Lightweight springer for lightly built pensioner

[look no hands]

And we'll always have the beautiful, classic 35 lurking in the background!

To heavy and to ugly and that's where it should stay........in the background

A very measured response compared to the usual, Pete.

I mentioned the Hw30s earlier on this thread and still think it would be a good choice,but if you can track down a Brocock Independent for your Dad it would be a nice light weight springer that looks nice and shoots great,the trigger is not brilliant but usable.Some of the lads at the Last bash where impressed with my one.

Not bad - but, as I understand it, a badge-engineered Gamo-made Meteor Mk7. A Birmingham-made BSA Supersport is probably a bit nicer (I've only shot the Meteor 7 on fairgrounds, but have owned a Brum "sport and it's a perfectly decent little springer, and getting mildly collectable).

Did I say Diana 27?

Yeah the Brum built supersport was a nice gun,I got one for my kid brother years ago.
The Independent really surprised me in the way it performs,I have some nice tuned springers that shoot great but the little Brocock doesn't let it self down in the enjoyment stakes..

Yes, I was most impressed with the Independent, Les. Proper breech bolt and very nice stock / ergonomics.

Hi Tony
Yeah I thought the Independent would suit most for its handy size and light weight and easy cocking.
And it's a good looker as well.

Strange you should mention that, as I've been contemplating selling mine, I've got new projects to do and 'Project Cock' isn't getting the attention it should anymore.
