....... that if I bought an FAC Theoben SLR98 .177, it would likely:

1) Be as accurate if not more so than my HW77k,

2) Feature improved engineering and finish over the Weihrauch

3) Be a slightly better hunting rifle with the multi shot capability and stay-cocked ability,

4) Have a poorer-quality trigger characteristic than the HW,

????

I would have to sell the 77 to afford it. How long will it take me to realise my mistake, or never look back? I had an Evolution that I could not get accustomed to, but even folk at Theoben say the SLR is in another leaugue.... So hard to know. Your comments appreciated.
