Who make the second best looking springers to AA today

[look no hands]

I can't say BSA anymore as they stopped making the Airsporter/Mercury/Challenger many years ago.

Webley did have a decent looking rifle with the Longbow but the Turks *uc**d that up when they put the thumbhole stock on it, losing the graceful lines of the Brum made rifles.

The only rifle(s) to come out of Germany with any decent looking lines are, dare I say it, the Diana 34 120th anniversary edition, everything just seemed to flow right with that one, a classic looking rifle with all the right extras (nice walnut stock, skip line checkering, gold trigger etc), the other rifle which is the only one you can buy now, is it's poorer brother the 34 premium, that looks like the Anniversary editions shadow, same graceful lines but in beech and different checkering, if Diana were to bring out another 34 the same as the Anniversary edition, then I'd go back on my word (and overlook the recent problems they have had) and buy one.

But I still think the Prosport is the best looking springer you can buy today.

second best ? probably Air arms

Best looking gun (ok it's a gas ram) I have apart from AA is the Diana N Tec. The carbine is very pretty

Gamo?

No, actually it’s Diana.

Genuinely, not teasing you (this time).

The classic stuff looks good as ever, the 280 looks pretty good, the Kar98K looks good in a Kar98K way. Even the THs look quite nice.

Diana continues, as ever, to be the Tottenham Hotspur of airgun makers.

I think as production products from the factory then most of the current offerings of springers from most of the major manufacturers are fairly easy on the eye. Though I've never really gone a bundle on thumbhole stocks, those offered by HW and Diana are quite eye catching.
I have to say though that as much as I like tye looks of a well designed stock, its practical handling qualities are.more important to me.
The Diana TH range of stocks whilst good do have an overlong reach from pistol to trigger. As such I think they could have been a bit better designed.
In saying all this, lash out the cash.n buy yourself a well figured walnut stock and any gun can be transformed.
