    Every Collectors Dream Rifle - Sheer Airgun Pornography

    Can't believe my luck to find this Iconoic Classic with factory fitted scope and standard sights, oh and not forgetting the far sight hood.

    Now come on I.J. You know you have a secret desire to caress and fondle a Relum

    These are the new Zastava, Wartburg of airguns and can only go up in value.

    I did wash my hands thoroughly afterward in case of cross-infection to my other guns.

    He actually loves them so much that when he shows off his best examples he wears protective gloves much like they do in museums when handling prized artifacts

    Very lucky to find one not only with the scope but in such great condition! Excellent find, my mate had one but it was very worn and tired! Have fun and we’ll spotted!

    The only part of that rifle I've ever had in my collection was a stock, purchased with the remaining items from a gun shop that closed down in Totton many years ago, and it weighed a ton. I can't remember what happened to it, but I'm sure it went to a deserving home.

    I had one Relum when I was about 17. Horrible thing. Never again!

    To be really really pedantic, it’s not a “factory fitted scope”. That’s, as you know, a Hungarian FEG branded as a Relum with a Relum-branded scope made in Japan (as it says).

    I used to hold those things in contempt, but have warmed to them as I get older because (a) they actually aren’t that bad; (b) they hold lots of fond memories for many fine folk.

    Confession time

    My first air rifle as a kid was a Tornado...although with the crappy scope I had on it I could barely hit anything so traded in in for an Air Arms Combat

    Fuelled by nostalgia I recently bought one from Protek fully expecting it to shoot like a bag of spanners.

    However I have been pleasantly surprised, and using the open sights I've found it to be quite accurate and not at all bad to shoot.

    Maybe I just got lucky with this one, but I'm glad I got it.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    I had one of these when I was around 13 … Even then as now, I look at them and think, why didn’t they just add another 6/7 inches to the fore end … mine actually shot ok.
    Not sure where I`m going.....But I`ll get there someday
