    Aye not at all a shabby choice. Am a big fan myself and they've accounted for many a grey menace in these parts. Also a 50T01.

    But for me I've rarely strayed from the path of all things Airking this last year.. The only thing that varied was the calibre

    This gun was my first british springer- and after I realized how good it is, it has probably been the reason I spend too much money on airguns.

    The Supersport (I have several, but this one is "The" Supersport) is set up with a mystery spring that came from a friend, and with a delrin tophat and guide it performs really nice at about 11fpe. It had become a bit buzzy lately, so it probably need a larger guide if the spring is starting to open up from a lot of shooting- this is probably the spring and gun I have shot the most over the years.

    I have never had any issues with this gun, it just keeps shooting at the same spot, and the accuracy is good to great as long as it gets a quality pellet.
    It prefers 7,9 or 8,4grs JSBs, but shoots good with a lot of other pellets too.
    A decent, old Supersport is on my want list!

    Cool

    My artemis p15 in 177 with pardnv008. And that's in front of 3 rapids and a daystate. My Mk1 HW80 is in bits being cleaned and the stock is being sanded and refurbed.
    So the Real answer to the original question would be "detail sander" I suppose

    I have a new favourite, and I found a gun that actually likes Crosman Premiers!?

    I got this group today at 20m with crappy open sights and even crappier eyesight.

    Last question and a bit of useless trivia.

    You say it likes Crosman premiers, what cal is this shooting iron ? As Chiappa little badger's are 22lr, 22WMR and .17HMR

    And

    Little badger was the nickname give to Luisa Omielam ( comedian ) by her Irish ex boyfriend.

    Just shows what a good tune can do for these rifles but if I can pick your mind please Dave, what method did you use to keep the power behaving itself ?

    Either my German market HW30S, or regulated Diana Bandit. Both low cost, but very accurate 10m paper target guns.
