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.
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

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.
What a silly Billy!
WANTED: Next weeks winning lottery numbers :-)
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.
The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?

My skan superior mk2. Just loved the look of that rifle. I regret selling both my skans to be honest
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.
God rest ye jelly mental men

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.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.....
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.
We live and learn .
