    A friend of mine recently purchased a Prosport and it was terrible,so perhaps your comments on Ibiza are correct,at least he got his money back.

    New or used?
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    The Prosport just hit the spot the first few shots I put through it after that I was smitten.

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

    On my return to springers about 2 years ago I returned to familiar territory with a 97KT, bought it, thought I loved it then realised I wasn't using it. Took it out for a day and it just didn't feal right, so I sold it. Shouldered a Prosport belonging to a bloke in a gunshop because they had none in stock and he wanted a scope fitting, I fell in love. Ordered a .177 and it even gets out on the odd hunting trip.

    Looking at their prices, I wonder how much market research they have done.

    There are always some who will pay a great deal for a really smart looking gun, but the Sterling guns don't impress in that department.

    IMHO of course.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they are no longer around this time next year.

    When fired it seemed very noisy internally (rattling) I dont know what was wrong because he returned it for a different gun.
    Despite the comments about HW,I have other guns including a fenman,so am not biased towards HW,in fact the newer ones out of the box are not that good either.
    It seems that all manufacturers are cutting corners to save money.

    Aah, bias toward Theoben and HW, that's bad
    On a more serious note my Prosport which is about 4 months old is spot on.
