    I love a good beak barrel.

    And the HW80 is a perfect break barrel IMOP.

    I can't decide which I prefer.

    The new 12 inch barrel with silencer or a HW 98 sleeved barrel on my 80's.

    I would love a custom 12 inch shrouded barrel of some kind in the future.

    I really must get my two Venom tuned 80s from my dad's one day. Not used them in ages.

    Love them and the .22 one was my trusty, dependable go-to hunting gun for many years.

    The only one that I have used in recent times is my Lazaglided Kestock Predator bullpup, but it's hardly a standard 80.

    A true classic amongst quality springers and yes, I agree, everyone should have one.

    Even Pete!

    I have one in .22, fully tuned by Dave price (Wonky Donky) 12" barrel with a blued steel slim silencer with brass end cap, over sized brass safety and a rowan extra set back trigger, so glad i converted back to springers, since having the full tune this gun is stunning to shoot, was out last week round the farm yard and i lost count of all the corvids i shot. truly a lovely gun to hold and its a keeper.

    Around the 16ft/lbs the 80 is a cracking springer, FAC .25 it's awesome especially for pigeons. Tuned subs are also cracking guns!! I've owned and used one for 32 years, and just love em, feel good in use, reliable, bomb proof and a great vermin tool but i understand you either love and respect them or bloody hate em

    these days most people buy them then get ride roughly 2 weeks later due to the fact they give you headaches with the amount of recoil. if you are a good shot you will be able to shoot anything and still hit the target down. its all up to you what you want and can shoot
