I agree - an excellent review and a superb rifle, especially in SK configuration. I liked mine so much, I bought another HW100, a full-length sporter this time. Both rifles were supplied with loose barrels but this was soon remedied. Not sure why they don't secure them properly before despatching the guns. Quality of stock woodwork varies greatly: the first rifle had a very light-coloured stock with minimal graining whilst the second had darker wood, well figured. I've seen another on display at a third gunshop with near exhibition grade walnut on it. Despite this, even the woodwork on the first one was significantly better than the stuff they're putting on Theobens these days.
