This is what i have, 4-12x50 scope extra large silencer diving bottle for refills, 1 fill lasts 500 shots. Cost me 700 quid but an amazing piece of kit. Hardly makes a sound. Can be tuned to 30flb..if you have fac licence.

What about the Weihrauch HW35 or the HW80 with a 4x32 scope, a cracking combo. Under levers are bit heavy IMO

I have an ancient Relum .177 that used to be used in my School Science dept for ballistics experiments. When I became Senior Tech I discovered that it had been written off for disposal years before. Now I use it for shooting Golden Delicious on my tree.

Guns are for girls, you need to get in close with the knife!

Havent used a springer since I sold my Theoben Evo (which is technically a gas ram).

Got a Daystate Mk3 Sport at the mo which is amazing.

Anyone here shoot HFT or doing UKAHFT series this year?

Simon.

I have a Logun Axsor and it's great.

Had a Theoben Fenman before that, and although a nice solid and well performing gun, it was a bit heavy and noisy.

Why go for underlever? Just adds to the weight.
