    A lot will depend on what your going to use the gun for and how you will use it?

    For this type of gun, these are probably one, if not the, best in class

    I have had mine about 8 years,mine is in .20.
    I use it both on the range and hunting,I did have one issue with it leaking around the filler connection but an easy fix.
    I have it running at 11.4 with H&N ftt 11.42 works for me.

    Charging system is simular to what was on my sumatra which i found not so good as a snap on type. The mag looks like it sits high when loaded so you need higher mounts maybe? Not my cup of tea and definately not at £1200!

    I have a walnut revere and i think its a thing of beauty, but iv had two issues with it since purchase which is a couple of years now, first was the shroud would rattle inside the band and according to daystate it was not excessive and refused to do anything about that so i purchased a huggett shroud and mod and all is good now, its slightly shorter and i think nicer looking, and the second is one of the pins on the mag door keeps trying to come out, every time i open and close the mag it works out slightly and then need tapping back, i suppose i could put some sort of lock tight on it one of these days ill have a good look at it, other than those two items the gun has been lovely to shoot and look at.
