I really like PCPs a lot... but there is some kind of timeless beauty in classic English airguns. Deep blue/black finish, awesome woodwork, and absolutely impeccable look. So when I found this one for sale, it took me all 2 seconds to take a decision, lol!

I think you’ll see a lot of pics in this threat. And it can happen quite soon

Wow, very nice. What cal?

PiterM · Mar 31, 2018

This one in .177. I know .22 is considered even smoother... but is that possible at all? This one is just insanely smooth!

The British do build beautiful guns do they use Minelli stocks?

Osprey1 · Mar 31, 2018

Very nice theoben classic,You gotta love those British airguns just pure airgun class!!!

Crutcherro1 · Mar 31, 2018

She is a beauty. Congratulations! I love my PCPs, but you are correct. There is just something about a high end springer....

beautiful gun beautiful setting, north side of tree?

PiterM · Apr 2, 2018

Northish... but that forest is very damp, so a lot of moss on the trees everywhere.

Anyway, what about one more shot? This time not in the wild:

Nice score!

STxShooter · Apr 2, 2018

Awesome looking rifle!

Beeman22 · Apr 5, 2018

That is one hell of a a sexy-looking gas-ram gun - love the mineral streaking in the stock! Then of course there is the bluing....those Brits do know how to make things look right!

Windmill01 · Apr 5, 2018

Awesome looking air rifle. Have you shot other gas rams and if so how does it compair as far as accuracy and noise?

Accuracy - so far tried JSB Exact 4.52mm and I can group at half inch (supported). Tomorrow (and on Sunday) I'll try H&N FTT 4.52mm which are considered best for that gun. But so far I like it a lot regarding accuracy. It's seems to be a bit more accurate than my SLR .22 was.

Cocking effort is just like most springers, noise is minimal. From bystander's perspective pellet hitting the backstop is more noisy than shot as such. But don't forget it's set at about 12 fpe so that also makes it so quiet and easy to cock. And, of course, my unsupressed SLR was WAY noisier, and with screw-on silencer it was just too long to shoot comfortably.

Gear_Junkie · Apr 6, 2018

Wow, beautiful! Great score man!

DanT55 · Apr 8, 2018

Did you get that local or direct from the UK? Hard to find in that condition! Gas ram? Enjoy.

Regards,

DT

Locally. I know it’s a great find
