    I have three more rifles I definitely want in my collection, a mint mk1 or mk2 rapid, Steyr hunting scout 5 (Auto)......But as a couple of people have already suggested the one at the top of the list is an ISP Spartan with the works (engraved scroll work, colour case hardening, high grade walnut etc. )

    Having spoken to Shaun I think the latter will be in the region of 3k, so I have some saving to do!

    I'd love an SLR; doesn't matter which one, 88, 98 or L1A1.

    Too many to list, but deffo a theoben euro 90, a proper venom hw80, a rapid, a tx200sr, a logun axsor, an SLR 98, a vintage BSA under lever......etc. In fairness this list varies hour to hour depending on my frame of mind. Although I can say having tried one now the BSA goldstar (olden days underlever kind) is unlikely to find its way back onto the list

Amazing little gun. Only problem is the wondering how many men this thing may have killed. Once handled a 1941 MP40 and the same thought came mind. It was worse knowing it was used against the Allies.
    Don't worry it probably hurt no-one. In Afgan and Iraq apparently 250,000 rounds fired for every one that was effective. Second World war 50,000 I think. I just love the design of that little rifle, a bit restricted by the round ,but heh, 200 yds is a long way.

    Surely the Vader Crimes Reduction Act makes it only legal for Registered Toy Dealers to sell these dangerous items?

    I've already got a lot of the rifles I've hankered after but I still want a Airsporter RB2 Stutzen (I know where I can get one but my money is being spent elsewhere at the moment) for the collection, also the Diana 34 120th anniversary edition is still eluding me and maybe a walnut stocked Webley Tracker and a Venom Sidewinder compact and just to top it all off a RWS Excalibre carbine and that would be about it (but I'm sure there will be other's I've forgotten about).

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

    You must be correct...

    Obviously removed from sale to prevent such a crime

    The Eagle has landed!

    The package arrived at headquarters today and Grant took some time out to take loads of pics to send to me. Bastard! Sticky finger marks all over my fiiiine gun!

    There's some scratches to the wood, but that's easily fixed. He hasn't fired it as I didn't tell him how to gas, load and fire it. Mainly cos I aint got a clue!!

    I can't wait for October!

    Any reason you would go for the RWS Excalibre in carbine rather than full length? Apart from obviously being shorter

    I prefer the looks of the carbine but either length looks beautiful in that stock, same goes for the Rapier.
