Heck, I wish I had a SST for my Sumatra and my sentry. One shot one kill!My Proxima and Synergis repeaters are both under levers and better than my Swarm Gen 1 which is now a single shot springer with a GRT trigger now.

No German made Walther springer will get a magazine...Anschutz is more into high end PCP's...Weihrauch is as much as innovative as a Neanderthaler...So the answer is Diana.
Hecter, could you describe the better method for a springer repeater. I have a Gamo Swarm Gen 1 which now is a single shot with a steel spring and GRT trigger.I also have a Hatsan Proxima and a Umaerx Synergis which work pretty much the same way. Also have an old Mendoza RM2800 and RM2000 break barrel repeaters with a tubular mag on top of the receiver similar to my Made in Spain Daisy 130 break barrel repeater. I enjoy shooting all of them.
The Mendozas are an acquired taste. The Daisy works the same just smaller but holds more pellets. I have found the RWS Super Domes work smoothest with the Mendoza system. The Miesters. and Hobby work okay but need a little help on occasion, help being pull back on the spring forwarder and pop the pellet into the chamber but with your finger over the hole so the pellet doesn't go flying out of the front of the chamber. When I cock I put my finger over the hole in the front of the block that pops up to feel the new pellet that is introduced to the chamber, if not there "help it", close the barrel and shoot. I have found a little Pell oil run across the gap between the tube magazine and receiver helps on the Mendozas and the Daisy 130.I have also found loading pellets directly into the barrel single shot fashion loses about 10 fps.
Why not keep it simple, and advance the pellet with a manual bolt- like almost every pcp gun with a magazine? The break barrel or underlever cocking as a separate action? The Proxima had some safeguard that prevented dry-fire, no?A bolt-style with a magazine on a springer would be a must-have for me! I would prefer to load up a magazine and cock-shoot, repeat. Tired of dropping tiny pellets while loading...
Back in the early 90’s I was at a Hockey Sports show for retailers in Montreal (Bonaventure). There was a guy with a table of air guns. Was he out of place. He was getting out of the business but he had break-barrels which was a repeater of 25 shots. Flat head rounds only. Just fill a tube, jack and shoot. I bought 3 of them. They worked flawless. Unfortunately I lost them all in a house fire 2004. I believe the name was Ruko. I’d buy again in a heartbeat, never seen or heard of since. Crow
