    What are your quests for 2018? - the Dream - and the Reality

    Thoughts for quests for 2018:

    My dream aquisition that I will probably never obtain would be the Brown Pistol.

    My quest is for a Crosman Town & Country Senior, tuff but they are out there.

    For me the dream has to be a Howa 55G CO2 Rifle.

    The quest is to acquire a Theoben Fenman in .20.

    My dream acquisition would be a Daystate CRX, in lefty configuration.

    My only other target this year, and my most likely purchase would be an HW50 with the screw in back block.

    You need to keep an eye on the eGun website. They do crop up there very occasionally. A couple of examples sold last week for about £300 each, and the seller was happy to post to the UK and (most unusually) accepted Paypal.

    You might try also:

    dhd24.com and: "Freizeit, Sport, Reisen" or "Waffensport"

    they sell Airguns.....often lots of HAENEL (dhd24 is used by former East-Germans)

    A nice Westley Richards 'Highest Possible' - preferably a good one with plenty of original finish. I did have one more than 30 years ago but had to sell it when I needed the cash. I still have the 'muscle memory' of cocking and shooting it - probably it made an impression because it was so different!

    One of the Tell 1s that sold on eGun.de last week was a strange one with a shortened barrel that looked like it had been in some sort of gallery device.

    Pistol wise I’ve got my fingers crossed that Kempton in March sees me walking away with an Abas Major

    Hi Danny many thanks for the photo of the Tell1 that sold on Egun, l have to agree with you that it looks like it's been fitted to a gallery.
