I honestly think the Century is one of the best guns out there at the moment.
It's better, IMHO, than the HW99 or 95. In fact the only break-barrel HW that comes close is the 80 and even then the Century is sweeter out of the box (at least at 12fpe).
I owned a Prosport and a well sorted HW80 at the same time as the Century. And the Century is the only one that I still have. I think that tells it's own story (not least about my taste in airguns!

).
I'm still not sure about selling the HW80 (there really
is something about them) but it was somewhat pellet-fussy and nowhere near as effortlessly accurate as the Century.
By contrast, the Prosport had effortless accuracy in spades (clinical, one might say) but no soul whatsoever. Once I got the HW80, I hardly ever picked up the Prosport. (And that's the main reason that I never bought an LGV – I didn't want to end up with a break-barrel Prosport equivalent).
For me, the Century hits a unique spot – it manages to combine Prosport style accuracy with a fair dollop of HW80 style character.
And there's nothing else on the market that I'd rather have right now.
