    I knew a guy who had a Normay Vixen and he always promised to sell it to me when he packed in shooting but alas he died and another member of his family got it, he did tell me though that the Bimoco Viper was the best pellet he ever used in it. The Viper was relaunched by John Rothery as the Bisley Bullet.

    I have a HW35 'Hofmann Premier' (Stamped on breech block with Made in Germany) in .22cal. It has a carbine length barrel 1/2 inch unf screw cut for a silencer with a beautiful Walnut stock (Also looks to be 100% ex factory original). The whole thing, I believe , is 100% original. The barrel has a stainless look/plated coating. It's an early version with the leather piston head etc .Not Hull Cart.No serial number.
    Do not wish to hijack the 'Vixen' thread ....but, does anybody have any info on this rifle....I can't find any reference to it.
    Cheers

    Have a similar Hoffman Premier 35L here in .177 circa '82 I believe- but yours sounds a bit different to say the least

    Hope you have some luck tracking down more info on your rifle.

    What calibre is the BSF155?

    Don't waste your money on the inferior BSF155, Cloggy. I have the one and only BSF 165 ever made, right here.

    In much the same way as prototype cars being road tested are disguised to fool the motoring press, the BSF 165 was cunningly disguised (to throw Airgun World hacks off the scent) as... ...a Relum Tornado. They did a damn good job - the rifle is indistinguishable from the Tornado.

    In fact, most people would be fooled into thinking that this unique and priceless air rifle was, in fact, a Relum Tornado, but BSFs deception obviously couldn't fool a discerning anorak connoisseur such as yourself.

    £1,500 in used notes +p&p.

    It would be more productive to throw some off a cliff.
