What is the best break-barrel springer available today?

Great advice from everyone!



I am deterred with regard to Diana, if it now makes its products in Bulgaria.

For hunting I'd go for the HW 80k in .20 Cal.
Ok, you may need to tune or have it professionally tuned but after that it'll do everything you could want from it being ideal for an FAC upgrade later should you wish !
You also have the option of fitting a custom stock to your personal taste.

AndrewM,

Sadly, it is my experience, and also of many others, that a lot, if not all, new made air rifles, out of the box generally leave something or much to be desired.

I have had three (3) new HW rifles (HW99S, HW30S, & HW95 SuperMatch) in the last couple of years, and ALL of them needed fettling to achieve smooth shooting.

The HW99S, and in particular the HW30S needed surgery to cure the known galling issues, and the 95 short-stroked & tuned to make the most of it.

After fettling, these three (3) rifles shoot superbly.

Would you consider buying a vintage rifle ?

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards

I think the Walther Lgv is a great option for a up to date b/barrel rifle .

HW80 for me,but there fairly heavy but built like a tank.

Well if all the criterias are observed then the only rifle is the LGV, All the HWs will need tuning/sorting and some don't have open sights (like the 98), the LGV covers everything asked for.

The HW80 or Air Arms Pro Elite with reduced stroke or diamater are the best break barrels imo.

However, I have been searching for a viable alternative to the HW95 in standard (ish) guise for an everymans gun.

Many have tried, so far all have failed.

Thankfully it is a preference, not a criterion. Therefore we can erase that Hippocrocopig from our list.
