    One of the main reasons I'm looking at the 400 mentioned is because of the walnut stock and the short barrel, something the 300 doesn't have.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    My 300 was carbined version with fat mod, but no walnut, struggled to keep it legal, very handy gun, another one I should have kept!

    Had a nice one in .177 that we should have kept. (Same old story).
    I think it was a nicer rifle than the Walther terrus I had at the same time. I didn't have any other break barrels then so can't make any more comparisons. If the trigger had been better I would probably have one over a hw95.
    Unfortunately the trigger was a bit 'gamo'

    I seem to remember that PCP Shooter has a soft spot for these, Pete.

    Also Blackbaronfish has / had one. Can't remember if Nick (Tinners) or NickG did some work on it for him?

    Not convinced it would be worth a lot of effort?
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    Don't worry I'm doing my homework and half the time a lot of these rifles I lust after never get bought as something else pops up and grabs my attention.
