N/A What’s the most beautiful airgun you’ve owned?

Tough call but this .40cal is certainly one of them.

Early 300S Match, Beeman collection, ? special order: earlier front sight, no sleeve, nice stock figure, earlier rear sight, about unfired?View attachment 579543
Gorgeous! I have a nice 1982 production 300SL, no barrel weight, but the front sight is different and also pinned at the bottom. The front sight on yours is identical to a Junior, so my first thought was a Junior action in a match stock, but then... the barrel looks full length.
 
Another favorite of mine is the vintage Webley Mk 3, a classic tap-loading underlever.

Webley was a VERY conservative bunch in those days - no doubt making a "pretty" rifle was about the last thing on their mind! It has no tricky lines or fancy features - not even checkering or a buttplate on this target model! - but there's something about its subtle stock curves, beautifully finished old-skool steel construction, and mostly exposed action that gives it a a elegant, sinewy, athletic sort of look.

It handles beautifully too - a fun rifle to shoot.

I also don't mind the awesome Parker-Hale sights, lol...
