    I thought it was just the Venom BSF Bavaria.

    I really wanted one of those in 1980-something.

    I live approx 10 min walk from what was trap shot of lye it is now a convince store, not convenient for me I have to travel to merry hill (DAI) to buy pellets now😩
    Unfortunately even with my close proximity to the venom home I still don't own one and probably never will

    The one on my 80 is a Custom Stocks item. I'd always been told it was a Vantage, but it looks exactly like the Lazahunter Custom in that advert. The Goldstar is in a standard BSA stock.

    I used to borrow my mates HW80 hunter on occasions and I was well jealous as it was fabulous to use and looked so darn good. Better than my well used 80 of the time.
    Despite not using it he wouldn't sell it to me So I'll go with the above as the best!!!!!!
    John Darling JD (1946-2004) was my inspiration to be the best i can and enjoy the sport i love. R.I.P
    A dedicated HW80 Fanatic and owner since 1986 to present.

    Done.

    Did they actually make an Xocet Varminter? I like Xocets, and Varminters, but I can’t imagine who would have ordered one in preference to the HW, Longbow, Tomahawk (etc) based Venoms.
