    The nicest rifle you let go!!!

    Well besides my Mach 1 no.11...there was my HW80K. 177
    Venom lazaglided action, reblued, mach 1 barrel, mach 1 trigger and a HW80 MK1 Factory stock in walnut. Sold by myself via venom in 1989 to a guy across the pond. He received the rifle on the Saturday and won a shoot with it next day. Only have a photo of the above now. Mach 1.5

    Nothing so grand,but I did regret selling it the moment the buyer drove away.

    A .177 Omega that shot around 11.3 with single figure variation over the chronograph.

    Aged 19, I took my boxed pristine BSA Mercury Challenger carbine to a now defunct dealer in Wallington. He offered me £90 which was more than I was expecting and which paid for some post rugby beer and giggles the next 2 weekends.

    My Venom Sidewinder Compact in .177 with gorgeous walnut stock and bead blasted matte metalwork.

    I could hit the club 80 yard spinner 7/10 with that beauty.

    Theoben Fenman Profile in .20 (the first gun ever to hit the Quigly bucket) and a Fenman in the most outstanding Hyedua stock I've ever seen. Reported to have been Dave Theobalds own gun, I sold it cos it was .177!

    I've had many Fenmans, and have a corker of a Profile in .22 now in the nicest Profile stock in existence, but why I got rid of those is still a mystery.

    One of the very first Webley Axsors, walnut stock with fleur de lys checkering.

    So long I might as well have put a bayonet on it.

    That thing shot amazingly well.

    Venom 80

    Not so much owned but didn't buy it was a fully engraved tyrolean stocked HW 80 complete with venom scope and bag.

    Superb stock with brass disc inlayed in stock , action , barrel and silencer all engraved 'lazerglide' in the side of the comp tube.

    Let it go as I wanted a .177 at the time , it was .22 and I thought it was a bit heavy as Well.
