    Air guns you wish you had bought but never did, a just for fun question??

    Just a general question for fun really, but I had this very nostalgic conversation with a shooting buddy the other evening which went along the lines of....
    "What airguns, air rifles or pistols were on the wish list in years gone by but at the time you either couldn't afford, justify, father christmas didn't leave under the tree or you just didnt get around to buying and are now no longer available (well at least not new and shiny in a box)

    So the question is what was on the wish list?

    I always wanted a Webley Tracker and a L/H Webley Omega when I was a kid and was about to buy a Brocock Fox in the Box just as the Tac cartridges got banned.

    I was offered the last stock of PH dragons when they stopped being made.

    £250 each.

    For me it's only going back a couple of years. I had the chance to buy a mk2 Kalibrgun Colibri from a gunshop in Spain, exchange rate would have made it about £800. Still regret not buying it, even more so when you look at second hand prices of them now.
    One shot, one kill. Not luck, just skill.

    A Venom Mach1 for me, I always thought they where Fac only,but could be specified for 12/ftlbs .
    I can't remember how much they started at ??,£1200+ but I would have had one if I had the money at the time.
    I have just got myself a lovely Theoben Sirocco deluxe in .22, another rifle that I wanted back in the day.
