Am I searching for a hens tooth?

Buy the HW44 with some restraint and you can always sell it further down the line and get most of your money back, so in real terms it will not actually cost you much

I've been on the same search for years, the Drulov and the Crosman 600 seems like the most affordable accurate semiautos, with the Drulov perhaps beeing the most sensible choice these days.
They are virtually unobtainable here in Norway, but they seem to show up for sale once in a while over in the UK.

Edtwozeronine - your right, what I ideally want seems to fall very much in the camp of a professional shooters pistol with the price tag to match like the Rohm or new / nearly new LP5 or LP50. Serious money for a serious pistol!

Jesim - I dont think I could bring myself to stump up for a HW44. From what I've seen secondhand recently they are fetching nearly as much as I paid for my 110 and more than the Rohms that are available.

Evert - both lovely looking pistols but hens teeth themselves!

I think given the budget im looking at c. £250 tops for what is going to be used for less serious shooting I'm going to have to compromise and accept not all the boxes are going to be ticked. Being realistic I think I should take a look at a PP800 as it ticks most of the boxes. Despite not being self-indexing it is multi-shot and seems more likely to be the most accurate, fully adjustable sights, pcp and has the advantage of being easy to moderate for back garden use.

Thanks all for the input and suggestions, much appreciated and certainly gave food for thought.

The pp800 certainly seems to fit your bill, I think it was the Artemis that chaps had at the club had but it came with a wooden ambidextrous grip that needed a chop down to access the loading port better. I noticed on current Artemis pistols they've gone to a plastic grip on Google image search it seems anyway.

There is the FX Ranchero, 8 shot mag, PCP, right handed. New they were £500. What the availability is now or the price I don't know.
