    I have to agree, although I haven't had anything tuned by Tony for many years as I've become more of a collector but I used to (and still do when I ring up now) get a brilliant service, his tuning has always been spot on as well, I've sent him some right old "filling shakers" in the past and they've come back pleasant to shoot.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    There seems to be a lot of very skilful chaps knocking about in this community​ - I think it just attracts the type of people that have to have a tinker with things.

    I've had a mid 80s HW77 that SFS had tuned and, it was one of the nicest springers that I've shot.
    Also, I have a friend oop North that tunes all of his own springers - his HW97 is probably THE nicest springer that I've shot so far.

    All of the above.

    I had a .22 HW80 stage 1 tuned by SFS, no complaints it was nice and smooth to shoot. I would recommend them for both customer service and workmanship.
    I'd imagine in the future his custom rifles such as the Imp will be quite collectable. Turn around can be quite a wait though.
