theoben air rifle

Should be at the price mate.
But had a close look at one and what a bit of kit.
I remember when a venom tuned 77 was the dogs.
But that was the 80s.
Soloman.

Having had a dozen or so prechargeds, i would still say a venomed 77 is the dogs. I love my springers these days. For me they are more fun to shoot. I prefer the life in the shot over the dead feeling of pcps.

My next rifle. the one i have always wanted will be a AA pro sport.

Feinwerkbau 124 Sport are good rifles too. my m8s father in law has one.

Was the fwb sport the one with the strange muzzle weight.
If so i had one,best breaker ive ever shot.

Soloman.

The Mark 3 FWB Sport had the "odd" muzzle brake, the earlier versions did not. Mine is a Mark 2, which had a slightly cheaper stock IIRC. I often shoot my Sport alongside my TX200 and s400, it will still give them both a good run for their money. If only the trigger was a bit nicer!

Ive had quite a few guns over the years and the venom 77 and the sport are the only ones i wish id kept hold of,them and a sharps innova.

Its funny really, you never fully apprieciate how much you can like a certain rifle until it is gone. Its all those shiny new ones that makes you want them. Then you miss the old one. Damn them vicious circles.

I miss my Webley tracker Had it at about 14 and put an "Ox" spring in it, if only I knew what I do now! My brothers gaffer has still got it but won't let me have it back!

The webley was the quite short one wasnt it,very handy as i remember.

Was that the one with the side lever? Loved mine when I had it. Traded it in for Theoben, IIRC Countryman Carbine. Cracking pieces of kit.

Yeah it's the carbine version of the Viscount. Side lever, tap load and square-ish stock, proper bit of kit
