Theoben Process of Elimination

[kingfisher61]

It was Eliminator day on the range today. Part of my shooting rotation to keep all my guns in good running order.
From left to right:
.25 Eliminator with fat boy moderator.
.22 Eliminator in laminate stock with slim moderator.
.22 Eliminator with fat boy moderator.
22 Eliminator short barrel version with Thumbhole stock and slim moderator.

All these rifles are set at 75% power. I find it is easier to cock them and the recoil is light. Plus it's less wear on the piston head and the overall rifles themselves.
Elimination....one has to go do to space needs in the safe. Which 3 would you keep???

 

[Moog]

That's a tough one to decide. They all look like great rifles.
I would keep all four and just stick one in a gun case.

 

[Bedrock Bob]

I'd keep the 3 wood stocked rifles and give that green rascal to me.

 

[853_OKG]

Three .22s and one .25 depending on how much .25 ammo you have, it might be easier to just keep the .22s.

 

[Wadcutter]

You can't eliminate the thumbholer so soon; plus, who you kidding, you're not seriously getting rid of any of those sweethearts.

 

[xsarfc9x]

Id keep the Walnut ones.

 

[mj102]

Buy another nice oak case for your office John . Keep them all but I’m sure you have more incoming beauties.

 

[Avator]

If one HAD to go I would do the enie menie minie mo thing..

 

[Simplemann]

Nice!! I'm guessing you like The Eliminator

 

[Gerry52]

Nice furniture!

 

[coastal drifter]

Definitely the thumb hole and personally I like the solid wood stocks.

This ^ But if you have to get rid of one, dump the laminate one - very cool, but not in the same league as the other ones.
So is this Theoben-branded Eliminators only? I know of at least one Crow Magnum that you used to have (that I should have kept!)

Also, who makes the slim moderators? Or were those the factory mods/muzzle brakes?

 

[Teep]

Send them to me so I can fondle them for a while and then I can tell you.

 

[KWK]

OK, you asked. I'd keep the 3rd stock from the left and put it on the action from the 2nd from the left. Everything else would go. But I've never sold any of my Theobens, so....... I like the wood on the thumbhole but they don't fit my hands. The grip is too small. Not into laminates, Or big honkin' barrel attachments.
That's the rig I would choose. IF it's a .22 or maybe a .25

 

[Bedrock Bob]

All of them are great but the rifle on the far left is beautiful. The stock is head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[Motorhead]

L to R = 2-3-4

 

[scottblair]

Those are all beyond beautiful John!! But agree with some others here. Not into lamys, and agree with Beeman22,,, "not in the same league"

Slim mods were usually on early models, but you could order the fat boy moderator.
Your old CM found a new home long ago with a great friend who loves it.

She's actually more of a gray blue. Pictures came out weird.
