Thread: Air rifle hunting - Break Barrel or Under-lever??

Hello Guys - I've been playing with air rifles a bit lately to improve my off-hand shooting. I've got an accurate HW35 (break barrel with superb trigger) but its pretty low on power and I'm thinking there are a few pesties round here that could do with a hurry-up. Yahoo - new (secondhand probably) rifle to figure out . . .

I've had a nice PCP but got sick of the phaff (pun intended) of keeping air on hand - so I'm gonna stick with a springer. A while ago I got to try @KiwiinSeattle 's RWS M52 side lever. Its a really nice rifle, very accurate and great trigger, very easy to shoot well I found for such a powerful airgun. However for hunting I didn't like the reloading process, it seemed to take a long time with lots of hand movement, and in the dark it was easy to drop pellets in the wrong places.

So - for hunting purposes, whats your springer pick if you were starting from scratch?? Break-barrel, Under-lever or side-lever??
