My 'vote' goes to the Sharp Victory and Pan Target. Unlike the Ace, which is far superior to the Innova, the trigger weight doesn't increase with the number of pumps.

I think that was the Benjamin because to keep it within the legal limit the importers cropped the valve spring.

1 Arcos Setra AS1000 (.177") --- built 1983, gives two shots per pumping, bought new for £45

see Mick's earlier post on page 1

Only a couple Mick ????

Yes Mike, just a couple, the one with the wooden stock and the one with the laminated stock --- that's what Shirl thinks and who am I to argue.

Yes, that feature really ruined the ace for me. not so bad in .22, but a real pain in .177

I had an ex Mick French 1377 brought to me for repair by a member from Coventry, it was sold on here by the owner, Sunny76 ?, and later broken up and sold for parts on here.

I bought this one from Mick in 2009, it's in .177 calibre and happy to say it's still in one piece

An Airlogic Genesis?,a winner if awards are given for weight.

Only handled one briefly but the Sheridan Blue Streak does have a certain charm.

1 Sheridan Bluestreak with checkered stock and swivels --- believed to be a Rod Lynton custom ?
--- I have a couple of hundred springers as well.

Earlier post corrected for you, Mick.

Our Shirl says she had you rumbled a long time ago!



Talking of our Rod - anyone got a Whaley Crosman then?

Of the ones I’ve actually owned, and including single-strokes, in descending order:

Titan Mohawk
PH Dragon, when it worked (bloody unreliable thing, mine)
Sheridan C9
Crosman 120
Crosman 2200W
Tie: stocked Crosman 1377 and Crosman 2200
Crosman 760 (nearly forgot I’d had one!)
Daisy 840

What do you want to do with a pumper?

FT, HFT, 10M match none of the above. Proper pest control, the top two, though the C9 isn’t bad and nor is the 120. Outdoor plinking and occasional pest at moderate ranges, any of the C9, 120, and 2200s. Youth training, the 1377, 760, or 840. Indoor target practice, including bell target, any apart from the Titan and PH, with the multi-pumps on 1-3 pumps.

You are right that there are fewer pellet types available in .20”. But they are all good pellets, whereas 50-75% of available .177” and .22” pellets are mediocre to awful.

Ex BBS member, Dave, Fatman, has a Marshall or Whaley Crosman Tone.
