    For the avoidance of doubt, my ideal springer at 12 ft-lbs or so would be a 22mm cylinder long-stroke late-model (LW barrel) Webley Tomahawk with a Venom trigger and a resettable safety catch, preferably ambidextrous. In walnut.

    Which is basically the mythical unicorn Air Arms break-barrel that at least 63 people on here have been lobbying for.

    Shooting my Tomahawk again at the weekend, it really is the nicest full power break barrel I’ve ever shot.

    Off a bag rest at 40 yards it’s very very impressive. Re the OP’s question, I couldn’t say it’s mechanically perfect, but it’s the closest I’ve had in a ‘normal’ sporter springer.

    10m guns are another issue, I have a squishy spot for my original 75, which must be a contender for mechanically perfect mantle in its class.
