Springer Rifle with open sights

[Geezer]

For what purpose do you intend to use it? Garden plinking, range informal target, ratting, 10M match, bell target, hunting, HFT, FT? Different answers to all those.

If you want a 12 ft/lbs sporter type rifle, then the options include the HW77 (my choice), some of the top-end Umarex Walthers, and the Diana 52 and 54 (maybe used for the 54 for under £400). And the HW80, 85, 95, 99, Diana 31/34/36/38. And 45. The old FWB Sport. Webley Omega. BSA Superstar. Etc.

Basically any good springer that comes or came with iron sights.

Will be used for garden plinking and possibly I will look at joining a club in the not too distant future. For the record I have a TX200 and Theoben Evolution so have to admit I am interested in the HW80 or similar break barrel as I feel the 77 would be very similar to the TX200!!

Not the smoothest springer but I am in love with my Diana K98. Nice easy sights to use. Even I can hit 30yds knock downs. Apparently it is very tunable

That did feel very nice, Pete.

My only regret is that I couldn't catch up with you later on the Saturday afternoon for another go.

Could I have a go next month, pretty please?

[flyingfish]

By all means Tony

Absolutely beautiful.

Either a 77 or 80

I have both. My 80 is a k with open sights.

I have a AA Pro elite with open sights - can't use it though because I'm a leftie and its in right handed stock - try as I might, I can't get correct eye alignment!!

HW77 cos its the best, if I wanted a break barrel then it would be the HW95 Super Match

that looks promising.

Wished you hadn't mentioned the Supermatch. I didn't even know these existed.

So, the standard factory one is basically a '98 with open sights?

Absolutely bloomin' lovely and I want one!
