Theoben Theoben Eliminators/Beeman Crow Magnum

I wouldn't pay 1500 for one. They're not rare. A walnut stock version goes for less auctioned. I would prefer an earlier one (if I wanted one) with what's referred to as a Webley Omega trigger. Funny thing is it doesn't resemble an Omega trigger. Maybe because some early Countryman and Siroccos had some Webley parts? And BSA. A lot of the Theoben parts were sourced or manufactured outside to Theoben spec. Even the rams were manufactured outside. And we all know who made the stocks and barrels. Venom Executive brake.
Before Weihrach struck the HW90 deal Theoben offered it to BSA to "keep it in the family". BSA declined. Probably a good thing, I suppose for HW90 lovers.

If I didn't have an Elinimator or an Evolution or a Sirocco I would have bought one of each...There were/are some nice Theobens offered there. Bargain basement priced/availability of Theoben examples aren't easy to find...Thanks to AGN members such as yourself letting everyone know they are listed may help someone find their dream gun. Years ago a member mentioned on the open forum that there was a Theoben SLR98 on "Guns America" for sale...That ad is still there as "SOLD" ...to me...still have that example

I'm not sure of the production numbers, but the Eliminators are only more common here in the states because they were a high powered gun and most were FAC. They usually fetch more today than Siroccos or Crusaders in their homeland. There isn't a dog in the bunch. All are welcomed by me. My favorite to shoot is the Crusader, followed by the SLR.
