    Oh yes and I may try and squeeze a Stutzen in there as well one, once finances allow.

    I have to sort out the Supersport first.

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

    Please anyone: What are the differences between the Brum Supersport and the Challenger? And, was there a problem with roughness and spring breakages on the Supersport, or, was that the "foreign" Lightning? I must admit, I love my Challengers including a Carbine version......

    Kind regards to all.....

    Basically the Challenger is a break barrel version of the Airsporter, the piston has a rod which latches to the trigger mechanism and it also has the graceful and iconic sloping trigger block housing, the build quality seems to be a bit better as well.

    The Supersport is an enlarged and updated version of the Meteor, which means it can reach full power easier than the Meteor, the piston has no rod and the trigger sear locks onto the side of the piston, the rifle overall isn't as well built (in my eyes) as the Challenger as the trigger mechanism is housed in a cage welded to the cylinder and the trigger guard is a bit of bent metal.
