    The Titan's are greatly understimated rifles, IMHO. Particularly if you let John Bowkett loose on one - as he designed them and loves working on them. I'm using 2 of mine this weekend - both MPTs and they're great little rifles. Well, almost pistols really!

    But squirrels certainly don't complain after a 18ft/lb Accupel in the brain box. (Yes, one is FAC)

    Your walnut stock is superb!

    Get the rifle to Bowkett, if you can, for a 'tuning'/'blueprinting' - it's worth it.

    Beautiful stock on that Manitou, Dave. Nice find

    It looks as new, was it from a shop or a private seller?

    Thanks for comments Duncs & Glyn;
    I just typed a long reply to your question Glyn, & then shut the page by accident
    As it is so bloody hot, I will just say that I bought all 3 guns from this guy, & will write him a glowing testimonial (again) when it cools down later

    Thanks for that Dave, he's certainly got some interesting stuff on his website.

    I think it's better if I don't spend too much time looking though, could easily end up gun rich and cash poor

    I am green with ENVY!!
    One of the nicest Thumbhole Target Manitou's I have ever seen, definately send it to John Bokett for blueprinting as the man is pure majic on his Titans.

    Will answer your PM via email later.

    Super nice score on that one Dave.....wish it were mine.

    Question French power limit?

    Do you need to get them detuned to 7.5 Joules for France?

    I wouldn't like to see these end up in a customs auction!!

    That Titan is superb. Looks like you've had a good trip to the UK.

    ATB, Ian

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm rather pleased with my purchases
    Thanks for the email Tom, I'll reply later.
    No problem with the limit Ian as I have a French shooters licence.
