Underlever springers (fixed barrel) What is your favourite

[Barryg]

I always thought that there was something cool that I liked about underleavers ever since my first Airsporter and being used to the Meteor BB.

Anyone else prefer fixed barrels?

Have a look at this small collection this guy has just out of interest

But it's got no nostrils, how does it smell?

The Webley MKIII is a great looking rifle. Just never shot well enough to go beyond farmyard ranges. Same might be said of Airsporters. The Airsporter BSA Centenary is a fantastic looking rifle, but shoots no better than the standard.
The Webley Eclipse is a good looker, but the trigger wasn't good enough, though at least an underlever rather than the Viscount/Tracker side lever.
BSA Silver/Goldstars?? were better but looks are so "average".
Original 50 and BSF 54 just so old school.

I have a superbly accurate Park 91. It's just fugly.

HW77 can shoot superbly. Customised in so many ways, so has to be a contender.

The Theobens were very lovely, especially the '88.


One day I will get an AA Prosport, if only for their looks. TX's aren't bad either.

Awful

Not my favourite yet...but..just bought a Prosport. 22
because it is like the old Airsporter..but far better.
Never had one before, one on the bucket list..lol.
It shoots nicely, very accurate with Accupell sized to 5.51 and is a very well made tool by the look of it.
My favourite is a full length .177 TX200 MK3 FT gun and yes, I prefer the fixed barrel guns.
I dare say soo they will be equals ..the Prosport is pretty good

.177 Prosport

Bsa standard & Imp mod D, Bsa light pattern for bell target. I have had modern rifles but keep coming back to these, never really bettered.
One of these days i will build me a special, i have a beat up old Standard with good barrel & internals, It will get a nice stock, rekord trigger unit & built in scope mounts with a classy all steel scope.

BSA Merlin -- just a junior rifle, not very powerful but a great little vintage plinker.

[Craig-P]

HW77, without doubt.
