My .25 Supersport is pretty accurate considering it's a BSA and the calibre, I've pushed it out a bit further at the range and it can keep up with my son with the .22 LGV.
Even better looking than a HW35

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

I was about to post much the same thing (but without the sonOriginally Posted by look no hands

I almost regret selling mine, but the hassle over pellet size was doing my head in.

My .22 Supersport is one of my favourite Guns, its a 1986 but looks as if it was made yesterday with how well it's put together, She'll be at the Bash with me if I can get there.

I one hole grouped my unfettered mk 5 .177 meteor at 35 yards a few times. So literally through shooting 10,000 pellets and trying every mechanical assistance I could dream up ( homemade springer friendly bipods made of sponge, twine and hazel) I got that dog of a rifle on paper to shoot very consistently. Essentially I learnt marksmanship using that rifle and got close to the best from it I reckon.

My BSA Superstars are quite accurate, as good as my TX200HC, but, I have become inaccurate…..

Bog standard ish, Webley Omega .22.
Very accurate and sweet.

Err... maybe it was a cheap secondhand rifle for you but the Webley Omega was the flagship model for Webley, when they finally went after a good trigger, a solid precision breech set up and some good sights and stock. It was built to compete with the Feinwerkbau Sport, so its a bit like the Anschutz 335 and BSA SuperStar mentioned above, really a top-level springer.
Glad it shoots well through, they spent a lot on R&D (or stealing ideas from other makers!) on it but it was too late.. the HW77 had knackered everything.

SMK XS38 177 tuned by ARC just as accurate as my TX200 and Diana 48

Original 45.
It was less expensive than the FWB Sport and HW35/80/77, just not as cheap as a Webley Vulcan MK1.
They shoot well.

For its time it was a top-end rifle .. like the Webley Omega etc ..

But so was the Annie 335.
Heck, so was the Webley Vulcan MK1. The Webley flagship that would be developed to the Omega.
BSA was Airsporter, and it's break barrel the Mercury.
So many not off the top tier shoot well enough. If you can get over their triggers and don't shoot beyond the farmyard. Much depends on the accuracy demanded.
I quite like shooting the BSA Buccanier. Slap a dot sight on and plink cans over.
Shooting was once done standing, and not attached to a bench, bag, and seat. Loads of Top Tier rifles are no fun shooting standing as they are heavy fat lumps. Loads of fun to be had with the "little" rifles. I have a soft spot for the BSA Cadet.

This in heaps.
I've used several of Lyn's tuned up, budget Chinese rifles and they knock spots off of many outfits offering super tunes on HW and AA rifles.

35 years ago we found a very rusty Relum Taurus in an abandoned half sunken boat It was covered in red rust. I took the stock off & chucked the rest in a tank of diesel for a week. Put a new piston head & washer in it & it & it was shooting again. The trigger on these is agricultural but you can see that the budget for these was spent mostly on the barrel. It is beautifully rifled & shoots really well. We still have it.

IJ would have liked this story, the rescue of a ‘Hungarian Swamp Donkey’ from an actual swamp!
I think one or two of the AGW writers maybe BTDT liked the Taurus or Telly. Clearly a very robust rifle. A heavy trigger can be overcome with enough practice like with the old .303 Enfield..
