    Testament to venoms skill and knowledge its dam good.
    I always preferred the original name myself as it is what it is "original".
    Strange how Diana rws original recalled the 45 to replace the sprung steel safety plate for plastic yet very few have the plastic safety ,I only have one too.
    The anniversary model looks nice with the side plates with images on in 177 only though.

    Enjoy your 45.
    thanks,

    I sold my RWS 45 (i think as i can't find it). I bought it new after reading Jim Tylers review in Sporting Air Rifle,i already had the Original 45 in .177 so opted for .22 with the RWS.Sadly it had little use because the pellets i was using back then were a very tight fit then after not so many shots later it would not engage the trigger.I found it to be a faulty piston & read later is was a common fault on the RWS.
    I still liked how it handled & think the trigger is nice to use, this was like new should have kept it.
