What about a 2 stroke version of the HW75 to give us a good looking, all metal alternative, to that bulky plastic Alecto.
Also a simple barrel over cylinder arrangement like the old Benjamin 422 instead of the hideous Hatson. Why have we gone in reverse since the Crosman 116 of the 60s.
i would like to see air arms make a buddy bottle rifle with a high shot count based on the s510 .
and would like to see theoben rise from the ashes in the uk and make rifles so you could just go and buy one off the shelf without having to wait months to get one made.
I would like to see Air Arms keep their head above water and not be entered in the Once upon a time it was British book like that of Webley, BSA springers and recently Theoben.

I'd like to see them set up a proper system of distributorships so that any rifle that was fitted with AT and wasn't up to par - or was a warranty item - could be sorted by the dealer, who would have to have an approved person either on the payroll or contracted to do the work.
It doesn't make sense - with all the restrictions coming in from couriers re carriage of firearms - and the cost of fuel - and the green agenda - for every single adjustment to require a return trip to the factory.
Ideally I'd like to see every rifle chronographed by the dealer at the point of sale, but the OP asked what manufacturers should do. All sales of rifles by way of trade have to be face to face anyway.

BSA - bring back the rolling-wave trigger guard and scrap that job-lot of old Gamo ones you're using..................

SPOT ON. I can not understand some RFDs that don't have a chrono on premises or those that sell new and secondhand rifles without checking them.
If I'm in the market for a rifle I take my mk4 portable chrono with me and I'd they wont let me fire it or dont have the facilities I won't buy.
Agreed with others i would like to see an Air Arms medium weight break barrel springer to compete with the likes of the HW95K.
Air arms to release a break barrel springer, with out the crappy fish scale stock and BSA to fit a decent trigger unit to the LightningXL, cant be too hard to do surly
Air Arms TX200 .177, Weihrauch HW80 .22
Webley Mk1 .177, Gamo Compact
A thicker barrel on the S400 series.

I wish I was in the land of cotton.
If Air Arms did do a break barrel i would definitely get oneWould go nice with the TX of mine
No fish scale though

As a newcomer this year, I would like a 2013 pellet that finds the centre of the target instead if these 2012 versions![]()
