    Webley Omega had the looks as did the BSA Mercury. The stock design does the trick.

    Gamo Statical airgun

    "Appears on 1975.
    Made with a power camera and a conventional break barrel.
    Stock made from sheet steel and stamped on beech wood.
    The camera and the barrel slide into rails."

    Oh yeah...

    But most of all, this:

    The HW95 is nice to look at, but IMO disappointing to shoot.

    The HW80 is long overdue for a new stock.

    Most of what's been mentioned above.

    Two others:

    - Diana 38 has a rather nice look to it.

    - As les says earlier, the Webley Tomahawk, esp in walnut, has very pleasing lines. I think it looks better than the Longbow, even though the 'bow is a better gun at sub-12, and handles beautifully.

    And my mental image of a classic springer is something like a Diana 35 or a BSF S70. Nothing special or dramatic about them, but they just look right.

    Another vote for the Omega.

    As people have said,unfortunately, too little too late for Webley at Birmingham .

    Diana 38 for me also. Earlier model in walnut with shorter forend and slight hogsback comb.
    Would settle for a current 34 Premium or one of the posher 340 N-tecs.
    They do look sharper and sleeker than HW's to my eyes.

    Hi,

    HW98 every time. This is the best use of a 'bull barrel' configuration that I know of. The gun is a serious target/sporter but lighter than the 97k. There is a Youtube from Sandwell on the accuracy and it easily matches up to an underlever. Sod it - I'm going to buy one!

    Calm down!

    Please note: This thread is about which break-barrel looks the best.

    The '98 is way too front heavy to actually shoot with.

    probably the old asi commando mk3....looks like a simple traditional 410 shotgun....or possibly a bsf s60 with hand chequered grip
