    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 !!!

    1. Original 1982 Sirocco (historical interest).
    2. Countryman carbine (looks/handling).
    3. Pre-HE Grand Prix (performance).

    FAC: Crusader (entirely for curiosity value).

    Pre he Siroccos take some beating, my .177 evolution is my go to hunting rifle, not owned one yet but I've shot transporters SLR 98 and that was rather nice. Love a Fenman too, I'm also rather fond of my hw90tb. Do you know what, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them
