    Had a few over the last 5yrs but it will have to be one or the other of my 2 'Webley Raiders' both were the 2 shot version, the first was a 'Venom Viper' and the other (my current rifle) is just a standard 'Raider' but both very good rifles...

    In a moment of stupidity I sold the 'Viper' so as soon as I saw my current 'Raider' in my local RFD I just had to have it, it's a keeper that's fer sure 'but' how many times have I said that before !...

    Not technically from the last 5 years, but couldnt resist adding it anyway H as to be my lovely left-handed walnut .22 Titan Bearcat. Owned from new from the early nineties. It really is so light and " dinky" . Today , it arrived back from Mr Bowkett having had a full overhaul and a JB improved match trigger fitted.

    Ooh, this isn't easy - my all time favourite has to be the .177 TX200hc that I've got now.
    It's my third TX so, I've made sure that I've got this exactly as I want it - I love taking it out of the bag.

    Most memorable have to be a .177 Cricket and a .25 Matador - both built like a tank and, both awesome hunting rigs in their own ways.

    All of the above.

    Walnut Webley Longbow.

    A number of others come close, but that's the one I first thought of, which is probably a good indicator.

    Without a doubt the .25 rapid,
    Rifle, boxed 6-24 Nighteater scope, twin 12ltr 300bar bottles, bag & 2850ish pellets for around £800 iirc.

    Had been bought while the seller lived overseas & I'm pretty sure that it had only shot the missing 150 odd pellets as he had 1000 each of 3 brands with 1 tin of each opened and all 3 were dire through the rifle.

    I did start to worry as every pellet I tried in it was also dire, until I found some JSB Exact Kings which it shoots ragged single hole (next best "group" is about 30mm )

    Rifle: MPR in an ACZ stock bought from a bbs member for £600.
    Pistol: definitely Aeron B96. So much I had to have two, just in case..

    Best Buy...

    Bought a BSA R10Mk2 last weekend for £250.00. Seller thought it most likely needed a replacement regulator, but if I was fortunate, just a set of new seals. Fortune was shining on me as, when I took it to Duncan's Gunmakers in Hull first thing Monday, three seals were replaced and that's all I needed to "shell" out for...pun intended!

    My b&m AA tx200sr bullpup. Its a bugger to cock and is heavy but i can hold it and look at it for ages. I was told this was keiths old gun. Its the only one i have seen in a ft type stock with a carved out hamster. So glad i added it to my collection.
