Just speaking for myself, it's probably this one: a Diana Model 50b in .177 that is new to me but has seen plenty of use, and is still tight and accurate. It comes from a time when factory made meant produced by seasoned pro's and still involved plenty of personal skill. There are many things you can't see in the pic - the most excellent rear sight (removed to make room for the Weaver K3-W), the four post front sight, the still airtight fitment of the loading tap (!), the contoured and checkered underlever, the 3 ball bearing trigger, etc. Leather seals and all, it is a truly fine rifle that really does it for me. I wish I had been alive when they were new, to have bought one in each caliber!

So, it's show-and-tell time.... whatcha got?

Beautiful

Definitely my HW98 in .177 with a CS800 stock doing 13.5 fpe. It’s the perfect size and power of springer for target shooting and hunting, imo.

My Nickle HW80K in 25. Not near as special as the others listed in this thread. It would be the last to leave my meager collection. That says a lot because I am the kind of guy that everything of mine is available for the right price.

HW EL54 Barakuda, the only gun designed and built to diesel. With original glass either viles and lead round shot.

Nice guns, everyone! One of my coolest springers is the same .25 Webley MK II Service Rifle pictured on the front cover of New Zealand Airgun, Volume 1 Number 1, from February 1986, with matching serial numbers on the barrel and action.

Man.... just "liking" some of these is plainly insufficient!

I know...there needs to be an "Extra Order of Magnitude Like" button!

I guess it's this because the fellow who did it is gone: Harlan Howe, gunsmith on Long Island, NY from 1940-70's, specialized in high end Mauser sporters, some Pennsylvania rifles, hi end custom guns in general. This was his personal airgun. It's an early 300SView attachment 493394...

This little stunner is somewhere on the other side of "exquisite." WOW.

I have often wondered why FWB themselves didn't offer a high-end sporter based on the recoilless 150/300/300S; or maybe even better, the lighter recoiling 110 action. We think of target rifles as "low-powered," but of course they are right at the German legal limit.

Coolest ....being novel and eye candy?
My HW55DST.

Love these "special" springer threads so here is another "cool" one for the AGN community to enjoy!
Theoben SLR 88 Field Target .177.

 

[Kragman1]

I just hammered the Like button, like, 17 times or so....

Wow! COOOOOOOL.....!!!

 

[jps2486]

My Beeman R7 with a Corcoran walnut stock. It's a great shooter.

 

[Bear-of-Grayling]

HW95 Tyrolean, lefty, with the original Weihrauch Diopter in 22 caliber.

 

[jccams]

Love my HW98 .20 in a CS700 stock.

But this D75 is moving up fast.

Thanks Mike. Means a lot coming from you.

Yup that's for sure, and I'm still waiting for the TyROL Tournier 53 to show?
