress), so to probably shine a more accurate light on what happens with our cupboard spaces...".what gun(s) did you not even know you wanted". You know the ones, they'd never even occurred to you, you may not have even known they existed. Then one day you're minding your own business...and there it is. Next thing you know you've adopted it to save it from a life of miss-treatment and loneliness.

Crosman 2240 pistols... I was in a shop ordering my yet to arrive HW35E. I saw a bit of a pistol sticking out from under the counter.

I picked it up and said "what is this" They replied "just some secondhand thing" I could not stop thinking about it that night, and rushed back the next day to buy it.

Within a month i had three of the things!!
