    I’ll stick with my HW98 for a springer, along with my Ripley XL9 for the PCP. Alright, it might not be mainstream, but no dearer than the higher priced Daystates and FX’s

    Its hard I agree with most in that either the 80 or 77 changed the game and so did the Rapid. My Rapid FT is my soulmate.
    Having said that, the TX200 is the best springer and personally the Ripley XL1 in a Paul Wilson bespoke stock was the best to shoot along how it makes you feel handling it, has to be the ultimate PCP.

    I wonder if it might have been more interesting if you had of said what is the best and (why it's the best) to see if there was any real reason a why it might be considered the best in a bit more detail.

    It seems like most not all are just putting down what they own

    Maybe they own them because they think they're the best. Just saying.

    I like a rifle because of its looks as well, I had a Daystate X2 once, superb rifle, highly accurate and never let me down, but I wouldn't say it was the ultimate rifle, I said the Prosport as I think it's the best springer I own and the best looking as well, personally I don't care if the HW77 changed the world or if AA copied the Rekord trigger, its what I think, not what others think, I also happen to love the looks of the Excalibre and it shoots pretty spot on as well and doesn't cost a fortune.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I am like you I also like a rifle because of its looks so I won't disagree with you about the PS
    But I also like airguns for their engineering design robustness and overall ability while still trying to keep looks, I choose the TX HC because it seems in-between the TX and the PS.

    Anyway, I think that it's hard to disagree that these are the Ultimate spring and PCP so far made: cool:
