The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
If you are into early Lincoln Jefferies stuff, here's a link to mine. I think you may like it.

Would just like a BSA standard in 22 with a peep sight, to match my 1923 BSA CS, with peep!
Thanks - Geoff.
Over the years, I've seen these at gun shows on sale for far less than original ticket price (Blue Book guesstimates them at $750 in 100% condition.) The problem being that they don't get any interest from shooters, which is pretty ironic for an "Olympic" rifle. Without any shooter's interest, the only value is it's collectability and it only draws sparse interest from that group.
It is in fact not a true production model since Crosman never produced them in the factory. Every gun was hand built by the prototype shop and there they didn't even have a supply of parts, they only ordered parts when an order came in. So, these are really custom handmade rifles.
The fact that no spare parts are available, getting repairs would be difficult, but, since nobody shoots these, guess it really would be a barrier.
It's still an interesting gun.

Depends what's a classic rifle but a modern classic would be a dalesman genesis.

Mine is a Webley Service air rifle in the correct factory supplied fitted case.
There are lots of conversions out there but I have only ever seen one genuine case during my collecting career.

Funny how on threads like this, I always end up mostly naming fancy-grade break-barrels. It shows what my archetype is for a desirable air rifle: what I wanted when I was 14 in 1982.
Always quite fancied a Park.
For some reason, never got the Whiscombe thing. I know they must be great, but I don't have an emotional connection to them.
