Again not a springer but alternating a pair of Theoben Fenmans .22 Cal. One with a Simmons WTC 1.5-5x20 and the other with a Simmons WTC 4x40WA. The last true springer was an SFS Mk 2 80 .22 with a Simmons WTC 3.5-10x40. The Fenmans for lightness, handleability and sheer quality, the latter because I enjoyed taking it out every now and again !
All that was over twenty years ago but I still wouldn’t hesitate using either today especially the Fenman combos !
Should add, pellets were either Crossman Premier (boxed) or F&TT’s.
