    Put me down for the Saturday please Mick, you should find your account massively inflated by my payment! Always look forward to those lovely days at The Bash, but more than ever to the next one as the idea of a breakbarrel in .177 keeps flitting through my head, and I'm hoping that there may be something on my short list that a kind person will let me have a go with in April.

    You're welcome to try any of mine. Not a huge quantity but a few good ones

    Thank you, most kind. I'm thinking about a short list at the moment, and will put something on this thread in the sure and certain knowledge of getting lots of informed advice

    Put a HW98 on that list.
    Good fun with the TX200 this morning. Kept up with a couple of Steyrs in the mint shooting stakes once I had zeroed the new scope.

    I had a 98 once, SFS tuned and a very nice gun, but somehow we couldn't quite live together, and after a while it doubled the number of guns I have ever sold.

    Current shortlist, completely unaffected by rational analysis, or any other form of logical thinking, but steered by prejudice and impulsive preference, is:

    LGV - because my NickG'd LGU is so impossibly accurate (but not particularly pleasant to shoot)

    HW95 - because my V-Mached 95 in .22 has such a lovely firing cycle that it a danger to my emotional health (but the .177 may not be quite so nice)

    HW80 - because I have never had one, and worry that my life will not be complete until I do

    FWB Sport - do I need a reason? My 300S just makes me want something else by FWB

    But all this could change by April!

    I can't think of anything else that I'd want to add to that list, sir. All very good.

    But I might! Just hoping there will be a few there which I am allowed to try.
