That looks intriguing.
But £1200?!
Will only use cherry lipbalm
".......the T16 will offer match level of accuracy in a recoilless non- precharged rifle. Nothing at this level has been offered before."
Hmmmm..... FWB, Original, Whiscombe and Park Rifles might take a bit of umbrage at that statement.....
nice, though.....

Where they Gas Rams ?. Maybe that is what they are saying . People say Gas Rams will knock the fillings out of your teeth .
"nine point eight"
Not if they're opposing they won't.
That sidelever is very overbearing on otherwise decent aesthetics.
The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?

What will the weight be of the finished product? The same as a Whiscombe or Park I wonder as no details have been published.
Warning! Flammable
Fine if you like things made from leftover spares from the space shuttle. I wouldn't give you 1200p for it personally.
This is all beginning to sound like the legendary metisse or matisse thing which went from a hybrid CO2 or HP air multishot to an overpriced single shot turd.

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

Interesting.
"Heavy is good, heavy is reliable". Nice movie quote. Unfortunately not true. Well-designed and well-made is reliable, irrespective of weight.
Not keen on the looks.
Not keen on the resurrection of the Sterling brand. Is it made in the Sterling factory in Dagenham by the successors of George Lanchester and George Patchett? No, because Sterling folded 30 years ago.
But this is one of the few recent British (or is that "British"? - how much is actually made here, and by whom?) air guns of recent years that is interesting and that I would like to check out.
A gas-ram Whiscombe/Park copy is definitely interesting. Of course, the problem with the JWs and the Parks is that for HFT and FT they are classed with PCPs, against which they come close, but fall slightly short in comps, and for sporting use they are big, costly, heavy, less wieldy and only slightly better in accuracy terms than a top recoiling springer like a TX or a 77.
So, actually, I like this. It's interesting.
On the other hand, I think I said the same about the "Webley" Paradigm. Which never made production.

I think I'll stick to my recoiling, spring powered HR81.

Just seen their version of a Webley mk2. Nice but again expensive. Mach 1.5
