    Yep, it'd certainly start with "HW" and the numbers 3, 5, 7, 8 and 0 are nice numbers, too!

    OOH! now you're just teasing.

    In all honesty I really do think you'd have a problem trying to choose.

    If I didn't have the Prosport then I'd have a hell of time trying to choose out of my BSA's.

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

    Absolutely, that would be the big issue, Pete, as I love them all for different reasons and everyone's a keeper.

    The only Boinger that I'd consider ever selling would be the Vipermax because of the pants trigger. But then I can still shoot half decent groups with it, although you really have to work at it. And then I think, "Well, it was a freebie, it's light and the plastic stock means it'll always make a good close quarters ratter / barn gun".

    At the April Bash, after shooting a nicely tuned Hatsan 60S (Quattro trigger), I had some nasty, silly notion of selling the Slavia 634. But, since then, and after smacking myself around the mush with a wet haddock a few times, I realise that the CZ really is a keeper. Quality barrel, manual barrel lock, lightweight 25mm piston, synthetic rear piston bearing, RIDICULOUSLY easy to strip, shooting at high 11s and with a wonderful firing cycle after fitting one of the Tinster's kits. I'd be mad to sell it.

    I reckon you'd end up with "that Vantage job" Tone ?
