We call it a Hermann.

Central transfer port vs offset
I'm reserving judgment at the moment.
I've now got both
The .22 TX has had some work done and is very nice to shoot.
The .177 97 is a recent, used, acquisition. Although its accurate, it's running close to the level and is very harsh to use. This'll be coming apart in the next couple of days.
All of the above.
As long as they're short and concentric with the barrel I don't care where they are, Barry.
I don't like transfer ports that are long and on the piss, like the Weslake b2, Relum Tornado or Diana 34.
Using an angled transfer port introduces two problems in that the transfer port length increases and the air blast has to make it's way round two turns to get to the pellet.
I was talking sliding breech guns and I think we both know that central TPs are more efficient, anyway almost all break barrels have a long TP but even though the Diana BBs are angled they are central and if they was inefficient how could they achieve this

The Century/HW80 etc. cant with the straight TPs
Had both and a '77 (and an HC). I still have the 77. Just feels better in my hands. All were accurate as each other for me.
I plink, therefore I am.
