    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.

    Have tried numerous times by clicking the "+Join Group", a few days later the "pending" has disappeared.

    Maybe I'm a social networking outcast because I only have 2 friends

    Same with the Theoben gas ram forum on FB

    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.

    If Only?

    I dont own any Theoben guns but I do own one of Daves designed HW90s and have to say it has the sweetest action of any HWs including my beloved HW77K.
    These Theoben guns used a properly designed gas ram unlike the latest offerings using car tailgate type rams,if only they could be put back into production.

    I have always fancied an HW90.

    But they are long, heavy, and bulky.

    So I have always really fancied a Theoben Euro Custom or TB90. But they are hen's teeth.

    Having owned an Eliminator and struggled with it for a year or so (and three different barrels) at near the factory levels before relenting and reducing power in stages until
    I could actually shoot it accurately I can't imagine how hard one of these would have been to shoot with any sort of consistency
