    Can't locate the on-line flyer I saw, now, but it was detailing the launch at the NEC Shooting Show, and I doubt very much that BSA would put so much R&D time and money into launching anything other than an air gun, and sincerely hope I'm not wrong?

    Friday in two days however, so all will be revealed then. My money is on a retro learly 20th Century auto hand gun styled over-lever springer pistol, but as long as it is an air or Co2 gun, am more than happy to be proved quite quite wrong.
    Honestly, me too...

    Shhhh! The walls have ears! Or is that potatoes? "The walls have potatoes!"? No, that doesn't sound right. Must be ears!

    Whatever it is there will be a very vocal group crying "Shame!" and "Booooooo!" Plus another shouting "Hurrah!" And singing well into the night.

    I just wanted to be the first onto the bandwagon so I've slipped that post in so I can make my mind up then go and edit the post I made on page 1

    Simples!

    Now THAT would be awesome!

    Unlikely, though??

    And I appreciate we're in the pistol section, but I'd really love it to be a re-worked / improved spring rifle. Unlikely also, but we can dream?

    Did I read earlier in the thread that we'll know tomorrow?

    It would be nicer if it t'were the pistol version of the Firebird. Fixed barrel and all that.

    I am hoping it is a pistol based on the ultra action aimed at the HW44 market but at a better price point. But as Gamo have done CO2 in the past and there seems to be a trend for realistic CO2 replicas that is where I would lay my bet (if I were a betting man).
