Why are springer repeaters not more popular these days ?

The rifle was fine, it was the mags that were shite.

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

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.

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.

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
