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

    It seems like TAL are more interested in the scuba side of the business these days...in my opinion anyway.

    That Venom 85 was my dream German break barrel. I saw it too and tried to buy it, but it wouldn't take the payment and flagged up as unavailable. Just have to be satisfied with my standard hw85k I suppose. Was lucky to find that in vgc.

    It was one of my dream guns too so I sent one to Steve Pope and he did a v-mach version of the old venom cost be a bit but was well worth it

    You're lucky, I don't even have a standard 85

    I have an 85 stock though so I feel like I have my foot on the first rung of the ladder!!

    Venom 85

    They also did a venom 85 with a 10 inch barrel then fitted with a silencer like on the 77 mamba. This was called the sidewinder. Mach 1.5
