Im convinced the ressurgance is owing to the new tuning technology which completely transforms a springer ....either fitted as std. by say the Walther offerings, using a tuning house, or doing the tuning yourself if you have access to a lathe ....and finally Tinbum i spose.

Typically, a bit of a boinger with annoying muzzle flip, a 95 can be tuned to be beautifully smooth and almost dead as regard recoil and twang...finished off with a moderate muzzle weight and ive out shot a few PCPs without all the parafinalia....but ive out shot that 95 with a Pro Sport and trounced it with my super tuned 34..
Springers are getting better post manufacture and our knowledge constantly growing ....sleeveless pistons and exotic materials etc..
