Why do top end springers have mid to high swept volume?

[Shed tuner]

No one who wants to stay in business is going to design an action solely for UK market.

yup completely agree... and that's where high end springers that are designed for far greater power outputs than ours arise... they may feel nice and soft at 12 FP, but they may also be hold and pellet sensitive, or at the very least sub optimal in terms of achievable accuracy...

It's not because they can't design for 12 FP, or don't know how to; it's because it's not commercially viable...

However, walther have the century and the LGV; same gun, just remove the sleave..., and 6 and 12 FP versions (changing the piston rod length) of the LGV and LGU, so quite why AA can't do a simple choice of piston rod length (mk1/2 for 12 FP, mk3 for fac) in the TX200 is a something of a mystery Can those two simple options really cost that much ?

Tom and Longbow were a great idea also. One for export and shorter action for domestic, though both were popular worldwide.

JMO Jon but I like the mk 3 because I like the HC with its short lever and once propley tuned only 28lb effort at UK limit.

You are right about the Walther's if you like them they do cater for short stroke fans and are not low end rifles
But the century don't seem much of magnum for the American market when you look at the competition.

Don't blame all of us, but maybe 99% can be blamed. I'm the pellet gun guy that all my friends and neighbors know and I get all the questions. No matter how hard I try to explain, the only thing they see is Gamo's 1600 fps ads. I'm often informed that you can kill deer and hogs with airguns as well. Have a read over on the Yellow Forum and you'll see that the springer is pretty much dead and big bore, huge power pcp's rule the roost. Makes me sick. Come on Air Arms, bring back the MarkI/II stroke guns.

LOL I don't think that all airgunners in America would agree with you about PCPs
