    95 or 99 or if you don't mind a little more weight an 80. All great quality air rifles, built to last and reliable. I just picked up a 95 and it's a keeper.

    I recently recommended an HW99 to a friend. I shot it and I was very impressed. So light, full power and deadly accurate even in standard form.

    I do like underlevers like the hw97 hw77 or tx200 but the weight ruins the enjoyment unless you are stationary target shooting. I gave the HW57 a go it feels like a lightweight HW77k perfectly weighted.

    So my recommendation would be Weihrauch: break barrel HW 99s or underlever HW57

    What he said. The AA TX200 is the best 'out of the box' air-rifle made and possibly the most accurate on average. If you want a break-barrel then TonyL's recommendation of a modern HW35 is the one to go for.

    HW99s - accurate, easy to shoot well, a joy to carry, simply lovely straight from the box...

    My own favourites of many owned across the years:- AA TX200 or Hunter Carbine; HW97KT Blackline (synthetic thumbhole - cheaper & lighter weight than beech stock); Walther Terrus (synth stock).

    All superb rifles, the Walther a markedly cheaper, lighter weight break barrel which like the TX200, shoots more smoothly from new. The twangy 97KT is quickly improved by stripping & re-greasing, although not as easy to take apart as the TX (neither are difficult).

    If you want a break-barrel then I'd say go for a Weihrauch HW80 but if you fancy a fixed barrelled rifle then i'd always recommend a Weihrauch HW77K or HW97K.
    All these rifles I have mentioned are fantastic quality guns that are extremely accurate and built to last!
