    The Mk1 and Mk2 BSA Airsporter/Club would be my choice. Incredibly sleek designs that performed very well (and many still do!).

    Made in GB at a time when we made things properly.

    BSA Mercury S mk2 (with the rounded front end) and a Challenger.

    And it still has to be that Diana 34 120th Anniversary thing.

    I'll try and sneak a Prosport in there as well

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

    yeah, agree with that...

    ALso the SLR88, especially it's stock; very impressive lines for a mass produced gun.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    The Webley Tomahawk and longbow for me,The Theoben Sirocco deluxe(I know it's a rammer)is a Handsome rifle.I do agree with others regarding the mk1 Airsporter a great looking air rifle.

    Hi my favourite would be my old man's Mk1 Airsporter.
    I used this as a kid and it was a great rifle!

    The Airsporter is still so popular and only AA with the PS has sort of copied the concealed lever, Its a mystery, why only one manufacturer
