I am slowly building a collection, having re-discovered my interest in air rifles just over a year ago, after some 35 years of absence.

After many interesting posts, here, which stimulated my interest, I recently added to my collection a Webley Omega and a Longbow (Birmingham built). After some patience, it is remarkable what appears from the woodwork in gunshops.

I attended Kempton (well done Binners) and struck up conversations with some interesting, knowledgeable attendees. My eyes also met with an Anschutz 335 and I gather these were highly accurate, albeit rather low on power, with poor welding causing splitting if the power was raised, due to recoil problems.

In particular, I am wondering how the rifles differed. I believe there was a Mk1, a Mk2 and a Mk2 Magnum. Could anyone kindly explain the difference between each and, not least, from the power viewpoint?

Many thanks, in anticipation!
