Just a quick vid (slide show) of the new stock.

Too many guns to list...always room for one more :-)
Ive had my .22 pro sport since 1998 never touched it apart from a wipe down after ive used it. its one of the only air rifles I own that I can pick up and it shoots straight right from the first shoot somtimes I need to give the scope a couple of clicks but this can be after 4 mounths without shooting it so nothing but praise from me I hope airarms keep up the standard we dont need anyone eles going down the pan .good review by the way.
I have a tx200 HC in 177 with a Rowan brass trigger guard. I couldnt resist the looks of the prosport however and got one in walnut. This gun deserved something special so this is on its way from Gnib:
Will post pics of the gun with this on once it arrives, Initial thoughts are that the PS shoots really nicely and very similar to the TX200, but cocking is rather more awkward, the price you pay for looks I guess!!
Both are really great guns and although I have a number of decent PCPs the springers always bring a smile on when shooting...
Air arms HFT500, Prosport,

Ive got a .177 prosport and just can't get on with it. It's beautifully made and lovely to shoot so a credit to air arms but I just can't get on with it for some reason. Do I sell up or keep persevering? Is the main question lol

Almost certainly the stock doesn't suit your shooting style so you need another stock that fixes your head in position relative to the scope and bore better than your present stock.
The PS IS a fantastic 'out of the box' air rifle for a right handed shooter -or for a left handed shooter who never intends to use a shooting glove and is prepared to buy another stock. I found my PS with a right handed loading port but a left handed special stock really smooth to shoot and not hold sensitive at all. It was as accurate in my hands as any rifle I have owned before or since and prettier than all of them! The only rifle that betters it in the smoothness stakes is a full lazaglided (V Glided) HW77/97 or an Ultraglided TX200. Nothing else really comes close except perhaps a Theoben Fenman/Evolution if you can get on with the firing cycle of gas rams. The Walther LGV might be its equal but the jury is out on that one!!

TX200 - cheaper and in my hands better.
I loved my Prosport and am tempted to buy another after a 3 year absence from shooting. I also had tbe TX200 but found the Prosport smoother and easier to shoulder and shoot. I moved from springers into PCP but decided it wasn't for me as I loved springers. I'm certainly an Air Arms fan! I guess its all subjective, what suits one person, may not suit another.
very very nice rifle there mate, congrats, wish i could afford one as there awesome to shoot and deadly accurate
cheers

Been away from air rifle shooting for a while, and I broke my old pro sport (threaded the screw into the piston from the cocking lever) about 4 or 5 years ago. Never got round to fixing it, got involved with other pusrsuits.
A friend of mine has a fellow who has hunting permission near by, and gave my an invite to go out with them sometime, so got me thinking about getting it fixed.
And to the meat and bones why I am posting.
Pulled the old boy out the cupboard, wiped of the dust, still gleaming and beautiful it is. Fixed the screw issue. and fired a few shots off through the chrono.
Now I'm thinking, 4 to 5 years in a cupboard, with no take down or relube, its going to be sub par..... shock for me.
796 fps +/- 5 fps with JSB Exacts .177 - if ya cant be bothered with the sums, baw hair under the 12 ft/lbs and reasonablly consistant.
Now thats quality engineering for ya
Only downside is now, that i need to wait a few days for a new scope mount to arrive, scope is sitting with bloody weaver mounts on it from use on an air soft sniper gun, and ive lost me old dovetail ones....doh. Cant wait to get this bad boy back in action
I treated myself to one five years ago....they look and shoot so nice,airgun hall of famer
