Your perfect sporting breakbarrel?

[Riva]

A while ago, I had the chance to buy one of the new Walther LGV's with plastic stock at a REALLY good price.
I was working part time at a gunshop to help out the owner/ a good friend, and the thing was just collecting dust, so I was offered to take it home for a try.
Tried it out for some days, shot a few targets, and really liked the soft recoil and great barrel/lockup.
But the stock and trigger turned me off, and I returned the rifle.

Now I regret not buying the gun, because few other guns share that soft non-vibrating shotcycle right out of the box at this power level.
And I'll never get a that good deal on one again. But the stock and trigger turned me off, so now I'm just dreaming up my "perfect breakbarrel sporting springer":

-the barrel and action from the new LGV, with a muzzle weight and no open sights.
-tx/prosport trigger and rear block
-supersport stock

Whats YOUR idea of a perfect sporting breakbarrel???

I already have 4 perfect sporting breakbarrels, but sorry none right out of the box.

Hi Per,

Fantastic to see you on.

If your health issues indeed were to allow you to visit us at a Boinger Bash, along with evert, it would truly be fantastic.

In the meantime, if you two were able to get together over in Norway; brilliant.

Some lovely rifles you have there.

All the very best.

It really is a unique event, Per. Very relaxed and enjoyable and with many of the characters from here present, including some of the very knowledgeable tuners.

If we were to have a small contingent from Norway there, it would make it memorable for us also.

Your springer collection is truly something special, with Pauls work bringing out what is is probably optimal performance from each model!
The power levels of your HW's correspond quite well with what I have found to be where the different models really do their best, and from seeing your guns, I know Pauls work is second to none!

The Longbow might be closest to my definition of perfect, just right in every aspect: correct size, great barrel lockup, good adjustable trigger, great barrel, good stock design, one piece cocking linkage and close to perfect stroke length...

But the Longbows are hard to find over here!
