I much prefer the self-containment aspect of a springer/gas ram.
I’ve had a few HWs – 77, 80, 97, a BSA Lightning XL Tactical and a BSA S10 pcp. It’s unlikely, but if I ever get another, I’d probably go for a Theoben Fenman gas ram. I like a bit of recoil. Shooting pcp is great for accuracy, but it is really boring after a while…
So my opinion would be decent gas ram, or stick with what you have.
