The Airgun Bug Revisited.......

[English]

Well, not that I ever lost the "thing" for airguns, but 2018 has seen me "rejuvenate" my interest in them!

I've managed to pick up a FAS604 and I've also got a mint .177 Airsporter

And I think I'm just about to snag a 1/2 decent FWB 127 Sport.

However the question comes upas to what would really like now and the answer is something I feel is not available of the shelf and it would be this:

A Weirauch HW97 in stainless .20 cal with a Summer Laminate stock - so if I wanted to aquire such a thing, who do you think might be able to provide such a combination for me?

Similarly - whilst I'm steadily getting there with some favourites from the 1980's what other miracles would you point me to look at from the current Era and why?

Thanks

Im with you on the Summer laminate, have one added to my HW77. Mine came form Hull cartridge at the game fair they were selling off stocks which had minor imperfections.
As for what you should buy - anything that takes the fancy, but a few ideas.
HW77 - 1980s icon.
HW80 - pretty much as above.
Webley Vulcan, Tracker, Omega.
BSA - Mercury S.
Sharo Innova/Ace.
Sussex armoury Jackal.
There will be a lot of others but these spring to mind as guns I wanted back then and since have had the opportunity to own.

Got rid of a couple of rapids and started to thin out but a lovely one came along and could be another soon, Got rid of sharp ace and innova and my 2200 magnum a while back but I've just managed to pick up , well on Its way a 2200w, I just seem to be going one direction then another and back again, My springers are also building back up slowly,

Great to keep feeding that bug, Mr English.

I think for many of us, as highlighted above, we'll chase airguns of either personal nostalgic value or guns that you couldn't afford when younger but dreamed of owning back then, like my purchase of a FWB300S a few years ago.

New stuff........Walther LGV and FWB Sport at some point.

And although not as well-engineered or having the finesse of any of the guns I have, the idea of a Tracker has always niggled away at me for its sporting lines and dimensions. If I picture in my mind a scene of stalking through a woodland shoot, it's always a rifle along the lines of the Tracker that I imagine there. And then there are those lovely Air Arms sidelevers, especially the Khamsin, Camargue, Bora and Woodsman.

Thanks Tony for that mental picture of the Tracker, I have a deluxe model in need of some work which I will be sure to photograph in that situation when I write it up.

And I'll look forward to that, Pete.

i sold my khamsin and jackel earlier this year. i still have my tracker deluxe though. i have picked up this year a park r93 with a lovely walnut thumbhole stock. another .177cal bas goldstar underever. idea was to thin out the collection. sold 4 and bought another 2. somewhere i have lost the idea of thinning out

For the REplies - would still like some guidance on this though:

Any ideas gratefully appreciated?
