Out of all the cheap springers the bsa superstar surprised me the most , Maybe being an underlever may have helped as my mate was shooting a 177 cal Polaris and I was quite surprised how well it was shooting.

1970/s .22/ trigger too heavy,spring twang
but could hit anything with standing shots out to 30yrds
or was it me ?
My CZ Slavia 634. Amazing little thing. 25mm piston with synthetic ring at the rear from the factory. Manual barrel latch. Superb barrel. Very, very accurate. Twangy as standard but shoots sublimely with its TbT top hat and guide. Very civilised.
Gamo Vipermax. The super-lightweight rodless 25mm piston giving very little inertia. Again, once de-twanged with Welsh Willy guide and top hat, very refined.
My cosmetically challenged early Supersport. Very accurate. Again, extremely civilised with its TbT guide & top hat.

Although more of a premium brand, may I mention my lovely little Diana 24D T01? A stunning little junior which will have been cheap in its day. Lovely trigger, very nice cocking and firing cycles and stunningly accurate at the closer ranges it has been used at.

Remmington Express will hold its own with the big boys. Mach 1.5
the smaller slavia 631. Once I sleaved the port, and chopped and recrowned the barrel, it was a very accurate little gun.
For unmollested guns, the gamo BSA meteor is pretty accurate

I once bought a tatty Smk xs20 that had been shortened to 12” crudely and had bad bluing, I squared up the barrel with hand files and re crowned it and also fitted a tx200 short stroke with hw seal and it was so consistent and easy to shoot accurately and would honestly do the pellet on pellet at 30 yards I really should of kept it.
