    The trigger flaps about when it's not cocked!

    Super accurate, but then so is the TX and the ProSport. Sold mine.

    They are one to own if you get the chance mate, and very accurate too.
    I had 3, and only sold them due to reducing my collection.

    Have a great day yourself bud. 😊.👍

    That's because it disengages from the action whilst uncocked.
    Never found it a problem.

    You’re right about the trigger,! That’s the one thing I don’t like about mine.

    Quite good then....so how come it seems most of you sold them on in favour of others

    Surely a floppy trigger when uncocked wasn't that off-putting was it?

    Me personally, I sold mine as they weren't getting used. I only have 3 now, 2 of which are very rare and that'll do me.
    This is a mk1 .177 I bought in quite a state.

    And this is what it ended up like 2 weeks later once I'd restored it.

    I had a Mk1 SR in beech and found it heavy, hard to cock and I didn't liike the balance or stamped floppy trigger. I sold it and bought a Pro Sport in walnut which I treasured (when I managed to prise it back from my then brother-in-law's hands!) - beautiful, balanced and accurate - and shot happily for many years.
