    Hmmmm ... I have two beautifully tuned, beautiful looking tuned rifles which haunt me for letting them go to mention, here:

    1) A Venom stage one tuned (complete with Twin Cobra emblem/motif) Webley & Scott Stingray Venom Special in .22, and ...

    2) An SFS stage two tuned (complete with Sandwell Field Sports emblem/motif) Webley & Scott Longbow in the most beautiful of grade one walnut stocks ...

    I have a Walthar LGV Master Pro in .177 arriving tomorrow, however, so hopefully, once said LGV is in my mitts, my wailing and gnashing of teeth over the loss of both the aforementioned, will abate?

    A chameleon has interchangeable barrels on a 77 model which are otherwise welded in and in my case has an FTS stock which is adjustable for field target shooting.

    Well as said on my LGV thread, today is a good day, for not only has my LGV as detailed above arrived (), but also, the current owner of my old SFS tuned Webley Longbow has just offered to let me buy it back to boot (thanks Blackrider aka John ). Yes indeed, today is a very good day, a very good day indeed.

    Custom

    Some wonderful examples there folks. The mid 80's early 90's was the hay day for the custom gun! Those days seem to have gone and these days were it's more bespoke custom rifles. Mach 1.5...ps lovely FTS rifles folks.

    I still love my ProSport. It might not be a "custom" in some eyes but to me its special.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    Did Venom do a CS700 thumbhole raised-rail 1980s carbine Lazaglide HW85?

    That would definitely float my personal boat. Peachy.
