It sort of reminds me of my BSA Lonestar .25. Especially the Schnabel stock. Except mine has checkering on the forearm from the trigger guard almost to the end of the stock, and a cutaway for my thumb above the pistol grip, a slightly more vertical pistol grip, a longer barrel, and a higher comb on the Monte Carlo style stock, but overall a lot of similarity. Definitely has a look that reminds me of a fine European hunting rifle. I bought my Lonestar partly because it was "prettier" than a Marauder, not to mention the superior BSA hammer forged barrel. This FX Tarantula seems to be cut from a similar piece of cloth. That is one very beautiful air rifle.
