That looks eerily like this rifle.

I am aware. The fact is two years ago the world shooting community got to see the Thomas rifles debut in Australia for the Rimfire and Air Gun Benchrest Worlds.. Not a bad replica going by pictures alone.

WHOAH !
"Hundreds" ??? - That's impressive !

...would have thought in 2 years and at current sticker prices he would well have made below 50 in total ; genuinely I have no idea how many have been made , but It's not like we see them in pictures and Google search all over the place...In fact , I myself am hankering after one of Mike's creations...

Anyone know what is the LATEST Thomas Air serial number ?

He's been making them for four years, and his current yearly cap is 60 guns. Which leads me to believe he was making more than that for a couple years. I responded in another thread about it. For the price of a new steyr then stock and other upgrades it's close to if not a bit less in cost.
