Yes, alright. Of course, you are wrong on the MkII, which is visually a bucket of bolts and very "steampunk ", but that's entirely a matter of taste.Originally Posted by Garvin
No offence to anyone but it's just silly to state as a fact which is the most graceful air rifle. It's completely in the eye of the beholder.
Personally I find the Airsporter (MKs 1&2) pretty but the knowledge of their awful triggers spoils the visual image for me ().
To me the Mk2 Service is the most graceful air rifle ever made and I'm sticking to that.. Not "graceful", in my personal book, but very appealing.
In architectural terms, the MkII is 1300s Decorated Gothic, whereas the 'sporter is 1800s Greek Revival classicism, or even 1900s Le Corbusier modernist.
Whereas things like the Webley Tommie and Longbow have the functionally best stocks ever in a factory springer. Not graceful, but brilliant handling.
(Is it only me where the spell-check tries to change "factory" to "Fat Tory"? Weird.)
