The Most BEAUTIFUL rifle ever made.

ISP Spartan.
I know...I say it on every thread at every opportunity, but I just can't think of a better rifle.
The fact Shaun is such a nice gent to deal with just makes it even better.

Lovely guns and lots of proud owners, but how many are trophies to be admired instead of tools to be used. Do any of these Lovely guns in these images work much better than standard examples, or are they just ego trips for the owners. Having said that, there are many that I would love to own - but they would rarely see the light of day, unless it was a bright sunny day.
 
Great idea for a thread Joey👌
There have been loads of great looking rifles, but for me (this week!) it would have to be the Air Arms Prosport. I have seen this great looking rifle with some unbelievable walnut stocks. Sadly mine has an OK stock but nothing special 😩

That's surprising to hear, they have an almost cult following.

Apart from a barrel that was so long it would'nt look odd on a Sherman, so heavy you'd take a big mate hunting just to help carry it ( by
" big mate " I mean someone BIG not a childhood friend ). The kick back was so bad that if you ever even considered a scope it would need welding on and have titanium crosshairs or they'd end up looking like a popped 60 watt bulb. Also if my memory serves me right the barrels were very prone to distorting, and being so long if you weren't careful you might end up shooting yourself in the arse.

If its well made and well looked after then it makes no difference.

All of my rifles have been used on the field at one point or another.

Secondly, what's wrong with buying something just to enjoy having it?

Each to their own.

It does frustrate me sometimes that it's hit and miss on whether you get a pretty stock or not.
I guess shopping around with patience is the only way.

I've been eyeing up a new tx200 ultimate springer in walnut. Looks stunning, just a shame the cheek riser isn't walnut also.

Funny you say that Joey, when I picked up my Prosport from Pellpax recently, they had the tx200 ultimate springer on display and it looked cracking but I was not keen on the cheek riser on the walnut version, just didn’t look right. They had some lovely rifles on display and I have been well pleased with the Prosport 👌

Yes the Pro Sports are lovely rifles too, can't go wrong with an AA springer.

If I could have the pro sport hidden cocking levers in the tx adjustable cheek stock that would be perfect for me.

As the title suggests:

In your opinion...

What is the most beautiful, best looking air rifle that has ever been produced?

It doesn't have to be a gun you own.

**More pictures the better. :love:

Because of its likeness to a full bore rifle I think the AA Prosport on looks alone
