    1991 or 1992 Sirocco HE.

    I like the build quality. The stock shape/fit is indifferent (though not bad by early 90s/late 80s standards). The trigger is average and creepy. The cocking effort is a bit high. The shot cycle is fast and snappy and not very pleasant.

    But the thing is really good at hitting stuff.

    until recently I had:

    taunus in 22
    olympus in 22
    fenman in 22

    and fenman in 20

    taunus/olympus/fenman are essentially the same gun just different stock and barrel length

    Had many over the years, now down to two: SLR88 and a Fenman.
    Theobens are a worthy manufacturer to collect. Beautiful Rifles.

    I have a Countryman carbine That I fitted a spring in to make it work

    I had Two Classics for a long time 177 and 22 ( pre HE ) and a brand new thumbhole evo for two weeks cos I hated everything about it

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Got a Fenman HE in late ambi stock.
    Owned a Sirocco which was pre HE and was smoother to fire...
