I remember when I was 10 and I got my first air rifle. a 177 BSA diana but my
favourite one is my old 22 bsa airsporter.
I had my airsporter upgraded with x2 12fpp springs. It was difficult to load as I was only 15 but that with a combination of a flat tip hobby pellet = rabbit was going down!
Always found that with a 177 it would go through he target.
I'd love another one but wife doesn't even like toy guns let alone a real one.
