I have a left handed Deluxe and 2 standards. For shooting the standard is lighter and I think handles better. What you pay for on the 124's is the name FWB and frankly the barrel. They shoot with match grade rifles for the majority of us shooters. Bought my first one in 1979 from Beeman. Did not get the super tune but did get the scope angle. Tuned mine later with Dryslide and Mainspring Dampening compound. My LH 124 is mint. Was rebuilt by ARH and seldom shot. I would be hard pressed to sell it. The two standards one in good condition probably $450, my original but not for sale. Gave it to my brother. And a friends in ruff condition which would bring parts gun prices. $300 I'm just giving values I am not selling anything here. But IMO they are one of the better air rifles made. I have a R10 (HW85) in 20 cal and a Beeman Kodiak (Webley Patriot) in 25 cal and the FWB 124 is just as nice as the Webley bluing and machining wise and better than the R10. They do not shoot up to HV expectations (800 fps) but they cock easy and are very accurate. My 124's had the tendency to bite the piston into the cylinder Gaulding the top part of the piston and the cylinder. Beeman chromed his upgraded pistons for that reason. But they are repairable and if lubed correctly hold up great. The trigger is another gripe that I have heard about and though not perfect if set correctly the trigger is very manageable. IMO they are an heirloom rifle that can be passed down to future generations. Name one made today that has that claim, other than a very few.
