What is the most successful springer over £100 ever made?

[Barryg]

I say £100 because someone might say the B2

[TonyL]

£100 in today's money and inflation corrected?

Most successful in what way? Largest volume of sales? Getting youngsters into the sport? Winning some form of competition?

I don't know, so this is just pure guesswork, but if adjusted for inflation and based on sales numbers, the BSA Meteor?

[look no hands]

That is a bloody big can of worms you've just opened and your meaning 'successful' can also be taken into different contexts, will it be for how many sold, how many are used, how many win shooting competitions?

The trouble is so many people will have their favourites and some of the ones listed below I believe where under £100 in the 70/80's when they where most popular, I'll chuck a few in the mix.

Airsporter
Meteor
TX200
HW77
HW80
HW35
Diana 34

I'm sure there's others.

PS Tony just piped me to the post and is obviously thinking in the same way as me.

I should have said in turms of world wide sales

I imagine the Chinese made rifle that is sold as Hammerli Black Force, Ruger, SMK208, SYN SG then again under the original Chinese name must have racked up some pretty large sales world wide.

My meteor was £13 new does that count ?

Now I think about it this is a direct copy of a Diana, does that mean they are Diana's made in a different country? clones ? fakes?

Define "success" ?

Most sold? Most trophies? The one most people wanted to own but couldn't.

I would say the the answer lies somewhere between the BSA Meteor - (how many of us started off with one of them? ) and the HW77 - all conquering, trophy laden...

Ah yes - missed that one!

[Shed tuner]

using sales volume, something long running and popular, and fairly affordable

My guess is Meteor#1
HW35 also up there

hw77/80 certainly very popular, but they have only been around for a third of the time of the above

[Bellycrawler]

I'd say HW35 is high on the list on the basis of it was popular when first produced & still popular now where many are "history"
