I still have my FWB 124D in primo shape, recently rebuilt and tuned, but the Feinwerkbau 124 Deluxe would be my pick. Accurate, reasonably fast, and a beauty. The walnut stock would be extra nice.

I have the D34 Meisterschutze and its one of my best guns. A bit snappy but it stacks emThe plain old Diana 34 with the TO6 trigger....It was the perfect balance between cost and quality and easily tuned to some thing wonderful...

OP ,you did mean new production , right ?
I'm not one for leaving the pretty toys in the safe either. They were meant to be enjoyed so I do. Just extra carefullyI love shooting my classic guns and no they are not safe queens. same as (If )i had a 1936 rolls royce i would drive it to lowe's / walmart i would drive it most places .
you don't shoot it ?I hadn't hear that but it certainly is a very interesting possibility if true. I've owned several Theoben airguns over the years and I marvel at their quality. I only have one now. An SLR98 in pristine condition. .177 carbine with Hyedua stock. Knocks my socks off every time I take it out and admire it.

He had assembled all of the Airgun World Theoben articles. All catalogued. So much of the Theoben history as it unfurled. I had it bookmarked but the link went dead. I emailed the gentleman several times and never got a reply. I should contact Danny Garvin. He might know something. About it. Those articles were incredible.The 88s were hand made on manual machine tools they were the forerunners of the 98s which used CNC machines for parts...Google "The classic air gun show" English guy named Olly? has a series about various Theobens,View attachment 333849View attachment 333850 highly recommend watching the 98 and 88 shows.
