Braces of Bristol "Air Arms Pro Sport Ltd Edition"

[@kevinhowarth1813]

I have a very old Weihrauch 80 springer which I lovingly restored I have a PCP too but for shear fun the 80 always comes first and at 40yrds it groups at 15mm which is fantastic. Don't get me wrong for pest control the pcp in my eyes is king and so quiet but there's something about the old spring powered which I love, keep up the good work Andy I love all the revues that you do.

[@clivelockwood3236]

I have a walnut prosport it is a great gun and doesn't need blinged up, wasted time and money in my humble opinion, good review though as ever.

[@lsduk]

Great review, cheers Sir, it was a very pleasurable task building those.

[@rivit90]

Excellent work buddy

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Well done on making a good gun absolutely Top Drawer ❤

[@matthewcoslett5398]

I just would like to know what you made the air stripper out of as the weight is insane

[@John-FourteenSix]

It really adds to the Weihrauch HW 77/97 debate. The Prosport has IMO, a better feel as it’s significantly lighter at the front end - a good thing unless you’re running off a bench. I love my HW97 Thumbhole, but I’d love one of these as an alternative. This example looks amazing. Thank you for showing this to us.

[@rumpolehaslett9491]

The only issue I have is.... They could have got the silencer to have the same finish as the rest of the metalwork/shroud. Looks a bit odd in that bluish-grey-black against a bronze barrel, but that's just my opinion and I'm sure many wouldn't even notice that.

[@davidpaylor5666]

I agree. For that much money you expect collar and cuffs to match. They should have cerakoted the mod too. And putting the logo on the mod looks cheap too.

[@lesliecompton4061]

with the internals either rock hard or rusted away apart for the aluminum tube --, the question comes what else did they not do apart from a paint job

[@lestersmyth692]

Very nice indeed, I recently offloaded my PCP having become very bored with its ridiculous accuracy no skill required. Invested in a decent spring gun and I’m once more enjoying myself 👍 thanks Andy.

[@GregAnslow]

Me too I have a pro sport 22 and hw97 177, the 510s is gathering dust

[@JG-fv9bv]

Agree , I have a .177 HW95K , topped with an Element Helix and with the Element ballistics app have great fun stretching out past 80 yards

[@gregorwatson731]

I'm going to do the same. I've been enjoying my old Gamo Expo 26 a lot more than my Gamo Coyote. I'm looking to buy a decent springer for some fun.

[@KolyaNickD]

A very beautiful rifle, and best of all British!! I have a feeling not many of these will see use, a collectors item for sure. Maybe they could do an alternative for use with a left/right stock and a slightly lower price. Or is it solely a promotional thing to generate more business?? Either way it's lovely to see British quality. This is where we are good at making good quality low volume products. We have to be be proud of this. Thank you Andy.

[@davidpaylor5666]

The platform it's built on, the AA ProSport, is quite the loveliest air rifle on the market, especially with the walnut sporter stock. They are about £1000 but if I had one of the pimped ones above I'd happily swap it for the production version.

[@jizzmonkey9679]

@@matty1255 not really this is actually more brit made than a standard pro sport, the only non British part of the actual rifle is the barrel, standard pro sport has a foreign made stock as well

The craftsmanship on this rifle is off-the-charts. Amazing piece. Great review as always Andy 👍🏻

[@fliesarenegade]

Good morning friends! Have a splattering weekend!

[@grahamedwards9920]

A great review but I think the changes are mostly cosmetic and the original gun (imho) actually looks better. If I was younger and fitter I’d take the ProSport on as the only Springer you need, it reminds me of the early Airsporters I had in the 60’s +70’s. This “upgrade” of the ProSport is an attempt to improve on something that can’t be improved - just my opinion🤷‍♂️.

[@DriverTuition]

Morning all. Thats a crazy price for a springer but I suppose people are now used to daft prices. Dont get on with underlevers myself, especially in .177, as I struggle loading the things. But that's just me. Looks to be nice and accurate though, but a good old HW80 and a new Diana for less money make more sense to me. :-)

[@stephencope7178]

The position of the underlever on the prosport requires more physical effort. I've become a bit of a wimp, due to age, so it's a PCP for me or the Walther LGU.

