mark williams 7,549 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Lads, I`ve put a few photos together of the spring rifles I`m hunting with. My 100`s aren`t seeing much work lately, as the enjoyment and satisfaction I`m getting from the springers is just " pure air gunning" HW97K. .177 Pro Sport. .177 T Rex 200 HC MK3. .177 FWB Sport ( 41 yrs old) atb mark 4 Quote Link to post

mole trapper 1,645 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Awesome post thank you. Two of my Fwb sports have now arrived back, actions from blueing by Colin maloy, stocks from Nathan for restoration. Got to try three other sports at the BBS bash a couple of weeks ago, each having different tuning done to them. The most pleasant by far to use "for my tastes" was a simple v-mach drop in kit. So when I get back from hols I will order one and see if it feels the same in mine, if it does I will order another. Quote Link to post

Deker 3,450 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Cracking stuff and some great guns here. Springers can certainly bring results but I struggle to see what would make me buy a new one over a PCP today. Just the same, I still have my trusty (and very primitive by todays standards) Airsporter and have no plans to move it on, but it only comes out for nostalgia, not hunting! 1 Quote Link to post

I’ve got a good few spring and gas ram guns but I just use them for fun these days really. With modern pcp’s You’re buying performance and capability in multi shot that a spring rifle can’t do. No matter who’s behind the trigger, a multi shot pcp has superior overall performance. They’re a more advanced tool 1 Quote Link to post
