Favourite post-1945, pre 1984 underlever sporter?

[Geezer]

We all know the consensus is that the best underlever ever is the HW77 or its derivatives, including the TX.

And that the pre-1945 BSAs are both awesome and rightly very popular.

But what’s your, favourite 1945-84 underlever? And why?

Apologies for another poll while we’re still in pseudo-lockdown, but some people seem to like them and the results are interesting. To me at least.

LG50 for me. Absolute classic with good handling, looks and build. All if mine are very accurate, my '74 .177 is phenomenal. 2nd place to the BSF because its strange but good strange.
I have a Mk 2 Airsporter which I enjoy owning and shooting. I just cant hit what Im aiming at usually
Yep, your polls are interesting.

Thanks.

I have two MkIIIs, a Mk1 Airsporter, a 50, and an HR81. I’m not sure which my favourite is. Apart from the HR81, which is terrible.

Mk3 by a country mile. They just scream of the period. The HR's are cute but nowhere near as majestic.

I gotta go with the Mk 3. I've owned a half dozen, all are gorgeous and accurate, To me they are the essence of great hand-fitted quality and individual personality, just great rifles.

It doesn't surprise me the BSF 54 has so far nil votes. and nothing for the Hungarian Swamp Donkey.
