    Theoben breakbarrels: Top 3 dream list

    If you could have three, UK legal limit sub 12fpe Theoben breakbarrels, which 3 would you want to own and why?

    What about FAC - which models/calibers, and why?

    The Theoben bug bit me good, just added my first Theoben breakbarrel, a .22 Fenman to my stable, and trying to decide what the next will be.

    I only have the one, which is the Sirocco 2000 and to be honest that's all really need but I'll put a list up anyway.

    .177 Sirocco 2000, as it's good looking and very pointable.
    (any calibre) Fenman, I like a nice carbine.
    (any calibre) Evolution Thumbhole stock model.

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

    Fenman 177 running on a spring, know it's not A Pukka fenman but it certainly looks it and shoots very nice.

    All in left hand stocks !
    But the smoothest, accurate and best out in the field was not a break barrel, the SLR 98 .177.
    This and the SLR 88 were the best sub 12 Theoben Rammers I have used !
    Right now my Evolution .177 CS700 L/H with a Bushie Elite 6500 is extremely nice !

    I have a full length evo in .20.

    To that I would add the Fenman in .22 with Hyduea stock and a .22 or .25 Eliminator. I've never shot one but if I could be bothered with an FAC slot I'd like to try one.

    would like a fenman in .22 but i suppose my .22 evolution is a compromise.

    not shot mine much .still need to get used to firing it.

    i had a retrofit ram in a air arms Hi-power years ago and once i got the power set it was great to shoot

    I had a Theoben Grand Prix in .177 and the lock time was awesome
    Wished I'd never sold her

    Scirocco in .20 a really early model I rebuilt from a box of bits , again sold it regretted it !!

    And lastly an Eliminator in .22 running at 28ft again thumbhole stock again awesome and again sold it 🙄

    Do we ever learn !!!