[@jizzmonkey9679]

A standard peo sport is £900 so not that ridiculous a price

[@DriverTuition]

@@jizzmonkey9679 I agree the mods are not excessively priced, but the standard gun I feel is too dear for a springer. Just my view though. Value is in the eye of the beholder. Still remember saving for ages, then paying the massive £37 for a new HW35 back in the day:-)

[@jizzmonkey9679]

@@DriverTuition depends if you want a springer thst will last a lifetime or a cheaper one thst will be knackered in a few years, I do personally favour the TX over the pro sport, which is why I have 2 TXs and no pro sport s

[@DriverTuition]

@@jizzmonkey9679 still have the HW35, bought in 1975! Still fires fine, it's good looks have also never changed. Still have an HW45, bought 20yrs ago I think. Works a treat, can still hit cans at 60yds on a good day. Like old friends, we get on! Bought a Diana 34 (?) on AAR recommendation, that's a good gun, seems likely to give good service. Have a Crosman 2260 which is a stunning value gun, cost me £100 and a real treat to fire. Shoots like my Australian Lithgow .22LR. Great bit of kit. All these cost way, way less than this gun in question. But, Always good to have choices and that's what makes life interesting. This is why I find a Porsche 992GT3RS to be an amazing thing, but the 991RS is more interesting in my opinion. Sorry, relating airguns to my pro life :-)

Not sure my prosport needs an extra silencer probably more use as a barrel weight, the stock is nice, but to be fare this is a collectors piece

The Pro Sport in .22 is the rifle that will complete my collection but even here in Canada the standard Pro Sport is upwards of $1,300.00 Canadian!

[@phillkirby]

[@verfugbarkite]

Hang on, doesn’t the pro sport have a built in silencer already?

[@geetee7154]

I don't think it's that expensive, considering a Walnut Pro sport is £939 on the AA website, factor the Weihrauch silencer & the additional work done, yes it's expensive for a springer, what price do you put on exclusivity 😉

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

Its really interesting but the standard gun looks pretty amazing, Ive got a great Walnut example

[@CdEmm50]

😮They've managed to ruin a Prosport, quite an achievement!

[@zx6fighter357]

I have a walnut Prosport and I think this shroud/ silencer is ugly, and the checkering on the standard stock is better. Just my opinion 👍

[@CdEmm50]

The skill that took though, they've managed to ruin a Prosport.😮

[@davidpaylor5666]

I find them impossible to cock but the standard production walnut Pro Sport is the best looking springer in production now. Absolute stunner of a gun. So yes, they've spent five hundred quid to turn perfection into something very average looking. The blueing on AA springers is always superb: why cerakote it?

[@6lr6ak6]

Yr absolutely correct, the standard pro sport is loads better, as you say the minelli stocks are way better than the CS stocks of Sheffield, and the chequerin is much better, and AAs bluing is the best out there so why cover in paint.

[@markgaines2550]

Beautiful rifle and action, I'd change the over large moderator though.

[@vitalhygiene3546]

As always andy brill review. Its a lovely gun but a mark 3 tx 200 with a walnut stock at much much less shoots full power and just as accurate. Its a wall hanger i think. Great review again.

[@nikkihayes5411]

As a former full bore pistol shooter, I found the breech port being on the right made loading very awkward. Eventually I bought an left handed Tx200 and fitted a r\h thumbhole stock so I could load with my left hand...😸👍...still cant hit the side of a barn with a rifle though😾. Nice looking thing🔫👍

[@andybrown8293]

My only gripe is that the last custom stock I bought had as much character as a scaffold plank with a length of pull that required arms like honey monster and from then on I started looking at LP and Craftsman Vit stocks

[@WayneNiles01]

Whats the bet that they sell out within an hour?

[@ctchsds]

They only had three or four left yesterday..

[@drmichaelatkins]

£1500 - you have got to want this limited edition ! That money could buy you a really top rifle.

[@davidpaylor5666]

It is a top rifle, the Pro Sport is arguably the best springer on the market. But I agree, that is too much, the production Pro Sport is far better looking and 2/3 of the price.

If I'm not mistaken, I think he just prefers pcps to springers in general. That doesn't mean he doesn't love this as a Springer.

[@AD270479]

Not a chance would I pay 1.5k for an under lever not even at max power. The only decent thing about it is the cosmetics, but none of it adds to performance. Seen you get similar or better results from a £250 break barrel. Probs only made 10 because they know not many ppl would be daft enough to pay that for it... And they don't even throw in a scope at that price? Not sure why you mentioned 'but it does come with a heavy duty case.' Like that's some compensation for no scope? I'd say at 1.5k, a nice case for it should be expected?

Nice review as always. Everything looks beautifully machined and obviously performs as a Pro Sport should. Sadly not for me. I prefer the almost liquid, deep blueing of the original. A finish I have come to expect from all the Air Arms I own. The stock looks like a revamped version of my Khamsin, not necessarily a bad thing, but reeks of the 80s. Then we get to the assault on my peepers. The moderator and fluted barrel. Why the need for a moderator ? They ruin the classic Pro Sport silhouette. Did the fluting process require a heavy barrel blank, thus getting rid of the shroud ?
