If you want something a bit different, how about an Hammerli sideleaver. Mines a model 2 in .177, not powerful but accurate has a match rifle.

Andy Mac (AMAC), a fellow club member and friend, did an article on my Hammerli side lever in the December issue of Airgunner. He liked it.

The Hammerli is one of the few extremely accurate tap-loaders. However, it won't make more than 9 fpe without putting a 'strong' HW77 spring in it which takes from its mild nature. A stronger spring puts pressure on the narrow stamped-steel sear, which can wear AND is unobtainable as a spare, and on the stamped-steel cocking lever which due to its design can start to bend at the pivot end.Andy Mac (AMAC), a fellow club member and friend, did an article on my Hammerli side lever in the December issue of Airgunner.

As one or two of us have remarked, the only way to go is an HW35. Or possibly an HW50 (old school) with tune up. I know a late Mercury or Mercury-S can do well, but they need a good deal of fettling, and for the average shooter the trigger mechanism on the HW just makes it easier to get good hunting accuracy.

I would certainly recommend a HW77K which I would assume has been mentioned.
