    Sound like a good competition gun!

    Assume we are talking factory items, not Venom Mach1s etc.

    FWB Sport with a better stock for scope use, better barrel lock-up, and a better trigger and a safety unit that isn’t prone to malfunction.

    Webley got close with the Omega but didn’t quite get it right.

    They got closer with the Tomahawk (full power in unrestricted markets, short-stroke at sub-12) and Longbow. The latter benefits from a muzzle weight.

    As has been said often, a break-barrel version of the TX200 (Mk1 ideally) would be excellent.

    I see people are able to get 11fpe from the old HW50/55 platform, but my experience with those guns is that this is difficult to improve power much.
    That custom piston probably gives a stroke increase?

    Sounds like we have some similarities in our ideas. I have only tried a Longbow once, and that was a really good rifle.
    The breakbarrel TX with the mk1 stroke should be spot on!

    What happened to the longbow? It was a pretty decent shooter, nice size and weight, good trigger, miss mine

    I’m enjoying my 98 atm

    Webley went bust.

    Some Longbows were made by Hatsan in Turkey for a while, but they generally were not as good as the originals. Some of these (the SE) had a nice walnut thumbhole stock, though.

    The Tomahawk names survives, but is (or until recently was) simply a rebadged Hatsan.
