You already know what I am talking about, the Sheridan blue streak and the silver streak, which one would you choose ,if given the chance to buy just one of them? At about the same price and in good overall condition.. I know I should get what appeals to me the most, but I value your guy's opinion.. Thank you all.

Silver is worth more and will cost you more. If you're just going to shoot it, get blue. If your just going to look at it, silver. Either way, get an older one with the slim forearm. That's pre 62 I believe.

$120 is a very good price, for an original Sheridan, in good working condition.

I always thought of the Blue and Silver Streaks like this. Blue for hunting and plinking and Silver for plinking and show, lol. But in the end, it all comes down to personal preference. So get whichever one appeals to you most.

But if you want to do any hunting with it, I'd say go with a Blue Streak. It's dark matte finish would be less likely to spook critters on a sunny day. And they do make good hunting guns. They're light and handy and their size makes them ideal for hunting in thicker brush.

I love those slim forearms too.

Gentlemen,due to an emergency dental surgery, I am out of funds for anything airguns for the foreseeable future, so if you are in WA state, near Seattle in particular, and you want a 120 blue streak ,I'll tell you where to find it...
