Springer virgin

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

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?

I've got a Prosport, TX and TX HC all in .177

The Prosport is by far and away the best looking springer I own (and there's a lot to choose from!) but getting the same level of accuracy as the full length TX is a bit harder. Needs a lot more concentration. Round an HFT course I would probably lose 2 or 3 extra points with the Prosport just because you have to be more switched on to get the best out of it.

Depends what your priorities are. If I could only have one springer and didn't shoot competitions, it would be the PS

Cheers again... yet more food for thought.

In my eyes the Prosport is one of those luxury "Investment" type rifles, it's going to do the job and it's as beautiful as hell but it's one of those rifles you buy when you have everything else and you just want to spoil yourself with something special.

Bitch.

It had to be said because I don't see what the problem is personally

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?
