    Tis a stupid question, mind. With the obviously correct answer being the Mk1 HW 77K.
    Good point with the old BSA, Phil.

    Agree with the '77.

    The HW35!
    Ideally the photo needs to be taken with plenty of soft focus, preferably an action shot to add dynamism and vitality to the scene.
    I have found the best way to achieve this is to get a mate to throw them in the canal as you take pictures. If you get the degree of twilight right its magical in the light of burning stocks.

    Longbow based Venom Sidewinder compact',,,,,,,,,,all smooth and slick, and if it is one of the twenty rare versions that has no name on the cylinder then it's stunning.

    Off the shelf is the basic FWB 300, simply awesome with the area that the barrel joins the cylinder, nothing better.

    Who said Pro sport,,,,,, whit ? It looks like it's got an aluminium door closer bolted to it underneath.
    Nice things happen to nice people.

    Not necessarily a problem for me.

    I'll go for the BSA Mk1 Airsporter. A lovely piece of engineering.

    Double definitely!! The tapered barrel and that superb underlever is a joy and much better than the box section aluminium of the ProSport!!

    Why is it a weird thread appreciateing the look of fine engenring and design, it's fair enough if you don't care what it looks like as long as it works but sometimes it's pleasing to see a nice looking action out of the stock (for some anyway )
