    Spot on.

    AA have a finite capacity at their factory, in both personnel and machines. What do they stop making in order to produce something that for most shooters would not justify the necessary price required to recover costs and make a worthwhile margin.

    people don't want to shoot gimmicks, they want consistency and accuracy so the TX 200 does everything that can be asked of a boinger and for those that want a gimmicky boinger they can shoot the pro-sport. In my educated opinion the TX will outshoot anybody and can be tuned to such a degree that it is on par with a lot of PCP rifles. If you want break barrels then go for a weirhaurch break barrel or get a gammo if you're only throwing lead away.
    Does anyone know how to contact doughnuts Anonymous cos I just cant seem to give them up and may be a 0 addict

    It's complicated, but basically the Omega was a great rifle by 1979 standards, only it came out in 1984. The Tomahawk and Longbow would have been world-beaters any time before about 1988, but came out in 2000 and 2002. There were other underlying issues about Webley's business that meant it was on borrowed time since at least 1970 and arguably the 1920s.

    Don't see one in Daystates line up. Probably for good reason, as they struggle with their PCP's!
