That is lovely.

Thanks for hosting the pics Mark, and thanks to everyone for the kind comments.

Does anyone know how many of these were made?, just out of interest.

In my view this model is the pinnacle of spring piston air rifles and the most exquisite air rifle ever made - Pure Class.

You are a very lucky man and I am very jealous.

I would be very interested if it ever came up for sale...

That is a beautiful example of a Running Boar Mod300S.

If I didn't already have a Running Boar version myself (albeit an earlier version with the fixed cheekpiece, non-thumbhole type stock) I would be insanely envious.

I think we need an air gun picture porn gallery, at least that way you can look at your peril or avoid and be happy in the knowledge you were never tempted to want or wish for, such beautiful air gun engineering.

Already done it, John. Unfortunately I've included the ugly ones along with the babes.

What is the ft lbs this gun shoots at 6ft lbs. I have a 300 s and 300su. The reason that i am not on the BBS more often and I would like to is the difficulty of posting pics. I am surprised that it hasnt been sorted.

More porno on the way to Mark!!!,

Pics of my Walther LGR Running Boar (not politically correct then!) that I bought new in 19??, and shot nationally, with two scopes, one hi power, and then a Nikko Stirling with post reticule when they changed the rules to restrict the scope mag to times 4 and restricted the diameter, I could not afford a twin post, and then did not like them when I tried one!

Also pic of the target, we called the 10 mt ones Running Rat!

I sold it ten years back, won't tell you who to, to avoid him getting begging emails!

Now I need to find the pics!

Have Fun
Robin

No need to worry about that.

I sold it on when I managed to acquire my FWB Mod 300S Running Boar rifle, the LGR Running Boar now resides with an enthusiast in Essex who is also called Robin.

I still have copies of the photographs of it that you sent me when I bought it, if needs be I can e-mail them back to you.

Here are a couple of pictures of it when I owned it:

Pics now sent to Mark.

When I bought my Walther LGR RB they were only built to order, so they will be quite rare. Mine was a a well used one as our club had a 10mt Running Boar range, it was very difficult as you will see if Mark posts the target the rings were not a lot bigger than the precision 10 mt, and the two speeds were a slow run, two meter gap in five seconds, and a fast in 2.5 seconds. And you have to start with the butt below the elbow and not move till the target appears.
It was a demanding but fun event.

I see the buyer of mine ten years back has posted in this thread, does he still have it?

Have Fun
Robin

Here is Robin C Walther LGR RT - another fantastic example of a very limited production of specialist air rifles.

Thanks Mark

As you can see, I had a high custom mount on mine to get an upright head position, done after seeing the then World Champ shoot at Bisley with the .22rf 50 meter event, his home made scope mounts were welded on!

The scopes were not parallax correct then, most were set for 100 mts, so we had a tame optician who ground .1 diopter lenses that we put in the front of the scope to correct for 10 mt parallax.

Its a shame this event has died, its a great event. When we had our range at Norwich I tried to get the FT boys to try it, as we would have allowed FT rifles, but none would, too difficult!

The BFRC still does it at Bisley, but mostly these superb pieces of kit are retired as collectors pieces, a shame, they need shooting at moving targets.

Have Fun
Robin

I love the whole running target aesthetic of these classics.

That 300 is a beaut. Nice rifle but I always found the thumbhole uncomfortable. It lacks a shelf for the thumb so I find it has a tendency to stick out at 90 degrees. But it does have a vertical thumb shelf that works a treat.

Personally, when it comes to ‘shootability’ (if there is such a word) I think the LGR RT is the finest air rifle ever made, here’s a snap of mine.



Also my Annie 380 RT, maybe the ultimate spring air rifle….
