I have seen quite a few top ten vids as of late and highly disagreed with them, mainly because they were either bias or quite simply wrong ;-) I actual own quite a few of these rifles and shoot with them regularly, I have tried some lower end rifles such as gammo and SMK and did not like them, similarly, I have also tried and tested higher end guns such as the majority of the daystate range, the only reason they have not made my list (and I do stress-"my top 10") is that they are overpriced in comparison to a lot of excellent rifles such as the R10 and HW100. This is also the same reason the EdGun matador did not make my list, despite it being exceptionally good. I have included a fair few springers on this list for a reason, they are exceptional! In particular the Air Arms pro sport and Tx200HC, HW97 and 98 and even the BSA XL tactical (I included this as a budget rifle). I think this list represents the best value for money across the board and every rifle on this list has been tried and tested by me, in fact, I still own the HW100Kt, 97Kt, the BSA R10 MkII, and the AA Prosport, Tx200Hc and the S510 Tc.
