    Super accurate, but then so is the TX and the ProSport. Sold mine.
    You’re right about the trigger,! That’s the one thing I don’t like about mine.

    Quite good then....so how come it seems most of you sold them on in favour of others

    Surely a floppy trigger when uncocked wasn't that off-putting was it?

    Me personally, I sold mine as they weren't getting used. I only have 3 now, 2 of which are very rare and that'll do me.
    This is a mk1 .177 I bought in quite a state.

    And this is what it ended up like 2 weeks later once I'd restored it.

    I had a Mk1 SR in beech and found it heavy, hard to cock and I didn't liike the balance or stamped floppy trigger. I sold it and bought a Pro Sport in walnut which I treasured (when I managed to prise it back from my then brother-in-law's hands!) - beautiful, balanced and accurate - and shot happily for many years.

    Hi Harvey

    I think this old Gamo may have been one of the first SR rifles to use the recoil cancelling Sled action, Really there was no recoil on these as I can throw the pellets faster!!

    ASI Statical by el Gamo, c1970's..

    Surely the FWB 300 must be the first re-coiless springer
