I must be only person who doesn't like the pro sport but Rustybuzz as the best custom one I have ever seen. Mach 1.5

Ha ha Pro sports look nice But are the most awkward rifles to use I had two ! one was the custom BAR one they used to have hung on the back wall (with the carbon shroud ) in 22 and later one i swapped a 77 for neither of which I kept very long
Bruno Silva from Portugal. He is making some fantastic stuff
I believe he also does a stock for the tx200 now.
Take a look at this.

Nope, you're certainly not the only one, Paul.
Well, saying that I don't like it would be a bit strong and I do feel that from some angles it does look stunning. But I've never felt the urge to own one. When I was to treat myself to another high-end springer a couple of years ago I went for a TX HC Walnut. If I didn't own so many HWs already it would have been another of Hermann's finest for sure. The desire to own something different made an AA the one to go for, but I could have so easily have plumped for yet another HW.
And, the more I think about it, I can't help but think that the HW98, thumbhole '97 variants and the synthetic '97 are as aesthetically pleasing as anything currently out there in terms of off-the-shelf guns. Add to that the solid build and the sheer array of tuning and customising goodies available will see their continued success.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 17/18, 2025.........BOING!!
Shan't.
The newer Sporter has a better trigger, the old one was passable at best, and it has a much beefier breech latch, and the old pressed steel safety catch was awful. As well as the rear block being made of some kind of cheesy alloy.... If Feinwerkbau had built the Sport to the same standards as the Feinwerkbau 300 then you would have a case. But it didn't.
Get the newer one and pimp that.
Here's one that might be considered as high end if it went up for sale, might be a bit more than £1000 though
Not the one and only but the one in the video would be cheaper

I very nearly bought the anniversary model shown in the video, as I was after the 34 120th anniversary model but the one in the video is the 340 125th if I remember correctly, I contacted Versandhaus Schneider a few of years ago asking if by any chance they may have had a 120th model kicking about unsold and they said yes but it turned out to be the 125th shown above, massively disappointed after getting my hopes up.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Like I've said in the past, I'm willing to overlook the little problems they seem to have sometimes as the 34 120th anniversary edition is such a pretty gun with perfect classic lines with some nice touches, I'd have one in a heartbeat if someone offered me one or I found one somewhere.
