    Wow, that is a fantastic deal.

    Venoman is a superb tuner, I've seen old and wise air gun shooters, completely amazed by his tune ups of various chinese springers !!!

    It certainly was, I got it off the Chinese Airgun Forum, I ended up swapping a different rifle for a V-mach kitted HW95 and dropped that into the CS700 stock and selling the Xs20 on, although the 20 was superb to shoot, compared to the 95, you could definitely tell the difference in build quality, the 95 was just smoother and made all the right noises.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Some interesting stories and rifles on this thread … the ones that pique my interest are the Slavias, the Remington Express, the BSA Meteor Mk 6 and the SMK XS38. None of these are really talked about much but sound like excellent low cost rifles for home tunes to really put them up there with the expensive machines.

    And the Daisy Red Ryder. My Dad said that was the desirable airgun of the late 1940s & early 50s. My grandfather somehow got him the best air-rifle of the era, the Falke 80.
