    The ISP Spartan was probably one of the most luscious airrifles ever, but how many were made?
    It might not be so fair to compare a niche product built by a single craftsman (AFAIK) to a mass produced rifle...
    Good deals with these members

    Spartan is always top trumps in many polls.

    No doubt this is true, but fun to see, never knew they existed. I am just happy I have one of the guns mentioned that is obtainable. Surprising how the look of the early BSA Airsporter held up. I could see myself trying for a MK1, if it ever poped up here in the US. I don’t think anyone was importing them back then, it will be a long shot.

    As already said, the Airsporter has to claim the top spot, followed closely by the Prosport and then the RWS Excalibre for the PCP side but I think the later Mercury's should get an honourable mention.

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