On, Canada
Had to go into town and that means, I have to pass AGS. Once I held the pro sport I was like superman and I burned my initials in the barrel. Had to take one home in

. Five shots on both sides 25 yds. Accurate for out of the box.

 35 yards 10° incline. Crony acted up. 

I was concerned about loading this gun with the smaller pellets, and slammed it for years. I didn’t find it that bad at all. Not as easy as the HW 97 but tolerable. This rifle will be a nice addition to the family.

And again I have to thank forum members for swaying me into the 177 Springer. A year ago I had a 34 in .177 which collects dust. Never thought I would buy another. Since Dec. I’ve added a few . 177‘s and I really enjoy them. Crow 
 
...everybody copies everybody: the Falke is a copy of the Airsporter, the Air Arms a copy of the HW77...when you first start to use the Pro Sport make sure you cock the lever all the way down, until you hear a little click/ if not the lever may not return all the way into the stock, gun not fire...don't ask how I know this!....

Very true - few really new ideas in springer design!

The HW 77 of course "borrowed" the telescoping breech idea from earlier match rifles, the first one being the Anschutz 220 introduced in 1959. And I believe there were some some other lesser-known small manufacturers before that who may have "inspired" Anschutz, LOL...

In my opinion Air Arms blew it in the breach, probably copyright situation (LGU same breach) same problem. If the arms reach opened the same as the 77 it would no doubt be a favourite go to of mine.

An absolute gorgeous gun. Love the wood but in my opinion engraving is over done. Eliminate the flowers (lilies) too much. My TX200 has same. I’d rather have graffiti‘s than flowers. Crow
