The 130 is not a rifle you should be considering, It is a rifle for an experienced shooter.
Sig Sauer ASP20 .177

I think the English made Webley are collectable. Not the Turkish. I could be wrong though.
There are 3 top springers around. Weihrauch, Air Arms and Walther lgv/lgu.
These top springers tend to only come in .22 and .177, although I've seen an HW97 in .20. The power of these tend not to go over 15 - 20 ft/lb, but are lovely and good hunters at 12 ft/lb.
If you want collectable, buy quality engineering that will last, and those that know will know and they will hold value.

Walther is a new one to me. Didn't know they made air rifles. Friggen awsome I'll off to Web them up. Learn a bit, see if like what I see and ponder the possibility.
Cheers
(with that little burst of excitement I suddenly realised I've formed an addiction, oh well could be worse ones)

Unfortunately you'll probably only find these at Youngs airguns, or Airguns NZ.
In my decade of airgun addiction I have an HW97, HW97 and an AA Tx200.
The engineering on these is solid, and they are very easy to work on for tuning or maintenance.

You can import from Krale in Holland. It actually works out slightly cheaper too. No permit needed, but just a bit of paperwork.

Just a quick search and wow!
Walther arn't mucking around. Cheers for that Pauly, I can't believe I haven't been aware of them.
A lot more investigation required.
Any one owned or shot one? Pistol rifle, springer, pcp, gas I'd be keen to hear what the verdic was both build and proformance.
A review of one would be great.
See they make pellets too.

They are lovely to shoot. Such a refined minimal recoil. Solid and not lightweight, but very nice.
