Sorry swedey,im an ignoramus!Have i spelt that right?

If I have got the geest of this right (sometimes I don't, old brain cells you see), then it has to be the Theoben Eliminator, or a AA Pro Elite, if you can get hold of one secondhand that is.

whats the recoil like on gas rams like?

[pugger666]

just enough to give the gun a real feel......its hard to explain....try a springer then a gas-ram one after the other......then you will feel what trying to explain.....buy one you will never regret it....!

Gasram recoil...fast!
I dont know where they get off saying, the quote theoben, "lowest recoil ever...". The recoil on my prosport is less than the fenman, infact I swapped my fenman for it.
I swapped because I prefer the balance, stock and trigger of the ps, I dont think it really makes any difference which power plant it is, spring or gasram, its the implementation of the power plant that matters.
I found the fenman trigger a bit of a let down, I should have shot it before I bought it. The stock a bit odd too, I only noticed later.
This is all subjective though, you may like the fenman better. They are class engineering, wonderfully finished and will probably outlast the owner.

A little hard to describe but they are definitely not like a standard springer.
The recoil is less progressive, more of a sharp slap than a normal springer.
Hope that helps
