    The ISP has an air bottle in the butt. I will have one (one day when I win the lottery)!

    The ISP Spartan does not have a bottle in the butt it has an air cylinder secreted under the forearm of the stock under the barrel!

    The tapered barrel of the mk1 and the straight barrel mark 2 I have had both and these have lovely sleek lines of a full bore gun they ballenece in the shoulder and arm don’t seem as heavy as a mk 3 Webley although Webley have a look of their own it’s the airsporter all the way mike

    For me, airguns have their own aesthetic and I'm not a fan of the faux centrefire rifle look of the ISPs and the Prosport. Mainly because the proportions are distorted by the power plant. They are fugly compared to the sleek lines of those they try to imitate.

    Mk2 Airsporter, or the second iteration of the 'S' type.

    BSA Mercury (especially later versions with the longer forend) and BSA Airsporter (especially early ones). BSA Cadet and Cadet Major. Webley overlever pistols have immense retro charm. Early attempts at 10-metre rifles from the likes of Walther and HW are delightful.
