    I've a Bigtoe short stroked 95 with a Wonky Donky spring and it is very sweet to shoot. I like the barrel dropping before cocking begins. I break the barrel, pop a pellet in and then cock the gun and return the barrel in one action. I think it's safer than the standard way of loading a break barrel where you need the gun cocked before you can put a pellet in.

    Would love to make it to the bash but working the Saturday and the BFTA Inters are on the Sunday. Gutted because I want to see what these 22/23mm TX's are like.

    I got my Wonkyed HW95 back yesterday and what a fine bit of kit it's turned into and apparently it will only get better as it runs in apparently my rifle is the first he has tuned with his new designed piston seal and he (and myself) is very pleased with the results, I had a quick rezero session last night and managed some amazing groups and that wasn't even trying very hard and I had the sun facing me so couldn't get the nicest of sight pictures down the scope, to say I am pleased is an understatement.

    I can't remember who it was on here who said a few months back on a thread that until you've used a properly sorted springer then you've not had the pleasure and experience and I have to totally agree.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Well I have just fitted tbt 12mm extension to my95 and i like it a lot, running a maccari hornet seal and a titan no5 with delrin guide and top hat, may lighten the piston a touch next, still not quite as good as my 99.

    What calibre is the 95 Al ? Also what power are you running at ? Finally, what barrel length ?
