    Your idea of "best" and mine may differ, hence there's probably no correct answer.

    Have fun though.

    Agreed.
    There may be some tangibles come into play, the remainder is personal preference/opinion.

    The best I don't know but my preference is HW for the HW100

    But too be honest I'd imagine most of the decent companies are much of a muchness.

    It's impossable to answer because with some you deal direct with the factory, with others an importer, some are made specifically for the UK 12fpe, others are FAC rifles with weak springs

    And what is best? how can you compare a £1500 Daystate with a £150 SMK.

    You could ask which manufacturer has made more classic must have rifles, than has made instantly forgetable pups?
    I would think Theoben are hard to argue against.
