    So what was the Best Break Barrel Air Rifle Out of the Box ?

    I think we lost the original Thread in the changeover.
    “An airgun or two”………

    If I remember correctly, it was a toss up between a Diana 34 Premium and the Walther LGV but I think the majority voted for the LGV, the original asker got the Diana in the end (I think) as it was in stock with his local gun shop.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Think you're right. Seem to remember a long discussion about triggers...Rekkords, CD's and T06's ?
    Personally, I was edging towards the Walther.

    The Walther is one rifle I'd like to have a go with, I'm intrigued to see what it's like (only to see if it's as good out of the box as my Prosport), especially after all the hype but it's the mixed reports I read on here that sort of put me off (plus I'd rather spend my money on other things)

    The answer is obvious, BSA Lightning! There is absolutely nothing you can do to make it shoot better!

    I once had a very nice SFS tuned Brum made (early model) Lightning with a Superstar trigger conversion that would have changed your mind.

    I think worth adding this link from the thread about triggers
    https://www.ctcustomairguns.com/hect...e-13th-century
    As all the triggers are mentioned

    It was ( and still is ) always the Walther LGV

    ... and continuing the shout-out from the Walther camp, having as I do, a Walther Centenary .177 which I simply adore, as the LGV is newer and allegedly better (?), it truly must be an AWSOME piece of kit fresh from the box.
