    Don't think they are a current model now so would have to be second hand.

    I’d vote yes. Definitely not a bad gun, may be a very good one. Certainly an interesting one.

    shorter 460 right ? If so should be better for 12 FP...

    Have you seen this by Hector on the 430.

    Advantages over the others are short TP, one piece compression tube amazing, a no play cocking lever and a spring closing breech

    I bought one and have no regrets. Twas a tad dry inside however. I went for .22 since I have another incarnation in the form of the 440TH in .177 and I'm very happy with that also- I just fancied having almost the same gun in different calibres..

    In the end I didn't -
    Lovely rifle when I found one - cocking effort is noticeable, probably more hunting than target / plinking

    Some lucky folk will be getting bargains if they know where to look (it took me a bit of scouting around)
