    What is your favorite classic looking springer old or new?

    Perhaps a thread that the TX/PS don't come out top just for a change. LOL.

    I mean conventional airgun looks, I guess the 77 is the favorite but is there any to beat it, my candidate is the Diana 460 what's yours What about the 80.

    Gotta be the HW95k for me. Always wanted one. Never had one



    In fact the only 'decent' break barrel springer I have is a Webley Xocet

    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

    Still the BSA Mercury Challenger for me but then I'm biased.
