    What is your FAVOURITE Airgun

    When everything is considered about an airgun like accuracy, velocity, loading, cocking, firing behaviour, aesthetics, longevity, tradition and the rest, which would be the last to go if it came to that? What one would get passed down? I guess I would have to call that one my “favourite”. And my favourite has not changed for over 40 years. Weihrauch HW55.

    At this moment in time, what is your favourite airgun?

    I've got electronic triggers, pneumatic, and spring selection. Out of all, it have to be my CS 700 stocked SFS HW 80 in .22 As with all the others it's hits the target but give a ' pat on the back '.Job done.

    I love my battered old Sport, but haven't shot it in years as I can't get it from England to where I live now.

    My favourite is my FWB300S Junior; light enough, beautifully balanced, easy to cock, fantastic trigger and very, very accurate.

    I would say its either my Walther Reign which has been insanely reliable for nearly 4 years, OR My PP700 Bob Pattenden stocked Carbine.

    Tx200 mk1 is my favourite, never been tuned or had any special treatment but always been accurate.
    I keep thinking about getting it properly tuned but I don't want to change it's character while it's still performing well. Martin

    Apart from a few special custom jobs, my favourite has to be the Diana 460 Magnum for these reasons

    It's classic looks.

    It's the only genuine fixed barrel underlever Magnum in the world that can be modified into a nice 12 FP springer with the lowest cocking effort and only just over 8 lbs in weight.

    Modern quality robust internals with a one-piece compression tube and an underlever with no play or flop.

    For those who like to do modifications and customising it would be easy to change to a PS type lever.

    If anyone knows of any other springer that can match these ability's, please let me know

    From the ones I have at the moment it's a toss up between the Fwb300s and the Starfire, but I think the honours go to the Starfire..dom
