    Mmmmm, I'm thinking that way too Paul. I actually feel I have a 'full set' of air rifles that I want now and haven't bought one for a while but..... I don't have a concealed under-lever. I have heard that they have smoothed out the 'sharp edges' on the latest ones too ?

    There's probably only a couple of rifles that I would like to add to my collection, one being a Prosport and the other being a vintage HW35E in .22

    I think a Prosport will arrive first as finding a HW35E that I'm happy with will be a mission

    The other thing to consider is which calibre should The Prosport be ..... I'm tending to think .177 as it'll mostly be used to shoot long range targets and plinking.

    Damn yeah, HW35, forgot that one, Tone says I need one so best comply at some stage soon. As for calibre, I'm pretty much strictly in the .22 camp on springers but have seen the benefits of .177 in PCPs thanks to Baldinio but....shhhh, don't tell Tone

    Purely personal preference, but with a large, heavy gun with swept volume to spare, like a Prosport, TX, 77/97, I'd be plumping for a .177, especially if mainly for long range targets / plinking. Easily well-mannered enough.

    And, yes, you both need a '35 in your collections!

    At the September Bash, Ray brought along a couple of newly acquired 'Sports (part of an 18 gun purchase haul the lucky cult!) and they both sported the rounded off levers. Lovely they were.

    Bloody Cult, he would wouldn't he. I will deffo get a HW35 at some stage. I thought (in my extremely limited knowledge) that .22 was a much 'calmer' shoot in a springer ? So, does weight matter when it comes to preference ? Is a lighter weight, say HW95 or HW99 'better' in .177 than a heavier rifle in your opinion Tone ?

    I mentioned to my Mrs that I'd like a HW35E and told her that I quite like the look of the 22" barrel, and she said, "Oooo, that's a long one".

    Great to see you immerse yourself so quickly Gavin. I did the same two years ago when I attended my first Bash just after joining the BBS. I promise you will love it, a great bunch of lads and lasses in tranquil surroundings, no cliquiness, no competition, a good old drink if you want it, bonfire, England's best hosts, camping or B&B, try everyone's guns, plenty of targets and.... Oh yeah, must be honest.... On the down-side, we have a certain Captain Bongo bloke who lives there most of the year ! I'll say no more as we have all had to go through that initiation

    Welcome aboard young Hawk-finger.

    As Little Pauly Boy says, you're doing the right thing getting straight to The Boinger Bash. All of what PaulyBoy says is so true and I guarantee you'll have a great time and will make multiple return visits.
