YO JOE! I have a 470TH in .22 also. Love her, those Germans know what they are doing! I am a big fan of under leaver vs break barrels. Just not fond of the brake barrel action. I also wanted to experience a piston gun, so I bought a Hatsan Proxima in .177. The walnut stock is really pretty nice, but the overall fit and finish is a bit shy of the German standard. But its a great shooter, my fur targets are all underground sleeping right now. I am getting anxious for them to wake up so I can see what the Proxima can do out in the field. For those who are reading this and cant afford a higher end rifle, a great choice for an underlever is Flying Dragons XS46U. I had one, loved it but wanted to experience a German gun. Sold it to help raise funds for my 470TH. Still am sorry I had to do that. It does not have the raw power of the Magnum spring 470TH, but it shot fantastically. Pellet on pellet at 40-50 yards. Someday I hope to add an English gun to my stable also. That's going to be a few years out. I have a question for you Joe, what is that "sock" you have around the stock of your 470TH?
Joe, very nice stable of underlevers you have accumulated! The Minnelli stock on your AAPS .22 is gorgeous! The best part...they shoot as good as they look . Enjoy each and everyone of them!
Joe....your rifles are Exquisitely NICE ! Wow !Best Wishes - Tom
nice rifles and groups ..CFX and TX200HC are the only underlevers i own. both shoot well, and would do better IF i shot them more. LoL
Very nice Joe, no wonder they are your top four! The wood on the Air Arms Pro-Sport .22 is breathtaking!
Nice stable!! I passed on a PS in walnut with an Elite 4200 scope on it and have been kicking myself ever since. I think you may be ready for an HW77, my personal favorite.

I have a question for you Joe, what is that "sock" you have around the stock of your 470TH?I have the Hatsan 155 Torpedo and the Hatsan 150 Sniper both in .22. They are very similar to the Proxima without the multi-shot capability. I like my Hatsans and although packed with power, they’re not the most refined underlevers. My Hatsans operate like old farm tractors, where as the Air Arms and Dianas are like luxury cars in comparison. Don’t get me wrong I can shoot the heck out of those Hatsans very well, but they’re not my preference.
Extremely nice "stable" you got there. If we considered what you have to be horses, they'd be Cashvan Arabians and Lippanzers.LOL, my only underlever is more like a disgruntled donkey hybrid- a B-3.

A clunky crunchy 10# trigger LASER. The dovetailed were milled off-center but DANG it could shoot great with irons. B-3 #2 eventually found new life as a tomahawk for about 4 throws. Despite a much better 7-ish pound trigger and perfect dovetails, no amount of barrel prep could help the accuracy. Tried a total of 29 different pellets... normally I'd blame myself but that gun was a stinker.This B-3 was a freebie from a friend, and is working pretty darn good. Plenty good for a 19-yard squirrel, at least. And by the way: those are some very nice groups. Some time, way down the road, I've love to add a Pro-Sport to the collection. Just a really sharp looking underlever.
