    Put a HW98 on that list.
    Good fun with the TX200 this morning. Kept up with a couple of Steyrs in the mint shooting stakes once I had zeroed the new scope.

    I had a 98 once, SFS tuned and a very nice gun, but somehow we couldn't quite live together, and after a while it doubled the number of guns I have ever sold.

    Current shortlist, completely unaffected by rational analysis, or any other form of logical thinking, but steered by prejudice and impulsive preference, is:

    LGV - because my NickG'd LGU is so impossibly accurate (but not particularly pleasant to shoot)

    HW95 - because my V-Mached 95 in .22 has such a lovely firing cycle that it a danger to my emotional health (but the .177 may not be quite so nice)

    HW80 - because I have never had one, and worry that my life will not be complete until I do

    FWB Sport - do I need a reason? My 300S just makes me want something else by FWB

    But all this could change by April!

    I can't think of anything else that I'd want to add to that list, sir. All very good.

    Thanks, that's one I really want to try. Is yours standard, or has it had some attention?

    It's not standard I'm afraid, venom internals, ginb stock and and a bull barrel. Its quite lively on firing but its accurate. I've a couple of other .177 break barrels that aren't on your list which I will be bringing with me which you're welcome to have a shoot of too. Will be bringing a theoben evolution in .177 and a tuned hw30 in .177
