if money was no object and you wanted the best spring gun what would you buy and why, or what do you have?

No idea where the pics are - but hell 50% is a pass
Thanks Adrian i will give them a call and they are only 20 mins up the road!
I think that John Whiscombe has now ceased production and taken his website down, Tim. Secondhand ones can be had if you are patient. There have been two or three for sale on here in the last few months, and for somewhat less than the £1300+ that they were when available new.

The HW30S.
Lightweight and compact, VERY accurate, enough power, everybody can use them, wonderful triggerunit, excellent open sights, easy to cock, good fit and finish, looks great, silent muzzlereport - but most of all - fun to shoot (and that is what counts).
I sold my two TX200 (FAC, both calibres) and my Supersport Carbine but keept the HW30S and scoped it up with a Leupold...

I play a Fender bass, I shoot a springer. I like things to be, well, dependable
The JW 60 or 70
I have both well the 70 and the 60 is waiting for me to get down to Johns and pick it up. This is not a biased oppion but one I have gained through experience. They are top notch. I have a ripley knocking out 30ft but I prefer the 70.

Nice looking kit, shame I'm very poor.
Hw77.....
With enough money I'd see if I could coax Mr Hancock out of retirement and get him to build a Venom Mach 3
Failing that it would have to be a 2nd hand Mach 2
Venom Mach 3 ? Mmmmmm
That would just fit in with the Mach1 and 2 !!

A Lazaglided HW97 with thumbhole walnut stock , i've never fired one but my stage 1 jobbie is very smooth and quiet so i can't imagine what the lazaglided version would be like. Failing that im also quite keen on these...
these are lazaglided and are also very smooth and quiet, i just wish id got it in .22.
