    Allegedly 50, but I have only seen one for sale in last 5 years and know how of two others, in comparison have seen 5/6 Ft's for sale.

    Theoben Dual Magnum

    I had a Theoben Dual Magnum, bugger to master due to the recoil (36 ft/lbs) but with practice I became very accurate with it. Got offered a large some of money from a collector in Greece so let it go. Went straight out and bought an FAC S10, a new 50 inch flat screen TV, a night out at Brighton Casino and a case of whiskey. The rest I just squandered.

    I looked for quite a while for a Dual Magnum when they first came out although probably the Eliminator is a better rifle for actual use. As you live fairly close to me I'm sorry I didn't know about your sale. Theoben only made one batch (50 rifles) apparently so they would be pretty collectable but restricted by the fact they are FAC rated.
    I've never even shot one but had my name down for a new one but they were discontinued before it came to my turn. Now I don't even have a spare .22 slot so I'd have a problem even if I got offered one.

    I've always fancied an Eliminator. Imagine how expensive they would be if the legal limit were tripled! We'd all have one!

    Edit to add: great to see you're still posting Rapidnick!

    Very cool, Mr. Airgunwerks! Curious to know how you like the RM100? Not many around.

    Only had one issue with mine when it would not cock for the second power (36 foot pound) setting. Sent it back to Theoben who sorted it.
