Hankering after guns you’ve owned and sold on ..

[look no hands]

Both those rifles are good choices though, that ProSport was one of the most accurate rifles I’ve owned - it matched a very accurate TX200SR at 50 yards (must get my own PS sorted) and an SFS Challenger let go of? You must have been in dire need of coin or high on moly to sell that, I would have thought a late model BSA would be the last thing Pete look no hands would let go of …

The Park and the Sport are charming but have big flaws that are like, nah, after a while.

Sounds like a similar generation to Pete’s rifle, I think it was in the 800 serial number zone. Didn’t the earlier ones have a shorter stroke or something?

Yes they where short stroked like the mk1 TX, the Challenger was PXed for a Pro Elite at TAL Arms in Bournemouth, when I think back how many guns I've had over the years, I bought a SFS Stingray custom T from TAL as well, that was something special as well, that was PXed as well for a .177 Goldstar.

Rose tinted glasses is often the cause of reminiscing over past guns, it's often not the gun you miss, but memories associated with it, perhaps from your youth

I've done it myself, I sold a Webley Vulcan years ago I had as a kid, missed it and bought it back a few years later from the purchaser as he was giving up air guns. I kept it for about 6 months, it never fired a shot, and I sold it again - still miss that gun

I think you've hit the nail on the head James

Just bought 2 rifles, myself, that very much remind me of days gone by.
Oddly enough, they're both as capable as most modern stuff is, so very useable
