It gets difficult deciding with opinions varying so much, then other tangents getting thrown into the mix.
True HW97/77 are lasers, but they also weigh a ton, i gave up a 95 to get a 77 against others advice here, just cause I like the idea of a under lever. But after getting it, and holding it, I started to see I may have made a mistake, got worse after i put a scope on it. Loved the accuracy though.
I traded it back for another 95.
I did get a 30s not long ago, but sold it cause it was like a children’s toy, LOP was uncomfortable, liked the weight, or the lack of.
I tried all the Turkey springers, gamo, benji, diana is a runner up, but in my humble opinion is, if you want ALL metal with wood construction. Weihrauch kinda stands alone, dont go beeman, they are hit and miss, and have a lot of Chinese builds.
Just my own experience, i touched a lot of oven burners, till i started listening to other members here.
