Springer advice needed

[kimbo]

Hi Guys,

I already own an AA s510 - which is a great tool but find myself hankering after a springer. I know this has probably been covered more then a few times but can anyone give me their opinions as to the best springer out there at the moment for game and not target?

Thanks

Kim

I thought this thread was about dogs...

Ermm Air Arms Pro Sport or HW80?

I'd say HW80, HW95, TX200 or Pro Sport.

My personal favourite from the above is the TX200.

If you a carrying for lenthy periods (after game) then i'd second the Breakbarrel movment of HW80, HW95 and throw in a BSA Supersport/Lightning

I've got a TX myself. Very smooth and accurate, but heavy as sin to lug around on long days.

hw98 is a beautful thing to shoot as well the only downside of the hw80 is that it was designed for foreign markets without the 12ft/lb limit so its not the smoothest rifle out there and mine had a bloody awful twang but with a bit of tinkering its a peach

I like the BSA Lighting XL as it is fairly light so you can lug it round all day without too much effort.

personally I shoot a HW80 very accurate (I've managed to shoot through a peice of parcel string at 30-35 yards) it can be a bit heavy but is not extrodanary heavy.
my only problems with it is that it tends to be over powered for pidgeons and rats (I've had a hit on a pidgeon only for it to fly a good 50 yards before dropping) so I advice using low penitration slugs with it, the only other problem I've found, which is probably more due to it's age is the screws tend to come lose now and again requireing tightening, but like I said that's probably due to the age of mine (about 10-13 years maybe more)
