When it comes to traditional classic looks HW vs Diana underlevers I guess it's personal taste but I know what I like
Also remember the fish scale vote thread the fish scale won so AA do know what they are doing

I have to agree with you Barry with the above two rifles, the Diana looks far better, I think the stock on the 77 is an attempt to copy the TX and LGV but it looks like someone traced around a picture of said stocks with a lump of coal, it's to blocky, the problem for me is, I don't like exposed underlevers, thus my love for the Prosport and Airsporter, I just don't like things sticking out where they don't need to be and spoiling the looks.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
If we're talking older rifles, FWB Sport and Air Arms Khamsin anyone?

I have a few classic and modern springers ,and the Pro/sport is the best looking current model available((don't like the fish scale nonsense ) imo.
But a nice Webley Tomahawk or Longbow in Walnut is nicer to look at and shoot with .I do prefer the B/ barrel's .

Don't forget the reason for the long cylinder its supposed to be the world's most powerful fixed barrel underlever springer that is also the reason for the robust lever, in the US some crank up the cocking effort to over 50 lbs, In the UK its about 15 lbs with a solid wobble free lever
You could call it the light weight slim jim look at just over 8 lbs
The 430 is more compact and even lighter still but some smaller shooters say its to much cocking effort.
I like the way we shooters have different preferences otherwise what we talk about
Yep, based on looks and handling, the 280 is far nicer, in my opinion, than the Diana underlevers.
