For me it's my Raw and the 3 piece adjustable pellet probe. Machined to fit perfectly. No breech orings to mess with. They always blow out or get destroyed at the wrong time and sometimes a bitch to replace if you have a spare. Let's here yours.
"Necessary"....maybe I will tape a regulator to 1 of my springers later and see if you're right....Good barrel, good regulator and good trigger.
All three things are necessary
IF this was made into the gun like 11MM it would be ok also lower to the bore .Picatinny optics rail.
That’s important to me…the breech on a Thomas is ideal. Easy access for loading and cleaning. JohnEasily accessible breech.
I hate the tiny gap breeches. And I hate when the breech is under the scope in an almost inaccessible location. A typical airgun breech makes loading harder, makes cleaning harder, makes oring replacement harder. Bleh!
USFT and Taipan Veteran are beautifully accessible breeches. Neither are hidden under the scope saddle. Neither are tight gapped little jokes to work with. USFT is full and direct access to the barrel. Veteran is open topped, and both designs are preferable to the average airgun format.
BRK Ghost is somewhat intermediate. It's good that it's not under the scope, and it CAN be single fed, but the magazine gap is a bit tighter than I'd prefer for general access.
It is always a pain to get rings that work on a gun that don't have rails. It really sucks buying rings for a gun that I know will not work on any other gun I own. If they don't have a rail they should at least come up with a standard for mounting rings, instead of having to buy very specific rings for a gun.Picatinny optics rail.
I'll second this but add adjustable cheek piece. It is really nice to have a cheek wield and it being in the perfect spot to look down the scope.Raised cheek piece.
