I remember (just) these rifle when they were available new but I haven't seen or heard of one for years until a few days ago when talking to a friend. He has two, one in 0.177 cal and the other in 0.22 cal. He says both are in good cosmetic condition and fully functional. Are they really scarce ? Does anyone know how many were made in either calibre, and how well did they function in terms of their competitors of the day, and how good are they by today standards ? Loads of questions, but it just intrigued me as to why I don't come across them very often (It might be that they were so good that they've all ended up in collectors hands and stayed there).

Lastly, what could I expect to pay for one if I could prise it away from the current owner ?

Thanks in advance for any responses,

Vic Thompson.
