Oh you kept that quiet.
Airsporter, a classic for sure as was the meteor and super meteor. My oldest air rifle is a relum taurus circa 70 ish a truly horrible thing sold with the tag line of double concentric springs, yeah right they really worked good, not.

The Airsporter is one of those guns that doesn't shoot particularly well, isn't easy to strip or tune and the muzzle can't be threaded for a silencer without shortening the barrel first but it just looks right next to an old fireplace.
Hey Les here is your No 1 !
Can't help but think the guy has messed up fitting the adjustable stock which surely is not standard ? Well it isn't unless Browning have been hitched up with Perazzi
for a while, still a nice gun but not original so I'm out!

Theoben sirocco was the air rifle of the day when I was young, they pioneered the gas strut I believe. Fantastic bits of kit, never owned one though.
I had a Theoben SLR 0.22 under lever with six shot mag and a FAC Rapid 12 great guns my brother had the fenman which had a shorter break barrel and several Rapids as well as a couple of Daystates which are really good too the groups you can shoot with the PCP guns is amazing!

Dad had one of those which he used in the garden to shoot grey squirrels. He said it was the most powerful he could get without getting an FAC air rifle. I've had a few shots with it and it is still fearsomely accurate.
Yes great guns, the company is no more I believe but their technology lives on in some Weihrauch in modified form. No spring to wear out meaning it can be left cocked for hunting makes huge sense.

My favourite that I owned was a weihrauch HW77K under lever that I bought from Joe Wheaters shop in Lincoln. Brilliant piece of kit, should never have sold it. Very heavy though.
Quite possibly the most accurate off the shelf gun ever but I always found them nose heavy, a sorted Venom special is something to behold though.

Ooh yes, that name rings a bell, always out my price bracket though. The daystates mentioned a few posts ago were the forerunners of the pre charged market. Very common for getting them above 12flbs without an fac with a bit of tweaking (but obviously that never happened)
Shadow Indy with the motorway rib. I had one many moons ago bored out to I/c & 1/4. Won so much with it but as so often happens in the quest for something better I sold it on. Oh how I wish I had kept it They still come up for sale every now and again.

Nice man, haven't seen him for a number of years I'll ask round as the locals will know him and the gun as it is quite distinctive.
Thanks for that I'm all misty eyed now. Still think its a cracking looking gun and fairly innovative for its time.Rottweil Paragon, lusted after one and never got to see one in the flesh.
chicken curry no worry
John, as you know,I have a sort of ST150 fetish and I envy you for actually having shot one!Hey Les here is your No 1 !
