    We will soon find out.

    It what also normally happens with the "what break barrel" threads and it always turns out to be a 95 that gets bought which is understandable as Air Arms don't have one to compete against it

    Funny you should say that. Look no hands
    I was also going to throw that into the mix.. Pro sport.. they look lovely.. but don't get much of a mention in air gun world
    Always seem to be the 97 or the tx.
    If I'm going to buy a Springer I want the best I can afford.. but like I said I've need fired a Springer so just want people's opinions.
    Cheers
    This is the crisis I knew had to come, Distroying the balance Id kept.
    Turning around to the next set of lives, Wondering what will come next .

    The Prosport is a very controversial rifle amongst underlever lovers, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautifulest modern rifles on the market today, it's performance is exceptional and it's balance is spot on but it has it's haters, some people don't like the underlever as they say it's sharp and hurts their little fingees (ahh diddams) and it should be black or made of steel, the other bugbear is its weight and the fact that it's nearly £100 dearer than the TX but it depends on what you want at the end of the day.

    No, it is lighter than the TX200 and the HW97K, so is arguably (?) not quite as efficient at absorbing excess recoil as the other two ... I never found this a problem with any of my ProSports however, but we are all different?

    No not really but if you're intending to carry it around a field all day then it's weight may be a problem.

    Ref the ProSport (and don't get me wrong, it is a mighty fine piece of kit), you may like to check out post #33 and #34 on member harvey_s's thread entitled 'Do I want a .177 ... ?' before you commit to the visually beautiful ProSport?
