Your favorite gun that you have NOT owned??

Guessing that China probably produce more guns than anyone else but are incapable of making anything that is considered desirable. Why is this? Quality? Backup? Lack of innovation? I don't doubt they have the ability to manufacture the elusive AA Break barrel but would anyone buy one if it was Chinese?

No!

Always wanted a falcon fn12 lighthunter. Think I might sell my ultra and get one

The last time I was in John Knibbs he had a light hunter in the racks.

May have the name wrong but the Theoben version of the HW90 - Eurocustom?

Thank you, evert.. This isn't the first time I've heard that, especially regarding bulging cylinders? Not that it would happen anytime soon anyway, due to lack of space and funds......

Theoben SLR might have been nice but the one that got away was the GC2. Big, heavy, slow and cumbersome but ground breaking in every way.

Airmasters 77FTS in full ft spec: shoulda got it instead of a Theoben Grand Prix
ISP Mk3
Daystate CR 97 SE: got a CR97 but the SE version is just gorgeous!

Oh, they are nice guns, but mine has struggled to make power. Dont know if it is the cylinder stampings or something else, or the fact that I should have tried more springs in it. As said they are nice, but not the holy grail some people say they are.

A full house lazaglide 80. I had one on loan from a clubmate for a few weeks when my 77 was out of action. Slimtech silencer, full Venom blueing, grade 3 walnut CS800 stock. Think it might even have had a Mach 1 trigger, or at least a trigger job.

The nicest springer I've ever shot, just near perfect in every way. That was a wrench when I had to hand it back!

A Whiscombe of some sort.

One or two air cartridge pistols too, probably one of the Uberti made SAA replicas and the Pietta Colt 1860 cartridge conversion.

A good SSP match rifle: LGR, 601 or Super Air.

Also I want the grade 3 walnut CS800 back that I stupidly sold a few years back. The aforementioned owner of the 80 had gone down to CS and hand selected the blanks for said 80 and his 77 at the time. I'd bought the 77 stock for a song around 1998.
