Ah well, if we're going "self-contained", then it would be my Benjamin 392.Originally Posted by rhyslightnin

My answer always used to be a FWB124, but recently my Park Rifle Company 91 for its tac driving accuracy.
Thankfully you did ask what powder burner

Don't laugh but mine would be my Webley hawk mk2 , owned from new for 40 years, modified to death to make it better than crap.

An RWS 45 in .177 with a Diana 60 Diopter on top.
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got a Spring

I am thinking more of a one time purchase to last a lifetime. A just in case rifle.
You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap.http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

Well, putting it that way, Rob, and reading "survivalist" rifle into it, that'd be the HW80, then.

Surely that would be the Umarex Wildlife?Well, putting it that way, Rob, and reading "survivalist" rifle into it, that'd be the HW80, then.
If the Q is pick the best springer ever, it's the Mach1 or 2, or some other Venom contraption, or maybe a Whiscombe.
In tin foil hat weirdo prepper mode, I would want something very well made, not too heavy, and probably with a leather piston seal (as they last forever and can be revived, whereas at least some of the synthetics seem to degrade over time). Think Diana 35, Webley MkIII, that kind of thing. (I'm assuming that a Bren gun and a Glock 17 are out of scope - but they do both have springs in them.

My mk2 TX200. The only tuning it's had is having had many thousands of pellets though it since I got it in 1994. In .22 of course.
I could be tempted by a venom 80 as per John Darling.

I really like my HW35 and my HW55, but if it came down to it I'd keep the 25mm .177 HW77 'til the last.

In that scenario, I am 100% with you: HW80 all the way -- although I would still stick with my favoured cal of .177 and would look for the K carbine model, too.

This week it would be the Original 50T01. Next week its likely to be summat different but quite likely to be of the Diana flavour

If I could only have one Springer it would have to be a DIana 460 magnum and this is why, what other gun mentioned can match it for fac performance and be sleeved to shoot nice at low power, light weight and can be customised with a prosport/airsporter type lever,
A one piece compression tube and a robust build.
What other springer can match these qualities
