Which new quality break barrel?

[Shed tuner]

The 98 is one of my favourite rifles. I like far too many to single out a "personal best", but if I only had one rifle and it was a 98, I'd be a happy bunny.

I like the 98 stock. And the action (with a bit of stroking). But that galv drainpipe on the end.. seriously ? It's like the yobs who used to put a couple of bags of cement in the back of their BMW325i's to stop the back sliding out... talk about addressing the symptom rather than the problem !

Ah, but the yobs down there obviously had more spondoolies than up here, JB.. Up here it was Escorts and Vauxhall "Shove-its".

So, a nicely tuned, stroked 95 with a 98 stock and a nice, discreet muzzle weight would be more to your liking?

yup, which is exactly what I built for myself many years ago. But it wasn't as good as a TX, and the weight advantage wasn't really a factor in HFT, so I sold it

Fully understandable, Jon.
