    the smaller slavia 631. Once I sleaved the port, and chopped and recrowned the barrel, it was a very accurate little gun.
    For unmollested guns, the gamo BSA meteor is pretty accurate

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Anschutz 335.
    My FWB 124 isn't too shabby either.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    The little Relum Telly that I bought from Melv (Chippendale) at last years final bash has surprised me.

    We think it's completely bog standard (it's properly boingy) and just has the standard open sights. I can keep a 1 inch group at 20 yards, which doesn't sound awesome by modern standards but I was expecting GPMG style shot pattern!

    I've a service kit for it which will convert it to a single spring rather than the double, plus a piston seal conversion, so it'll be interesting to see how it shoots with a little fettle.

    My .25 Supersport is pretty accurate considering it's a BSA and the calibre, I've pushed it out a bit further at the range and it can keep up with my son with the .22 LGV.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I was about to post much the same thing (but without the son )
    I almost regret selling mine, but the hassle over pellet size was doing my head in.

    The Tornado was the better of the two, I’m surprised you don’t have them both?

    They’re getting hard to find now though……

    Buying the Relum at the Bash was spur of the moment mate. I've never had (or even tried) one before and I really didn't have great expectations for it, but it's a fun little thing to shoot in the garden and, most importantly, my lad loves it.
    He wanted a scope for it at first but then found he could get decent groups with the opens and said he wants to keep it as it is

    Yeah, both the 630/631 and the mk6 meteor are good performers at low cost.
    Too many airguns!

    A meteor mk2 gifted to me is very accurate, now with my eyes it's me letting the side down.
    A .20 webley vmx looks hideous sounds awful, described by an American as sounding like an ejected garand magazine hitting concrete but very accurate with h&n ftt .
    I agree with Mark a good trigger is the key .

    The Chinese rifles seem to be in good standing in this thread, whats the Concensus on the B3? I know they bite but had one on my to buy list for a while now (need to refill coffers first mind).

    I’ve got a B3, B4 and B5. The trigger on a B4 is horrendous. The B3 is much better with a similar set up on the B5. If you must get one, find one second hand, just don’t put down hard earned on new.
