Out of the rifles on your list and as you don't want to do anything major to it then I'd have to recommend the Cometa 400 USC, you'd be surprised how good they are out of the box, the trigger needs a little adjustment but pretty good.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
HW95 (with a short stroke extension), or 99S (you might need to address the cocking lever). Or 30S if moderate power is fine.
You just need a decent trigger to enjoy a springer and hone your technique, and the above are moderate weight, accurate, and will last a lifetime.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Webley Longbow if you can find one. Mach 1.5
A lot of good recommendations above I'd like to add a good Birmingham made Supersport if you can find one.
Too many airguns!
Diana 34 or 280, good triggers but will boing a bit unless they've had guides fitted. I also love my lightning tac, its as accurate as any of my 22 break barrel springers inc the 99. The triggers not as good but I can manage it ok and is no barrier to accuracy. If weight wasn't an issue I'd say try a HW90.
Plinkerer and Tinkerer
same for me too HW95 or HW98
superb with the short stroke.
Hw98
BSA SUPERSPORT .22
Ripley ar5s .177
Steyr challenge hft 177 SYWELL FT CLUB
Haitch Dubya Ninedy Five.
You'll hate the OOB twang but you'll have it forever.
New FWB Sport. Same as above but much more refined chassis.
If you are going to tune at some point anyway you may as well start with a near perfect platform to begin with.
Same as others tx and hw95 are fantastic guns
HW95 and then probably extra bits / internals (most refined choice)
Cometa 400 Fenix - not quite as nice, lifetime G'tee from ASI, about 1/3rd cheaper, shoot well from new (and better breach shim design)
I'd give the other options a miss from original post
Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34
That could be a very goid suggestion. This gun will be for paper punching so I don't need the shorter barrel + mod as found on the 95.
Similarly the Cometa 400 SC laminate is definitely in the running but it's more of a hunter and I use my pcp's for that.
So maybe a Cometa Fusion or HW98 would tick the boxes , anyone got one?
