Ultimate spring and pcp of ALL TIME....

[gunsnlandies]

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

[Barryg]

I'd agree with you Barry, that is a beautiful rifle but not one many people could afford, so probably wouldn't consider

The OP title was the (Ultimate spring/PCP) of all time not what you could afford

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've had two, one of the early limited edition rifles in .177 and much classier later one in .22, stunning workmanship, had that one from 2009 to 2018

Springer HW 77/80

I've never fired a PCP so can't comment

Absolutely nothing beats a Leshiy classic! If we’re talking pcp.

Beats it at what...?

Build quality, ease of maintenance, lack of maintenance, efficiency.

[Barryg]

Ok what's the best? I would say hw77 and theoben rapid7.

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

Or with what

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.

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:
