    I was already to agree with all the folk who had chosen the Mk1 Airsporter, it is very sleek and I love the streamlined look, and I do have 5 of them. But when the Original Model 50 was mentioned it made me think again, it's a close run thing. I think the Cadet works but the Major looks out of balance. For nicest pistol how about the Hyscore.

    Rifle has to be the Webley Mk III for me. Pistol has to be a pre war slant grip senior. I've seen plenty of Abas Major votes on this thread, does no one love the Accles & Shelvoke Warrior !!!!!

    Sexiest looking gun? Well, if your taste runs to rough sex how about this Russian home-made beauty?

    I have to go with the majority here and vote for the MKI Airsporter. Flawed only by the big BSA emblem on the butt. How much better it would have been with the traditional three stacked Martinis. I guess I’d also like to have seen it stamped rather then etched. Oh yes and a metal butt plate would have helped. These are but minor flaws in what I see as the “E” Type Jag of British air rifles.
