    I also have one of these in 22LR, a fixed stock version, serial 50008, it's a lovely rifle to shoot, do you still have yours?

    Kind Regards

    Ill look up my serial no. and take a pic or two
    When it first arrived there was a deep gouge in the metal of the folding stock which was under the finish so obviously not an ‘ in transit’ issue
    The vendor was great and swapped out the stock no problem.

    I later heard that the imbel fals may have been remanufactured rather than truly new so who knows what might have caused that gouge……bullet strike perhaps? Who knows….

    Yes I know, I had a bid on it, went for £2800 + buyer premium of 27.5%, and then VAT on premium, RFD transfer etc.

    If i'd not already had one, I'd have paid that without flinching. As it happens I actually paid slightly more for mine (in mint condition though) and could not justify that amount for a nice to have second one.

    For that money you’d really really want it. Considering hammerli tac R1 and umarex h&k, beretta brx1 etc can be had for around £500. Saying that I’d love one
