All open-sight rifles to be fitted with robust aperture sights. If BSA could do it within budget with the BSA Meteor Cadet, then any maker can.
PS
I also really like some of the ideas above like the mini-77, AA break-barrel, and reintroduced TX Mk1. But I'm not sure that they meet the definition of changing just one thing. I'd also like to see a Diana 52 scaled down to dimensions necessary for 12ft/lbs - a sort of sliding-breech Webley Tracker (in a proper stock, though).

That's good news. I hadn't noticed. I think the last time I bought a brand new air rifle was about 1994.
I do find the state of stocks on springers disappointing. Venom, CS, and AA all worked out in the 1980s what was a proper stock for scoped use, but most makers continue with what are basically 1930s to 1970s designs, even on guns that have no iron sights.
Crosman to start remaking the 600 and Mk1!
When filling my FAC air slot I would have loved a hw 100 (despite it probably having a low shot count) but everything I read said they were poor and accuracy suffered. So a HW100 FAC that’s as accurate as it’s 12ft/lb brethren that could do 30 shots at 30ft/lb.
Is that more than one thing? I’d also settle for decent stocks on hw springers.
For the HW77, bring I out in .14 calibre (with cheap pellets).
.20 & .25 to be commonly available same as .177 & .22, not special order only.
I made the point to Peter Martinaux (? spelling) then of BSA, when I happened to meet him, if they're on the shelf they'll sell, & 12 months later .25 were appearing more & selling.
Make the TX200 multi-shot like the Webley something or other 10 I saw on an old youtube video a while back.
