Mk1 HW85 or Webley Longbow.
Missed the boat on both back in the day.

I would still have bought an LGV.
But given the chance again I would have passed up the Lightning, HW95k and Striker and got a Pro Sport.
Good deals with these members
HW 80 .22 V Mach Maglaza. Even if “Carling” made air rifles !
“An airgun or two”………
Venom Vantage for me.....I missed the chance on a 77 Zephyr back in the day and still regret it!!
Take a look here:

Best springer to buy new now? None of them. Maybe AA PS, or Diana TH, but, honestly, none of the above. Buy used.
I have happily owned most of the classic factory ones. FWB127, HW85Mk1, BSF, Omega, Longbow, Tomahawk, multiple HW77s (though never TXs or 80s, just a personal thing), bunch of Dianas, etc. Never Venoms or Airmasters or that really high-end stuff.
If I had to keep one, it would be the walnut Longbow. Or the CS700, tuned, 25mm 77. Or the factory tyro 25mm 77. Or....Hell this gets tricky.
Of stuff I haven’t had, TXSR, Whizzer, maybe Park, definitely 80s Venom and Airmasters. Perhaps Diana TH. And Theoben SLR88.
Has to be a TX200, now to decide which one of the 8 I currently have.Even a new one would be fine since I have several spare MarkI and MarkII pistons, if I decided to short stroke it. Trouble would be the 5 minutes it would take to make the swap.
cant decide hw80 or hw35 or hw95
A Venom Bavaria. Also Original/Dianas Models 26 & 28, which seem to be equally scarce these days.
Venom Longbow in .177
Outside of that, my HW35 (also in .177) was the most enjoyable springer I've shot to date.![]()

My weihrauch hw90 (theoben gas strut...sorry know that's not a spring!) in .177 with standard barrel.
I have the .22 carbine. Lovely but variety is the spice of life right?
