Yes Diana rate 460/52 equal but the 460 only has a 14in cocking lever so it would be unwise to fit a factory spring as strong as a 350 but the 460 has the same 115 mm stroke as the 350 but with a short TP and a rotating piston
What I was trying to get at was the 460 is different because it is a fixed barrel underlever that is both a magnum and light in weight and there is not another underlever to compare it with. Is there?
Wish they were, I'd have a Venom HW80!
Personally I think it's the available stock designs for springers which needs addressing.
How about an existing action in a more target oriented stock. Something with a more upright grip, deeper forend and adjustable cheek/butt.
I'm 50/50 on custom stocks. Some I think are tasteful and functional, some full on target stocks I think are hideous. But there is clearly a market for it
Back the OP...
where is the quality carbine Underlever magazine fed springer, an improved version of the original BSA Goldstar ?
Many of us shoot PCPs in preference because of the fumbly finger pellet problem when hunting !

Look at the build quality of the theoben gas-rams i know the triggers was crap but everything else was above and beyond and their multi shot slr wish they had done the same with Springers also wish daystate,fx ect would have a go at making a Springer
Also a big problem for me that i hate about Springers is the scope mounting rails theoben had the best mounts solid as a rock don't know why other brands don't follow
That was about the last time I realy used a springer full on, mid to late 80's infact, and Im lucky enough to have just fitted one of Tony Leach's 22mm kits to my recent purchase, a mk3 tx which is my way back into springers after years of pcp shooting, and I cant praise it enough, infact its transformed my tx its freaking awesome, I thought the tx was kickass as it was but oh no..

I think that the only possible way forward is for the manufactureres to utilize modern materials in the power train so to counteract the effects of mass and inertia leading to recoil and make the guns to reach the required power without resorting to ' sledge hammer ' ideology of engineering.

I am not so sure. I certainly see that sentiment on US blogs and forums, but they represent the hard core enthusiasts. I also see Gamo, Hatsan, etc pushing cheap magnum springers and seemingly doing well.
Sounds like a Webley MkII Service.
