    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

    Probably, I went on a mad gun buying splurge round about the millennium. Definitely quantity rather than quality, here are some more
