Both in size and swept volume, i'm thinking a Hatsan 135.
How much bigger could a spring gun go or would this be the practical limit.

I have the Hatsan sniper 125,that’s bigger than my Pro/elite.
I would say the Webley Patriot was a bit of a lump,but I have no first hand experience of one.

I have the 125 too...in addition to being monstrosity large,Originally Posted by les allam
it is also exceedingly accurate and built like a tank.

Gas rather than spring but my Eliminator is a fair old lump of rifle.

That 125 must be big its the same stroke as the 135 but 29 mm bore instead of 30 mm almost the Patriot swept volume, is it running at under 12 ft/lbs?
I looks so far that the 135 is the worlds biggest ever springer

From what I have seen reported in countries with no limit around 24-27 ft/lbs in .22 but the .30 is way over 30 ft/lbs

I've a picture of me son with a hatsan 125 along side of him and it looked ridiculous. The 135 as mentioned is a 30mm cylinder. Handled a 30 cal at my rfd, I'd say it was unusable, made a 80 feel like a rat catcher!

They quote 30ftlb for the 135 but 34ftlb for the 130 as featured in the thread how not to cock a springer

Ok not stock but higher powered than stock .
According to Rich, his rifle is just a shell of a Hatsan 135. He has completely remanufactured the powerplant with custom parts that are too exotic to explain. It uses a gas spring, but that’s as close as it gets to the stock rifle. He added a custom TJ barrel, after discovering that his new powerplant benefitted by more length.
The stock 135 he has gets 535 f.p.s. with a JSB Exact 44.775-grain dome. The custom rifle gets 625 f.p.s. with the same pellet. As far as I could tell, the cocking effort of his rifle is identical to the one I am testing for you — 57 lbs. For comparison my test 135 got an average of 580 f.p.s. with that pellet. So Rich has boosted the rifle’s velocity with no increase in cocking effort. He’s done this by means of a totally new powerplant plus a new barrel. The original 135 barrel is 10.5 inches long and the one he has put on the gun is 20.5-inches. Usually a longer barrel does not add velocity to a spring gun, but on this one it does.
38.85 ft lbs after custom tuning . He is also going to try and get 700fps from it ,that is 48.73 ft lbs.

Can't imagine any bigger than the 125 and 135 and certainly none in .30 cal either.
