Air arms pro sport

Hello all, been a good while since I was on here last, so I recently bought a 2nd hand pro sport in .177 from the air gun centre. It should be at my door this Saturday coming fingers crossed. I've had many rifles over the years, tx 200 97k hw 80 and the tx 200 sr that I sold as a 19 year old stupidly for funds for a holiday. Only to learn many years later how silly that was. I've never owned a pro sport though, just wondering if anyone got some hints and tips for this rifle, maybe certain upgrades, custom stocks? I seen someone on youtube with a pro sport that had a fluted barrel, looked stunning in my eyes. So yeah any hints and tips would be great and much appreciated. Thanks for your time

If you say what you're going to be using it for it may help people give you advice. Don't see many on the hft comp scene. The position of the under lever means fitting a palm rest is problematic. Don't shoot springers myself so I'll let others who do chip in.

Looking at doing hft and bench rest, I'll be honest I have no idea about bench rest or hft, can I just use sandbags? See not a clue haha 😆 also do I really need a palm rest? Why can't I shoot hft without one? But yeah hft and bench rest competitions I'd like to get into. I don't like pcp rifles so I'll stay with springers.

A hamster (not a palm rest that goes  on the underside of the pistol grip )  fitted to the underside of an air gun is useful  for hft but far from necessary . Hft is a great sport and you can shoot with what every you fancy (within the rules )  take your prosport  and enjoy your self .

Always nice to beat guys with all the kit, with your simple springer .

You can fit a "hamster" to the cocking lever of a Prosport which gets around the problem but it might not stop people calling it a palm rest.

As Ultrastu says you don't need to, indeed you can shoot anything you like as long as it's sub 12ftlbs, there's a guy on the circuit shooting open sights!

Be warned, it's addictive.

I'm led to believe the shot cycle can be a bit harsh in .177, it's a rifle I've always liked but will probably never own, I'd just be using it in the garden so no real need.

Do plenty of pellet testing as they'll make a big difference to how the gun shoots.

Great gun but I found the poi changed so much when shooting standing kneeling and prone that it was a lot of work to compete in hft.did beat two guys half way around a hft course with one though.great gun and very accurate but hold senseative.heavy for hft too .as for bench rest no sand bags just a flat rest.cocking the prosport when prone is a pain as well.
