    Bought a tatty old HW77 off here a few years ago and gradually tidied it up. Fitted a B&C tuning kit, refinished the stock and fettled the trigger. Shot really nicely but the blueing was knackered. I got in touch with RichardH on here and he did a great blueing job for me 18 months ago. Recently obtained the original sights and now shoot it competitively at home courtesy of the UBC! Won't sell this one.

    As for pistols I seem to have accumulated 25 of them over the last few years Several older 10m pistols which I love and modern replcas (Webley, colts etc) but I treated myself to a Crosman 600 last summer, most fun with my clothes on I've ever had and won't be selling that anytime soon
    video transferred to DVD, USB etc. Old negs and photos scanned to digital media

    Me too, my HW100 gave me great satisfaction when using it but the .25 Impact really is on another level.

    I brought a Hammerli Black Force 800 new for just under £80. I only brought this gun so that I didn't have to let anyone with a passing interest touch any of my cherished toys + the price was too good to be true. I don't want to like it because my brain says cheap Chinese junk but I really like this gun. Can't believe I have admitted that in the company of such knowledgeable people. My untrained eye even tells my brain that the blueing looks better than my LGV.

    Hatsan Galatian .25 on FAC Just magical
    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

    I'm going to be a bit awkward here - apologies!

    I was thinking about which of 2 rifles I would put as an answer here but then it struck me that the thing that has most improved my HFT shooting, and therefore made 2 great rifles even more enjoyable to shoot, was finally finding the right scope for me and my crap eyesight.

    So, my answer is the Sightron SIII 10x42 scope.

    A single accessory qualifies too! Provided it is something that gets lot of use and has given most benefit to you....and does not just sit in a cupboard!

    Regarding accessories, I bought a small rest that fits into the accessory rail under the forend of the AA/CZ T200, only a tenner plus post, extremely useful rest for shooting and to keep the rifle upright when working on it.
