Just pondering, as you do at this time of year.
If someone was told they could spent £1000+ on a bespoke high end springer, what choices are there? There are several high end bespoke PCPs out there, available off the shelf but I could not think of a springer equivalent that would be available off the shelf. PCPs have 'Special Editions' but seemingly not springers. My costings do not include scope, mounts etc.
This does not mean that it is not possble to get a high end springer; more that it is a sort of diy job.
Step 1: buy a standard top springer e.g. TX200, Hw77/97 (please co not sart arguments, these are illustration only?
Step 2; buy a customised stock, fully adjustable in walnut or whatever suits you
Step 3: either get it 'professionally tuned' or do the job yourself
I am sure you could exceed the 'high end' price tag by doing this but it is interesting that you cannot buy it 'already done'. Maybe the market is too small. Maybe springer fans prefer to diy.
So if someone is out there with money seemingly burning a hole in their pocket there is no real alternative but diy.
Just seems strange.
Cheers, Phil
