    I completely missed the ‘springer’ part in the title (I blame my three year old for keeping me busy).
    BSA Stutzen RB2 gets my vote then.
    ProSport in a stutzen stock has been an idea of mine for around ten years. I might revisit that in the new year.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    I know what Rob means about meat on the Diana 430 ST but having handled one recently, I thought it looked great in the flesh. It was a Diana Factory Custom though, so may have differered from the standard version.
    A factory custom version? Spit it out- you cant leave it at that

    I was told it was a special order from when Diana were offering the custom/ bespoke service and that the customer did not return to pick it up. It looked stunning in the flesh. Fish scale chequering that actually looked very nice. I'm sure it was a 430 rather than a 460. I handled it and it felt very good indeed.
    It's probably still in the shop. I can't remember what they wanted for it but remember thinking it was expensive for me.

    I don't think they offer the factory custom service now, unfortunately.

    HW77 certainly a fine effort, but its too front wood heavy. Thats the issue with making air rifle stuzens and why the Centenary is as far as it goes. Original 50 pulls it off too, but neither are full stuzens.

    The 77 needs to be the carbine version and the front of the stock need thinning down a bit.

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