    The Swamp Donkey Loses Her Crown!

    I never saw an uglier air-rifle than the Relum Tornado until today.

    The Ugliest Production Air-Rifle In History, this is the King of the Monster Moon-calfs. Imagine having the limitless possibilities of plastic and producing a stock like that? Astonishing. 10/10 Fugliness.

    Your picture links need fixing, Alistair

    I think those hideous Shin Sung 'Career' monstrosities were more ugly than the Relum anyhow

    Yes but the Career makes up for it by their capacity to shoot through a metal dustbin at 60 paces! A fat, lever-action automatic shotgun concealing a powerful PCP is a strange design but I suppose it is instantly recogniseable...

    Yup, links not working, but I have to protest at the description of a Relum as 'ugly'. Post-modern retro perhaps, but ugly?????

    Put a Relum Tornado next to a BSA Mercury

    o yes i like it ,i reckon a couple of hours in my workshop of horrors and i could make something of this ,some may remember my "precious" and
    the haenel carbine! or the paratrooper tactical .my tornado looks something else sporting a mahogany stained stock and reblued action which i suppose is just as well.

    I actually think that the bulbous stocked Relum is quite a good looking gun in "real life". They always look really ugly in pics but when I saw one up close I was quite taken by it.

    Is it an HW100?

    Edit: just seen this rifle in the ID thread. So I'm not the first to think its winerackish?

    I agree with air-tech that ventilated rib on the barrel would be great for... keeping the line of sight... cool

    The Relum may not be up to much, but it's a vision of beauty when put next to anything made by Daystate.

    That Wildlife thing though, eeeuugh. Still, nicer than a Black Fox.

    Looks to me as if Karcher may have made it.
