I'm wondering how much springers have improved over the years, if you go back 30yrs and look at what the likes of Webley, BSA, Air Arms, Theoben, Venom, Diana, Weirhauch and what they were producing back then how much better are the latest creations in comparison from todays manufacturers offerings. Has there been any breakthrough in technology or understanding in that time. The way i see it a nice springer back in the day would still hold it's own today.
