What air rifle would you class as the pinnacle

[tinbum]

No such thing. Our Steyr H5 is stunningly accurate and utterly dead to shoot, but I get more fun from shooting my BMG or HW95.

If money were no object I would buy an ISP Spartan and probably never shoot it.

[averageplinker]

Ok for me competition is HFT, occasionally. My dream rifle would be a Daystate CRX in leftie format. I have had a go on a couple of these in right handed format and they were lovely.
However they are rare'ish and I am starting to get a strange urge to sell off a lot of my rifles and buy a steyr HFT rifle instead. So maybe that is my new dream rifle?

The search goes on.

Currently my LG110 HFT is probably my most accurate, but my Tsar is also a contender for that crown? I've still not found "the one", but would still like to try a TM1000 and an Anschutz 9015. I see a couple of people posting about ISP, but I don't know much about them, I think they are just a one man band doing custom work, so it's difficult to know if their stuff is as good as the top makers as it's obviously in very limited quantity and no one is going to slag off a gun they have had made for themselves if it's not as good as off the shelf stuff?

I could argue different guns depending on the discipline. Besides, there are many guns I’ve not shot and some that I have were disappointing.

During my FT shooting days, I had most of the top flight PCP's, in some cases in multiples. I'm talking Walther lg300, Annie's, LG100/110, RN10 through to mk3 ev2's. Never did have a FWB, but was unfortunate enough to own an early Daystate Grand Prix.

I now don't shoot competively (looking to start HFT though) I can honestly say that I will probably never own another PCP.

I'm currently really enjoying shooting and tinkering with springers. My pinnacle rifle will be my sorted pro elite when it returns from Mr Pope.
I know the PE is not to everybody's liking due to weight/size/swept volume etc. But it does feel like quality and I will have had sorted at least one of the above issues along with some other rather nice additions by the time it returns to me.

What happened to that HW80 in the Ginb stock? I would love a 25mm piston 80mm stroke Pro Elite.

I'm a springer man through and through, but I'm getting a craving for a Sportsmatch GC2...

[Amac]

I must admit that the GC 2 is a hell of a gun for a PCP. Herr Jones has a couple that he has allowed me to shoot over the years and they for some reason possess a certain character that is sadly missing in the high majority of current PCPs. Just as accurate as anything about now in my opinion. They were also handmade by craftsmen here in blighty which adds to their desirability. For me anyway.

The GINB stocked 80 is still with me, that's also had the Vmach Magic (reduced volume etc.)
I've just always had an itch for a PE that will now be designed for sublime sub 12ftlb power levels.

Seconded, he is in a league of his own, I have held and shot all of his rifles as properly Craig has and I would not only put them up with the likes of styer etc but would say they are better than them and they are British

Wanted to pop up and see you today mate but Sarah was called into work again so I ended up watching Peppa Pig - have a lovely Christmas pal and I’ll see you in the New Year.

[Edtwozeronine]

I'd have a copy of that chap's HW100 with a phat-bottle and bipod fitted to it. It looks ridiculous, but probably does the job and has a higher shot count than mine.

Just buy a right handed CRX and learn to shoot like a normal person

Hi Graham,
It will take more than ignoring my left eye dominance to make me like a normal person

PS I would happily buy a "normal" CRX and put a lefty stock on it.

Having spent some time with a friend at Shaun's I.S.P workshops, I can only say that my Anschutz 9015 will be getting flogged allowing me to afford one of the I.S.P Airstreams next year. I could not believe the attention to detail and superb engineering that is built into every hand made gun. They dont even cost the earth either.
A genuine work of engineering art that actually shoots well, and made here in the U.K to boot.
