    In the last month I'd have to say the 2240 mini-carbine. Even though it's my least accurate gun. All down to being restricted to garden use.

    Over the last six months.....the Mercury S, due to fettling it in January and trying out / pellet testing.

    Similar to the OP I'm shooting my factory tyrolean webley Vulcan. It's SFS tuned and has a chambers trigger. It's a cracking little gun and is helping me take the edge off my squirrel plague.
    Best Regards

    Simon

    I've got some slug guns.

    Oh that’s a hard question to answer I have different rifles for different types of shoot and weather conditions. If have to put my hand on my heart for a all rounder I would say my trusty R10 it’s never let me down at all over the years. It is a very early one built just after the MK2s came in.

    No1 reach for

    For the pigeons - 2013 Meteor in .22. Find the HW35 a bit heavy at the mo, due to minor health issues.
    Plinking - trying to make up my mind between a Hurricane & Tempest in .177.

    For me it has to be my FAC FX Wildcat mk2, it's just so light and accurate. Perfect for squirrel bashing.
    One shot, one kill. Not luck, just skill.

    Theres one gun that I trust, which tends to follow me to the cabin, and that is my old well worn full length .177 Supersport.
    It wears a 4x28 Weaver rimfire scope and a home made, home blued steel muzzle weight.
    This gun was my first british springer- and after I realized how good it is, it has probably been the reason I spend too much money on airguns.

    The Supersport (I have several, but this one is "The" Supersport) is set up with a mystery spring that came from a friend, and with a delrin tophat and guide it performs really nice at about 11fpe. It had become a bit buzzy lately, so it probably need a larger guide if the spring is starting to open up from a lot of shooting- this is probably the spring and gun I have shot the most over the years.

    I have never had any issues with this gun, it just keeps shooting at the same spot, and the accuracy is good to great as long as it gets a quality pellet.
    It prefers 7,9 or 8,4grs JSBs, but shoots good with a lot of other pellets too.

    I've had 2 BSA Supersports, first was a standard length .22 and shot very well, second was a .177 mk2 carbine which was a bit too lively for my liking.

    I'm sure I still have the end cap from the muzzle thingy were you could screw in a mod

    Those end caps seem to accumulate! But the muzzle thingy is getting harder to find.
