what's the best, most accurate rifle on the market to date?

[pianoman 3,587]

There you go. Quite right John.

 

If you are getting superlative accuracy from your Pro Sport, then that too is the most accurate rifle of all....In your hands.

 

Hope it goes on getting you great shooting mate!

Like everyone has said,

 

Todays Spring or PCP Rifles are Accurate, Its the Operator at the Firing end that is the Weak link, To which the only Answer is

Practice Practice Practice, Whether with Spring or PCP be at one with your Bang stick, I'm happy with Spring or PCP,

Shoot as well with both, So get out there and enjoy your Shooting :hunter: .

found this on the Weihrauch Owners Club for you if you're interested....sounds like a bargain to me....

 

"Air arms pro sport .22 cal beech stock, with bushnell sportsman 3x9x40 scope, swivels etc. Mint condition £280 or may swap, what have you? Prefer face to face, saves hassle and everyone can see if it fits description criteria etc, which makes for a cordial smooth transaction."

the pro sport's giving me the best spring rifle shooting i've ever had simon, taken rabbits at 50m plus with it from a rested prone position, and balance, weight, trigger etc is bang on with it, but yeah, i'd still love a diana stutzen(although thats based on looks rather than owt else). however, i've recently got my mitts on a BSA airsporter stutzen and thats ok as a fun gun, but its more an investment to be sold when a diana comes up at the right price!

the other option i'm considering is sorting a stutzen stock for the pro sport, but as usual at the mo, it'll have to wait till i've saved my pennies... at least it'd just mean getting used to a different balanced gun as opposed to getting a whole new one, and mapping out a new scope etc...

 

hows it going with you mate?

I agree about the ProSport John,

 

Its a rifle that all springer lovers should try.

Hi John.

I just knew you would be right at home with the pro sport, even though that Diana Stutzen is a delightful rifle in every way. If it's got accuracy in the order you are getting from shooting with it, you mustr be a very proud and satisfied owner. Certainly get that impression from reading your posts and threads.

 

Si's right! I'm definately going to add a Walnut stock Pro Sport to my collection now that Air Arms finally, make it available to left-handed shooters like me.

 

My HW77 is just keeping on proving itself as a serious hunting rifle John. I can easily see why it ruled the roost on the HFT circuit for years. I truly love it to bits, it just keeps on giving jaw dropping shooting accuracy and reliability every time I'm out with it.

 

But the sheer beauty of the Pro Sport's design is something that I never tire of seeing. A classic hunting rifle look through and through!

 

I firmly believe, as an old school spring rifle man, that if a rifle looks right, it will shoot right..unless it's a cheap-as-chips monkey metal job internally.

 

No such fear with the Pro Sport. I've loved it since I first saw it.

 

Never seen a rifle to beat it for elegance in looks and handling. Beautiful.

 

The very best with it mate.

Wor kid had a prosport when we first started going out with Si at Catterick & before he "went PCP". Taking bunnys out at 45m+ absolutely brilliant rifle and would get a recommendation from both me and him

[secretagentmole 1,701]

as Fry said, it's a personal choice.....

Just cos a Daystate costs over a grand new on average doesnt make them any more accurate than an HW100 or AA S410, most PCP's these days will out shoot the shooter on accuracy so for me it's the guy behind the rifle that needs to do his part as a working rifle will always do it's part.

I had a BSA S10 of which I had phenominal results and only got the 2 HW100's cos they were bargains and I always wanted one.

 

So.... get out there and try a few rifles to the shoulder and see what suits you!

I got rid of a Daystate to buy a Super 10, but there again it was a nice shiny new Super 10, in the box, with BSA guarantee, bull barrelled, in ,177! Sigh, still feel happy just thinking about that...

you wont be disappointed simon, straight out of the box it shot just how i'd hoped for, i think the trigger is the equal of the rekord(which really amazed me) and it just does it for me every time i take it out, assuming the bloody dog doesnt screw it up for me or i forget my rangefinder(i just seem to have issues getting ranges beyond 35m sussed without it, to my shame...)

 

glad youre loving your 77, i was really torn between that, the 97k and the pro sport on the day, i couldnt really choose performancewise or looks with any of them, it was the pro sport just feeling right from a kneeler that swung it in the end. glad it did though!!

 

edited to say-

oddly enough, i'm a leftie too, well when writing or drawing/tattooing but when in cadets i learned to shoot right handed(lee enfield smle no 4 .303's!! the greatest!!!) so i've never tried it with my left since, maybe i should with the hw100 since the stock is ambi?!

cheers, wurz
