    Mmmm.. On Ticket, I'd have to go for an Eliminator BUT it would have to be left hand with a Hyedua stock.
    Another Theoben FAC air rifle that has always interested me would be the Dual Magnum but only a limited few were ever made and some went to the US.
    I've had a slot for an FAC air rifle for a while but as of yet, to date I haven't filled it preferring rimfires.

    I really fancy a H5 Auto
    BUT it would have to be good to be better than my Rapids. Down side would be back to base servicing

    I'm not put off acquiring any further guns, and there are a few still remaining on my future dream wish list. It's lack of available funds, safe storage space and facing the wrath of 'er indoors that are my constraints.

    Although a nice, cheap pistol may be joining me soon (and easy to find safe storage for).

    Since they came out I have covetted the Park Rifle RH93. Trouble is it was too expensive for me when it came out, too heavy for most things, too rare on the secondhand market, and even if one did come up it was always when I was skint.

    I should have one by the middle of next week.

    The only other rifle I had this yearning for was the Drulov Eagle. I got one of those in September. I feel like a low-budget version of Unframed Dave. This is awesome!!

    AA 400 with ambidextrous stock. just a bit of steel as as the trigger. with a brass trigger pull.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    I have always lusted after a Theoben Slr88 and could have bought one for£450 a few years back, but after owning a Fenman and not being impressed with it(crap trigger and power drop) as put me off of getting one.Saying that I had a go with some of (Transporter) Ray's lovely gas Rams rifles and will probably get a Sirocco or countryman if a nice one comes along.

    Parker Hale / Pax Phoenix- Always fancied the looks. In reality I've not snapped at a couple that have been for sale. That boat may well have sailed now.

    SLR88 Ultra-carbine. They only made about twenty, I think, and they are bloody expensive when, once a decade, they come up for sale. Would also really like a first production model Sirocco.

    But that's not so much putting off as having demand but no supply.

    I have fancied an AK replica, but £250-400 (latter for the Yunkers, these days) seems silly money for what is basically an adult toy. I wish they'd import the Crosman Comrade so I could scratch that itch for less. I also like the Crosman look-alike of the FN SCAR-L, which is mechanically a 760, but sells here for well over a ton. Which is crackers. It's a cheap plastic BB gun.

    A great air rifle Les !
    I once had the chance of a left handed Imperator, actually had it in my hands but declined to buy it, WHY ?
    I had just shelled out on a Fenman and a HW 80 previous so I was watching the pennies at the time !
