Older Springer Top 10 Collection List.

[Hsing-ee]

one of those orginals with the very long stocks

no theobans have been added why?

Theoben is not a spring gun and there is something a bit ... hmm about them.

The Original 50 is the underlever with the full-length stock that you are thinking of. The earlier ones with the Schnabel-tip fore-end are the nicest ones.

All of the above and the very underated HW50, I remember Jim Tyler (I think) off Sporting Air Rifle mag having one and using it against the squirrels, I was so impressed I bought a HW50 mmmmmm

Will...

Just been busy with the end of contract stuff plus family is back in UK so been spending time with them.

[les-goose]

I have Airsporter and Diana g80 keep having a look on Henry Krank web site in the vintage air rifle section.A Dealer in Leeds who I use and I have found them super to deal with only about an hours steady drive from Manchester.Also try the meeting at Rivington riflemen this sunday a stones throw from you advertised in the collectors section of this site.If you needed directions to Henry Kranks I could do them for you as its easy enough from the M62-M621

[el maipino]

I saw your post on the Krank site. Book marked it. I will definitely go there soon.

Started off collecting the latest PCP's but hooked on the springers totally now apart from early and very different PCP guns.

For sheer quirkiness, add a 0.25 Bugelspanner.

The engineering is superb and they are great fun. So easy to zero the sites as well ... you can watch the pellet in flight all the way.

Other favourites: HW77 .. the older (26 yrs plus) version not modern one.
Webley Victor
Webley Service, with 3 barrels if possible (if only!)
Air Arms EX88
BSA Mod D
RWS 48/52
FWB 124/127
FWB 300S

We could add a few more but all the above are capable of some serious fun shooting today. I still use my HW77K for HFT. My daughter uses a FWB300S for 10m shooting.
Cheers, Phil
