Diana 98k.
Hits whatever I aim at, first time, no matter how long it's been since I shot it last.

Up till a few weeks ago it was my old 220 .22 compact, that has had k’s of pellets through it and has proven deadly, but now I’m enjoying the new 220 .177 and have been using that most of the time and is now top dog at the farm
For now

Hi lads my hw 80 mk1 is my go to rat springer vary good gun for rating I love my 80 it’s the only springer I own had it years vary faithful gun 
Ive Had My early Feinwerkbau !27 Sport 50 years , its no cabinet queen its roughish but as accurate as it ever was. PS whats a FWB 150 is that a .20 by any chance?.
Although not a springer Mine is no longer a rifle, my quick go to is now my crossman 1377, lightly modded ie steel breech, added shoulder stock, replaced the dodgy roll pin replaced the grips / pump handle( I think I brought them off this site from someone who made them, and sat a red dot site on it, very accurate garden plinker and rat gun ( not seen a rat in the garden in years 
, probably because I no longer keep chickens, although not in .22 if the shot placement is right the accuracy of these pistols is truly amazing imho, just to add i hunted with both calibre's, and found the 177 Diana 52, took down pheasants and hares with no problem in excess of 40 yards, it's never had the knockdown power of .22 but I will take the added distance over that. I no longer hunt so back garden plinking it is for me nowadays
If not the crossman then I'd use the old Webley Vulcan in .22 which sometimes sits by the back door

Oh how much I hankered after a fwb sport, back in the day
, eventually buying an original 45, but still think the fwb is the one that got away .Whitevanman

HW35 .22.
It varies for me, sometimes my HW97, sometimes my Pro Sport, sometimes my FWB300su, and now I have my TX200 clone (Bam40) too, so variety is the spice of life as they say....

Mine would be the HW99, after all it is the easiest to pick up 
but after dark it has to be the 97.
HW99S, .22 with Vortek kit. Leupold Freedom 1.5-4x20 duplex.
HW97KTS, .22 Tinbum short stroke kit. Pulsar Argus 4x60 Gen 2+ IIT with LRF.

My go-to Springer, that's not difficult for me, I've only got one springer left.
HW99
Glided piston, WW Dagda spring, custom guides, Britseal

Only just got into the 99. What a great thing it is after a bit of tender love and care from out the box
