Gents,

I was in a local dealers today and saw on the rack an unusual looking air rifle. The tag stated 'Sterling HR81 .22 calibre' and it's in on private sale for another customer. The RFD didn't know too much about it, other than he'd not had one through the door before!

I was intrigued that it had an underlever but also a bolt action loading system so I've done a google search but even that doesn't provide much info, other than to say who made them and when.

Condition wise it's not bad. It's scoped up but as the open sights. It's in what I assume to be a Beech stock (decent condition) and the bluing whilst not pristine isn't bad; no rust etc. Price on the tag was £320....

So, has/does anyone here own one? What do they shoot like and, other than the rarity, are they actually worth that sort of money?
