    I reckon some Rasbperry Ripple sauce on the trigger would improve it immensely, Phil.



    Or one of Nick's hammers?

    I don't remember ever trying one. Which isn't always a good thing.

    Once I thought I'd never owned a .20 cal, until by chance I found the sales receipt for a .20 Fenman that I must have bought.

    Anyway, I trust Tinbum, and I think he said the 99S should be the best springer ever - but it just isn't.

    What do you think?



    Get a 30s instead if you don't already have one!

    ..Unless it's a proper 99, then I'll lick and snaffle (I'm waiting for a comment from Elaine now)

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I think the first digit on the gun's naming might be upside down, Pete.

    And particularly this one.. once you have looked at everything you could possibly want to know about 99... I liked the bit right at the end
