I've been getting the itch for a springer again. I promise this time I'm going to try to keep this one. I like the looks of the 350 pro compact and I shot one years ago and it was really nice. How are the new ones? I've had a HW95 .22, Hw97 .177, RWS m48 in .25 and .177, Hatsan M95 .177 , Beeman crow magnum .20 and a Walther Terrus .177. I'd like something capable of pesting and accuracy wins over power ,but power is nice. I'm also considering a R9 or HW95 in .20. overall I want very pointable, accurate and not a lot of weight.
 
Can't hardly go wrong with a R9 especially in .20 cal. But there are so many choices out there these days for good quality springers!

The new Sig ASP20 is getting great reviews but it's a gas ram instead of a spring and getting big power at over 20fpe.

Walther Parris is another one that won't break the bank and has good power. 

Diana 34 is a better choice in my opinion than the 350 just because of recoil and ease of shooting if you go that route. Also it comes in .22 and don't think you can get the 350 pro compact in .22 anymore. 

Oh don't forget the Diana 460 ! The price has really came down on these guns and it's a great hunting gun with both power and killer accuracy. 

I could go on and on I've had so many through the years....good luck in your search and let us know what you decide on!

James from Michigan, 

PS, What did you think of that crow magnum? I just picked one up in .20 myself and cocking effort is crazy but the shot cycle is really nice for all that power.

Thanks, I see you're right about 460 on price. I will do some research on that one. I'm a little nervous on the Sig, but we'll have too see if they do as well as promised. Trying to stay around that $400 price or less. That Crow magnum was beautiful! It was a learing curve to shot consistently, but once I got the hang of it the Starlings hated it. LOL. I could smack them at will at 30 yrds out of the tree at will. She was a little heavy for my taste which was why I passed her on.

The synthetic stock Sig ASP20 is $350. I understand about venturing into the Sig. It's a new gun without a proven track record. New products always make me a little skeptical. I own one and so far it doesn't take a back seat to any German or English gas-springer I have ever owned. And their have been many of them.

Airkrazy, I absolutely recommend the Diana 460 magnum. It has a distinct recoil, so to protect the scope you may need a mount that dampens it. Myself I use the bullseye zr-mount and are happy with it, but I have noticed some thumbs down for this mount also. But again, my experiences with the 460 combined with this mount is the best, and the idea with a fixed barrel, instead of a break barrel also make sense to me..

Other than Lightweight, the LGV is a keeper for sure. PCP accuracy at 30 yards (maybe more? I don’t shoot further) At minimuyI would recommend giving it a look.

I want a lightweight Springer as well. Looking at both the HW95 & the HW50. Both of these are offered in complete packages from AoA, very sharp scopes.
