    Spring Powered Rifle With the Worst Trigger

    I think the worst one I have tried was an SMK DB4, or maybe a Relum Tornado.

    For it's cost, the FWB Sport is not all that.

    What are your creepiest grindiest least nice trigger units?

    Of mine owned

    Of the 30 or so Rifles I have owned over time its the HW25L though you do get used to it in terms of it not affecting the accuracy, but it a stiff little b*gg*r and can’t be adjusted.
    HW30STL .177, HW45 Blackstar .177, HW77 .177, LGV Challenger .177, BSA Airsporter S Mk1 .22. Original 65 .177, BSA Lightning GRT .177, HW99 .177.

    The trigger on my Relum Tornado is lovely. And it shoots sweet with my HW 25mm piston conversion

    The worst trigger, ALBEIT not a springer, has to be the Sharp Innova as it is by its nature a "creep" trigger. I still love them though

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    Interesting. It IS a springer but has propellant assist.

    I wonder if it would be any good for FT without the powder burning assist?

    B2 and B3.

    MkV Airsporter pretty poor for what claimed to be an upmarket product. Ditto Sterling HR81.

    Some of the oldies have heavy triggers, although you get used to it quickly in a plinking session. The cadets(major) heavy and uncomfy shape. Couple of nasty triggers on early Airsporters & later MK3's (probably need a bit of a tune or maybe a polish). Also the Sterling HR81, one of my favorite rifles, has a harsh trigger, that takes the fun away a bit of a plinking session, need to take it apart some time to diagnose.

    Ha @Geezer saw your post just now, so its not just me with the Sterling. Good to know.
