I would have thought that with modern technology we could have something like a modern repeater P/S /Airsporter.
There is not even a Diana repeater now.
Just wondering why.

Probably because multi-shot pre-charged rifles have become quite prevalent and offer more benefit in terms of ease of use.
Also the currently available repeating spring / gas ram guns are shite.
People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.

But this,,,, Nail, Head, Squarely Hit!!!
Multishot is a smaller niche market within the already small niche market of Spring/ Gas Ram powered rifles I suppose,,,, (don't roast me, Im a springer shooter)
And since the old Theoben SLR's I haven't really seen a nicely done repeater.
The last repeater that caught my eye was the Gamo Maxxim and I think the design team were glue sniffers or something because that is one strange looking multishot system

Damn, I forgot about that one, good call
Nice looking rifle,, Thanks Greg
Even better looking than a HW35
The rifle was fine, it was the mags that were shite.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

I've shot the gamo maxxim and I thought it pretty horrible - trigger not great and harsh shot cycle. Having said that the multishot function performed flawlessly...

Yeah right there, a right pain in the seating area.

Diana 300R?

Easy to break it, though, if you don’t treat it properly, as the article linked above shows. And, I think, only made in .177”.

Looking at reports from the SHOT show, both Crosman/Benjamin and Hatsan are bringing out new repeating break barrels along similar lines to the Gamo Maxxim.
Not prejudging anything, but they both look like stupid useless nonsense. 😉

i had a diana 300r. found it very very front heavy and was a very long gun. the mag set up was far more robust than a goldstar but the fiddle of loading the mag then putting it in the holder and then loading it in to the gun is more time intrusive then the bsa mag set up. i have 3 goldstars at the moment and the goldstar is a far more balanced gun. the mags work ok if you use the slightly newer ones than the original ones. having had both i prefer the goldstar. id not buy another 300r thats for sure!

2 reasons as i see it. Manufacturers dontvsee a viable market andvwhats the advantage....you still have to break position and make big movements.
The other...PCPs do multi shot a thousand times better than any springer has or could.
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill

I don't think that AA manufactured the Prosport for its practicality when they already had the TX
In the same way a nicely engineered repeating Prosport with a improved cocking lever might appeal to those liking a no nonsense self contained attractive airgun, something that might be a thousand times better than any PCP

How about a modern take on the browning airstar.
Brushless motor, modern batteries. Stick it on a sledge system and add an electrically cycled magazine.
Possibly the best a repeating springer could be. But still heavier and more expensive than an s410
