    My FWB Sport is hard to beat on elegance of its lines.
    A walnut sexy stock would lift it even higher.

    (Anyone want to post my picture?)

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Nice Webleys. I always thought the Viscount Deluxe was a particularly nice-looking rifle. Pity it doesn't shoot as well as it looks and handles.

    This is another thread where every rifle that has ever been made will appear.

    Yes. At some point someone will mention the BSF S80, and the rest of us will throw up.

    Has the lovely Sterling HR 81 not been on this thread yet ? There's a chance for gingernut then.

    About as graceful as an Italian Carcano or a French Berthier.

    Apart from the L2A3 "small metal gun", all Sterling products were a bit useless. I currently own an HR81 (very poor) and used to own a Dagenham AR-180 (truly awful).

    Stop it, you two. That's just not fair.

    And the walnut custom FWB has too big a scope on it. It needs a gloss Leupold 4x28 or small Japanese Tasco/Optima in low mounts.
