    Theres one gun that I trust, which tends to follow me to the cabin, and that is my old well worn full length .177 Supersport.
    It wears a 4x28 Weaver rimfire scope and a home made, home blued steel muzzle weight.
    This gun was my first british springer- and after I realized how good it is, it has probably been the reason I spend too much money on airguns.

    The Supersport (I have several, but this one is "The" Supersport) is set up with a mystery spring that came from a friend, and with a delrin tophat and guide it performs really nice at about 11fpe. It had become a bit buzzy lately, so it probably need a larger guide if the spring is starting to open up from a lot of shooting- this is probably the spring and gun I have shot the most over the years.

    I have never had any issues with this gun, it just keeps shooting at the same spot, and the accuracy is good to great as long as it gets a quality pellet.
    It prefers 7,9 or 8,4grs JSBs, but shoots good with a lot of other pellets too.

    I've had 2 BSA Supersports, first was a standard length .22 and shot very well, second was a .177 mk2 carbine which was a bit too lively for my liking.

    I'm sure I still have the end cap from the muzzle thingy were you could screw in a mod

    Those end caps seem to accumulate! But the muzzle thingy is getting harder to find.

    Cool

    My artemis p15 in 177 with pardnv008. And that's in front of 3 rapids and a daystate. My Mk1 HW80 is in bits being cleaned and the stock is being sanded and refurbed.
    So the Real answer to the original question would be "detail sander" I suppose

    I have a new favourite, and I found a gun that actually likes Crosman Premiers!?

    I got this group today at 20m with crappy open sights and even crappier eyesight.

    Last question and a bit of useless trivia.

    You say it likes Crosman premiers, what cal is this shooting iron ? As Chiappa little badger's are 22lr, 22WMR and .17HMR

    And

    Little badger was the nickname give to Luisa Omielam ( comedian ) by her Irish ex boyfriend.
