    The only rifle I have in .20 is a Theoben Sirocco 2000, I only bought it because I wanted to fill two holes in my collection, I wanted a gas ram and a .20 cal, I've never hunted with it, so I can't comment on the stopping power etc, although pellet choice is pretty bad, I was lucky with the Sirocco as I was advised .20 Theoben rammers only like two types of pellets, JSB's and H&N's, so that was pretty easy to find out which ones it liked, unlike other calibres which you may have to try ten different types before finding a suitable pellet (although nowadays I find AA's or JSB's go through most things accurately).

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

    Thank you everyone for chiming in with your thoughts.

    ive decided I’m going for another .20cal and as a result called my local shop for a price on an HW98. As this is special order they will have to get a price from the importer. Which used to be Hull, but I’m not sure who it is nowadays.

    the next new post is going to be: recommend me a scope….

    Squirrels are one of the quarry where you'll find out just how good 20 cal is at uk power, if you have 'good reason' to take out a crow or two as well, that will be illuminating too
