I actually ordered a leftie 80 Lazahunter following a prolonged period of drooling over this particular ad. When finally picking the gun up in May 2005, I was advised that the stock had been hand finished by Ivan Hancock and was one of the last he did personally prior to retirement. The gun is as good as ever and has only required one main spring replacement following many tens of thousands of shots over the years. It is in fact probably my most prized possession still.
Will definitely be following me into my grave......

They did at least one Airsporter back in the early days.
There is an old thread here that has some great pics of trapshot adverts. I have an Venom HW80 of that era which appears to be called Magnum Force unless that is just a description?

I've got some slug guns.
These are the names that were given to certain rifles once they had the full treatment. The magnum force was just an advert name for an FAC Venom 80. Some rifles just had a tune so no name given. The Airsporter , Mercury , Original 45 to name but a few. Mach 1.5
Wow 3 years. Doesn't time fly. Yes missed the Super Viper and V8 Viper from the Webley Venom days. Mach 1.5
Think that's all them covered now? Mach 1.5
I've got a venom sharp innova bullpup
I used to borrow my mates HW80 hunter on occasions and I was well jealous as it was fabulous to use and looked so darn good. Better than my well used 80 of the time.
Despite not using it he wouldn't sell it to me So I'll go with the above as the best!!!!!!
