    Just to complicate matters for you Rhys, take a look at a Theoben SLR 98 or better still the SLR 88 ! (If you can find one)

    My thoughts have been expressed on other threads over the last week or so. Prosport is the way to go. I have just done so and the only thing I had to do was clean it and adjust the first stage of the trigger pull.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    That is the correct answer but as with anything itl be too expensive. A 98 with cs800, and one in .20 ! be lovely John but it'll cost the thick end of £600 unless I get lucky and it'd be one of those once in a lifetime things I recon. One day though
    No, I think I'm liking the 77/97.. maybe a 77 in a 97 stock?! I don't know but it'll be cheaper than £600+!! Think I'd like to put that doctor on top

    ...and some if it's an '88. But not exactly an everyday gun - mine gets to go out when it's guaranteed sun only.

    I have a couple of PS, but these days it's the tuned '77 and '97 that get pulled out first. My FT springer rig is based on a '97. i have shot TX's but just prefer the HWs.

    Yeah., I'm thinking 77/97 & at the moment I'm thinking 97 as z German's do the blue laminate one in a .20 for 10euro more than the equivalent .177. I also figured the blue laminate stock would sell easier and for more if I didn't like it and decided to go for a CS500 instead
    Both options with a bit of internal tinkering to me feel like a good option. I just can't get out of my head the full length 77... I'd really like to try one & see how it balances..
    Any thoughts on the full length 77 over the 97k ?
    Thanks Rhys

    Park 91, my two will outshoot my Venom 77 and SLR88. Think it will outshoot or equal anything suggested.

    Interesting, lovely, and probably as expensive & rare as the 88.....
    Thanks for the suggestion though

    One to have a look at would be the Diana 470TH it is a beautiful rifle and lovely to fire. I went to buy one and would have had it, had I not seen and bought the Diana 56TH instead. I still want to get one, but I may have to wait a little longer for that one.
    Shooting Air Rifles is like being a pubic hair on a toilet seat.
    Eventually someone comes a long and P's you off.
    They usually have a PCP

    Rhys, come and take my MK1 77K (.22) away and use it for as long as you wish. Might help you decide!

    Today I purchased the Air Arms TX200 in .177 from sportsman gun centre in Exeter. Ive just fitted and zeroed the 4-12 x 50 scope and the consistency is incredible. Its as good if not better than my Theoben Evolution. Highly recommend it for an underlever

    Park Rifes swop hands at around £450 to £550 if pristine, sometimes for a good bit less. Luck really, as most people just don't know what they are or put off by their complexity. In truth not easy to sort out/fix if something is wrong as parts are scarce and not off the peg.
    Anyhow, a good one should nat drive.
