    Tac,

    Thank you, she is a bit special surprises a few folks who shoot her, accurate and a bit different. Think its the only Axtell 77 in the UK.

    Unfortunately the gunsmith who built them is dead and the rifle company folded so just hope nothing breaks

    It lasted as long as the photo, didn't like it either.

    18gr if I remember correctly, not had an outing for a while.
